    Help ID aftermarket sterndrive

    Most likely will have to separate to get the vintage. If it has a bolt on Vent plate to extend over the second prop then it's real old. If it has not bolt on extension and one anode it's newer If it has 2 anodes it's the newest style Compatibility chart shows which upper/lowers will swap with each

    IOS new prop

    Opinion: this is mine others will differ, just wait The motor does not have enough power to do what you want for the load placed on it. Reducing load by off loading folks and running with less weight works. To fix you either need more HP or less pitch prop. Reducing pitch from lets say 19P...

    2008 Volvo Penta 5.0GXI-J High oil pressure

    My guess is this is minimum oil pressure. Most list pressure should be 5 psi for every 1000 rpm, so 4K should show minimum of 20 psi, VP list 26. Having 65 to 75 is good. The gauge may be a bit off, and best way to verify is remove gauge sender and install hand held mechanical gauge

    2006 Mercury Verado 200, possible pencil coil issue?

    Charger for on trailer or shore power

    No difference, choose one that meets the needs and amount of banks. If both Bats come in full charged then only need 2 bank maintenance type, maybe 10 Amp. If one Bat is low, maybe trolling , then maybe 20 to 30 Amp 2 bank. Just search on web for what is needed

    Charger for on trailer or shore power

    Once a Bat goes to low it's usually damaged and needs to be replaced. If it won't charge back up then it's gone With Bat switch off there should be no draw, if you have some then might be the ALT. Doesn't make any difference for a shore power charger, trailer or floating. If you plug in...

    2014 4.3 liter TKS bogs after running 35 knots for 45 minutes.

    Seafoam your boat u decide. If it's drawing a vacuum and u hear air then after air is sucked in it will run fine until it draws another vacuum

    2014 4.3 liter TKS bogs after running 35 knots for 45 minutes.

    Fuel issue Open the gas cap and listen for air being suck in. If you hear air then your drawing a vacuum in the vent because the vent is clogged If not hearing air, check to see if you get a squirt of gas when throttle moves. Might also be fuel pump is weak, antisiphon valve on the tank is...

    Limp mode

    Would need to check for codes. Can check by using a digital multimeter with a tone built in, or a 12V resistor LED Put meter or LED across pins E and F of the DLC connector (on top motor near ECM with a cap on it). Put paper clip or other wire across A and B. Turn key ON (do not start) and...

    If your ECM is a MEFI-4 then there is a power reduction mode that does not let rpm's go above 2500. MEFI-3 does not I'm seeing part numbers but I'm unable to determine if it's a MEFI 3 or 4 3858863 3801310 Replaced by 3860614 7749063 21242085 21242092 21242089 3832370 948211

    Volvo Penta 5.0 gxi intermittent starting issues

    If these where good then the motor would start, something is not present. Most likely it's an electrical issue, loosing spark or injector firing. You have a Flat distributor cap, has it been replaced? When cranking do the fuel pumps run? Is there 12V on the pink wire of the coil?

    VP 4.3GS Fuel Delivery Problem?

    Putting good gas in bad gas just makes more bad gas. Doing 1/2 tank replacement a couple times will make the gas not so bad and enough should be fine Pressure going from 4 psi to zero after replacing gas filter is weird, maybe the gauge. Spec list 4.9 to 8.5 psi at idle. Have you checked the...
