    Bravo 1 transom u bolt size

    I would suggest getting the OEM bolt because the threads are formed and not cut which makes it stronger. The issue with the OEM bolt is its really to small, but that is the size that fits. The bolt is torqued to 53 ft lb and that is the limit of the bolt. Here is a good read...

    QSD 4.2 + bravo = toast?

    The B3 has been installed on heavy cruisers for some time. Will agree they are not as strong as the Knorad but the Bravo comes in 3 versions (standard, X and XR). My guess is yours would have a B3X. The change in the Bravo is all done in the upper section. Max HP is rated as 525 but the...

    Kill switch help

    1) forget the purple wire unless YOU figure out where its going and let us know 2) As racer said and I did in post 5, ground the blk/yel and motor dies My guess from your pic, is the kill switch connects the 2 dark colored wires (not the purple) together when lanyard is pulled

    Starting an engine that's been sitting...

    Your in the non-repair OB section Take a new fuel filter with ya and pour contents of the old filter into clear container. If its clear and not yellow, refill new filter and give it a run. There is no need IMO to put E0 gas into a tank with E10, and then add seafoam (more crud). If you want...

    Kill switch help

    Agree, mentioned that previous My comment is from your comment about PO hacking the wiring, and the pic showing some tape. If the purple is original then I have nothing because I don't see how it would work on a kill switch. Maybe tracing where it goes may provide some insight

    Volvo Penta GXi-E Low Power and 2 DTCs

    Clocking the HVS (not hsv) can be done in a couple ways. 1) make sure cylinder 1 is at TDC and drop it in as shown 2) Other is make the device in the PDF file and clock it that way (starts on page 14)

    Kill switch help

    Looks like wiring isn't original and maybe a purple wire was used because that was just the color the PO had. Can you trace where the purple goes to?

    Kill switch help

    I'm not finding a purple wire connection with a 2 cycle kill switch. Find it with the Tach lead, sorry I'm unable to clarify. Found other threads with 3 wires but they where blk/yel and black only. I would not connect a purple to a ground, mainly because purple has always been 12V power...

    Tube Part Number??

    As always its best to provide as much info of what your working on. Its in the Merc section and looks like a Merc housing, and assume its a Alpha and could be a MR but might be a Gen 2 With that, I don't know of Merc using a brass tube in that area, so my guess is its the brass end of the...

    Crank no start 4.3, wiring diagram?

    S/N still not come up, oh well. I think yours should be similar to the GXI with multi port injection. Does it have the flat style distributor cap? When motor is cranking can you see at least 300 rpm on the tach? There is at least 2 if not 3 relays relays (square type) on the motor. If only...

    Crank no start 4.3, wiring diagram?

    There is a digit missing from the serial number I think My guess is the auction lied The power should not go away. Power is supplied by the ignition relay and should stay ON. Do you hear the fuel pump turn ON for a few seconds when key id turned to ON? Can you get the motor scanned for codes?

    No electric getting to engine

    Yes there should be a main fuse, and might be a in line type. Might also be the key switch or bad connection. Use a voltmeter and see if 12V is at the key, and when turned to start I have a 131 diagram but its hard to read and the 165 and 170 is easier which is attached
