    Maximum trailer tongue length?

    I have not, but it must be true because the police have said it is, then that is the way it is. Suggest contacting NJ DMV or who ever does boat/trailer licensing and ask for the regulation. The reg should state what is expected/needed Thinking the trailer is like a long Tee, maybe it just...

    Can't get starboard engine to run after a bunch of work.

    Agree check power at the coil in run Also disconnect the shift interrupter switch just to rule it out if it is casing any problems. The switch should not be the issue, but disconnect it just to remove a piece out of the equation

    Volvo 8.1 nightmare

    If the VP is wired like the Merc (probably is) the pink, pink/white are ignition power and injectors are batch fired (4 at a time). Ground is applied by PCM Could be VP uses 2 different fused feed lines to power each side. Look forward to MUC input Merc type which uses all pink/white

    Wiring a 4 position switch for 12 and 24 volts - 2 battery system

    None of your diagrams will work, only one that can be used is on the left and it will only work to start the motor and run boat electronics. This setup will do what you want without a switch, but keep in mind it will drain both bats when trolling. If both are drained to far, then there is a...

    Bravo 3 gear lube leak

    There is a small hole in the center of the drive and it uses an o-ring to seal next to the exhaust port. This pic is showing the differences in years on the housing, but just note where the o-ring and oil port is. If its not leaking at the prop shafts my next thought would be the shift shaft...

    Flushing 5.0L Gi engines in wet slip with block drain hoses, is there a better way?

    The water heater on my Formula was connected the same way, just the flush doesn't look like it would work very well, but just my opinion Many use a Tee connection on the intake hose to the pump and switch then start the motor. For others to see a few pics easier
