    Submersible trailer lights

    Actually, if the amp is out of the tub, you would be good. The guitar generates a very small voltage. Back on topic, I'm happy with my Optronic lights.

    trailer dolly?

    I use a Trailer Valet XL with a 20V drill for my 4200 lb setup. Works great for maneuvering in tight spaces. Gravel may be an issue if it's soft. They have other options besides the XL that may work better on gravel.

    How to correctly patch holes on the inflatable boat?

    Those are good instructions. I've found that two part PVC cement is better than the typical PVC cement.

    Corrosion on drive

    If they do replace it, hopefully they have one in stock. A friend had his outdrive stolen from the front of his house this fall and the backlog on getting a new one was many months.

    DP 1.95 SM outdrive hosed

    When you say no water in the oil, did you determine that from changing the the oil annually, just looking at the dipstick, or opening the drain plug and draining a bit out? Oil is lighter than water, so it won't show up on the dipstick if it's been setting a while.

    What is this?

    That's a Courtesy light that lights the lower interior. There's one on each side. Should be a switch with that name on your panel. At least there is on my Concept.

    Using inverter on board

    You will likely need more margin between your 650W load and your 750W inverter. A 1000W would be better, especially if you still want to run lights. Have you done the math to determine if you have enough battery power to run the inverter? To run a 650W inverter you're going need about 60 amps...

    Duo Prop Removal

    The primary reason to remove the prop is to grease the splines so it doesn't corrode onto the spline.

    Bellows full of grease/oil

    There are no indents on the seal. It seals against the forward edge of the bell. Clean it up with a scotchbrite pad, apply some triple guard grease, and it will seal fine. There is a fair bit of rubber compression when you tighten the six nuts that attach the drive.

    Have you tried eBay? That’s where I found my joint venture manuals.

    SX-M Prop Housing Anode

    I see in the parts diagram for my joint venture SX-M drive that there is a prop shaft housing anode and retainer, which my drive doesn't have. I can find the anode, but not the retainer on line. I've never seen this anode (3852970) in any SX-M anode kits. Is this anode no longer being used...

    Bellows full of grease/oil

    If it was me, I would pressure test the drive to confirm the input shaft seal is not leaking.

    Holsclaw trailer has no spindle washer ???

    As long as the nut is only contacting the inner race of the bearing, you're good to go.

    Lower unit oil has metallic swirls

    Yep. Figured if there were shavings you would have mentioned it.

    Lower unit oil has metallic swirls

    It looks old, but nothing terrifying. Just be sure to use Volvo Syn 75W-90 oil when you refill it.

    Help with starting issue…

    I would first clean all the electrical connections in the starter circuit ensuring that each metal interface is shiny (battery terminals, starter terminal, negative connection to engine block, etc). I've had similar symptoms once and cleaning the connections addressed it.

    Should we antifoul paint our 1998 SX outdrives?

    Yes, you should paint the drives. It will prevent the growth in the crevices and at the opening of the cooling inlets, but not deep inside the inlets. You should clean the inlet growth out as best as you can, then back flush from the raw water pumps so you don't introduce the broken up crud...

    Keel roller not centering

    The V is intentional. The rollers are there to center the boat while loading, not so much when all the weight is on the bunks. This varies by trailer design. Does the aft roller bracket look bent? If you can, you could raise the rollers a bit, or lower the bunks, but I would ensure all the...

    285 Kitchen Sink Faucet

    Boats generally don't have grey water tanks. It goes over board. The pump you mention sounds like a shower sump pump that collects the low point shower water and pumps it overboard. Do you have a grey tank? You're description is a bit confusing. First the shower water is collected and...
