    2003 4.3L warning alarm horn TB-V alpha

    Gear oil, temperature for sure. The gear oil deserves a closer look. Staining on the tank can often be mistaken for a level. The float can stick or get porous too, occasionally

    Is it bad to run a pwc out of the water?

    They are just blowing out any water sitting in the system. Nothing to burn out like a water pump.

    DPS-b drive lifts in reverse

    Hi. You definitely do have a reverse locking mechanism. Well known to fail, when they can wear away slightly. See picture. Each side with next to springs there is a catch that engages on the stainless bar

    c4 duo prop question

    Defo a 280 ? C4’s act very similar to a set of b5’s. I’d say you’ve too much prop on her. If you have a 280…that would be strange, I’d think
  12. Q

    Finally got my boat to full speed

    I’d think so. Out with the odd and few serious 4 blade props out there…you don’t get much trim available before you’ll lose grip, with any ally 4 blades I’ve been about. Not too efficient at the top end either. A good 3 blade like a tempest etc should do much better

    Prop help.

    Hi. I’m of the thinking there isn’t really such a thing as a stock or factory prop for a boat. Should be propped to the user’s needs and requirements. Sometimes even location.

    VesselView problem - shows only RPM

    Hi. With regards to the faults shown. These are things to be ignored and blocked. You don’t have those sensors fitted. As for the data freezing..it must be to do with your installation or your device trying to or being connected to something else, like the stereo.

    Finally got my boat to full speed

    Sounds a bit down on rpm and performance to be honest. Not by much, but I’d think that boat should be capable of an easy 45 gps and running to the 4800 rpm with a 19”. The 4 blade won’t be helping much though. Were you trimmed up at those numbers ?

    prop size?

    Sounds like the 16x16 might be the ticket

    Engine dumping fuel

    Hi. This has got to be a fuel pump or sensor issue. Even if the injector or fuel delivery system was open ended…it shouldn’t stay running. You’d think anyway.
