    Rear view Mirror

    Just thought of something but is more complex Look for a car for the Admiral and looked at one with a rear view mirror which is also a camera. So if you have things in the back that obscures the view, flip the switch and mirror is now a camera with same view. Begs the question why have a...

    Rear view Mirror

    Thanks I do want convex so it covers more area, but as before it's just the blind spot thing

    Solas stainless 4 blades all the same?

    Have not used a Solas but with your 3 blade (B) 19 pitch (P) hitting the rev limiter you do need more pitch or more blades. A 4B 19P is equivalent to a 3B 21P Either of the above will reduce your WOT rpm but also reduce your hole shot. If you go with a 4B 17P will increase hole shot, will...

    SAE j1171 trim motor. Pressurized air in reservoir. Leg falling slowly

    In most cases it's the cylinders that need new seals. Rebuild kits can be found and easy enough to do

    8.1 GXI-J Cranks but No Start w/ Diacom Logs

    The way I read it, the motor will start and it's not stalling so the CMP is not lost. The motor does run but doesn't run very well and with both CMP and CKP codes, I would lean toward the CKP. Wrote this down from @muc posting on the J model and testing CMP [[ How to check CMP (cam position...

    Rear view Mirror

    That's looks same size as I had on my cruiser. Could put it next to center support pole, but maybe on the hard top post. My main concern is this boat already has a lot of blind spots, so adding another is the issue. Further away and higher would be better but wonder if it will give enough...

    1988 4.3 omc wont start

    Welcome Agree with Bondo Adding good gas to bad gas just gives you more bad gas. Could be the fuel filter is full of water and or crud

    Trim problems

    All good but a Solenoid has a coil and some kind of plunger that is moved. Like a starter solenoid that moves to engage gear into flywheel A relay has a coil that moves a plunger to make electrical contact to pass power to a higher current device

    2000 Mercruiser 5.0 Thunderbolt 5 Ignition idle issue.

    Welcome Sounds like the oil pressure switch but could use motor serial number Motor cranks and during this time the fuel pump runs with power coming from starter. Once motor starts connection is removed from the starter and oil pressure builds. The oil pressure switch "should" now send power...

    Volvo 2009 8.1GXI Hard Start

    Take a digital voltmeter and connect + probe on the Pos bat terminal. Connect the - probe on the starter post. Crank the motor and see how much voltage your read. Should not be more then 0.5V Can also do this with a load tester so it can give you more time to read the meter, or disconnect...

    Volvo 2009 8.1GXI Hard Start

    If Bats test good it could have a bad connection in the Bat cable it self. Sometimes the cable lug builds corrosion inside between the wire and lug

    Rear view Mirror

    Looking for a rear view mirror for the boat. Had one on the cruiser which was 4 x 8 I think and did ok. Thinking about the 2.5 x 8 but never tried one. Last thing I need is more blind spots looking forward with current boat. Could Mount off the hard top supports but not sure how much or...
