    Drive on boat trailer conversion

    Will be a tad harder because the bunks are not that long. Making them wider would help center as it comes on. Could make a couple of supports in the shape of a V to keep it centered closer to the bow. With most (not all) bunk trailers, the keel rollers don't touch except when the boat is...

    Drive on boat trailer conversion

    Welcome This subject can get touchy with the actual drive on part. Hope it doesn't but to your question; yes and roller trailer can be change to bunks. The bunks can also be winched on, but at least you don't have to worry about it rolling back off

    Extra parts got my 1974 135hp back on the water

    Just getting into the Chy OB but condenser's have always helped points to last in everything else, wonder why they say no in this motor?

    Little known salt water impeller housing

    Thanks for the post I'm in fresh so guessing I don't need, but heavier duty sounds good. My comment is; you said the impeller is five blade (not 6 like regular). Guessing when the impeller needs replacing, can it be found easy enough

    Volvo Penta wiring change

    Correct, you don't The common should go to the pump The wire that is hot when key is on, should go to the Normally Open (NO) side (the Purple wire) The side that goes hot when cranking, should go to the Normally Closed (NC). If the fuel pump is on the correct place on the switch, then swap the...

    Model 1408H2D SN 1398 YR 1982 New to me motor, and taking a 125 motor and mounting on the 140 leg Drained the lube and it looks good. Want to replace the water pump and anything else that would be advised. I'm guessing there is no need to remove the gear housing cover, unless something is...

    Volvo Penta wiring change

    Aq271c Engine wont rev past 2000rpm

    Never have understood the numbering on VP props My thought is maybe its over propped if the compression is ok (150 psi). If compression is low, then its just a tired motor If the fuel is old (more then 1 year), this will reduce power if its E10

    02 4.3l carb strange fuel problem

    Can also stick a piece of gas hose into a 5 gal gas can and run it that way. If it runs good on the can then the problem is the tank, pickup tube or valve
