    Trim will go down not up IO Volvo Penta

    Will it go up if the trailer button is pressed? If not, look for the Blue/White wire on the relays. Need 12V on the Blu/Wht wires when up is pressed. Can swap the relays to see if the problem moves to down If it does go up with trailer button, then its the limit switch on the drive

    Trim and tilt problems on 5.0L

    Most likely the piston seal inside the cylinder is leaking slightly. Replace the internal seal and it will be fine. Don't know about the noise, but check for something binding, U joints need grease (but if they were dry there should be vibrations)

    Unless you need body parts there is no reason to stay away from any boat. The motor is still made and that's what counts.

    454 MAG Hard Start When Warm

    That would cause it to use more fuel due to keeping the fuel pressure at max even at idle. The port on the Plenum has a very small hole in it. So it should not effect starting when warm so much Start motor and place in base timing mode. To do this need to put the jumper between pins A and B...

    Can i swap harnesses chrysler 85 to force 85

    If your asking can you change the harness from one to another it is yes with a caveat, so long as the ignition system goes with the harness. If donor motor harness is points ignition, then points goes with harness If donor motor harness is electronic ignition then Elect Ign goes with harness
