    Trouble finding engine model number

    From the pics and numbers it appears to me (note maybe only me) that this is a VP motor that was replaced by a Merc reman. OK, seeing the Holley carb means the Merc reman has had the VP carb, intake and other stuff installed on it. So it's a GL model (2 BBL)

    1978 trim motor issues

    Don't see that happening unless the wires are badly corroded You can take the 2 wires on the pump and connect one to + and other to - and it will run one way Swap the wires and it will run the other way It it does that it's not the pump, its connections or switches

    1978 trim motor issues

    Thinking it's the switch panel not making good contact. If it makes contact but not enough to pass sufficient current the solenoid will just click Red is the Main hot wire. Connect red to Green on the solenoid with a jumper, if it works then its the switch panel

    Bravo 3 Gear Lube Capacity- 2.5 or 3.5 quarts

    Yes, you probably have a air bubble in there. Just guessing but could probably leave the vent out over night with drive down and level would drop. When vent opened oil from lube bottle is going to come out, then it will take a some time for the air to slowly move from lower to upper. If it was...

    Battery Died

    Your Bat should have no problems staying up using the boat in that manor. Your Bat should read 12.6V or above just sitting for a couple hours off a charger. If it reads lower there would be a problem. When motor is running the Alternator output should be around 14.5V

    2003 Stingray 230lx Bilge questions

    Bilge pump is not that hard to replace because the old one does not need to be totally removed. Go to local hardware store and get a piece of flat stock aluminum, maybe 1.5 to 2 inch wide stuff. Bust out old pump anyway you need to and remove hose and wires going to it. Attach new pump to...
