    Intermittent starting issue

    I would guess its probably the slave relay. You hear a slight click, not a louder one like coming from the starter, and no good. They go out every so often and don't cost that much. Its on top the motor and has 4 wires on it. Mercruiser part number 89-96054T 2 larger wires - Red/Purple and...

    Chrysler 105 and 125 combo Maybe

    Back in 2015 I picked up a Chrysler 105 Conqueror with a 105 hp OB. Well the OB had a cracked block so could not use it. Frank mentioned before his passing that I should look for a pre 1994 Force 120 hp and swap the cowling. In looking I found what I thought was a 140, but might just be a...

    Bilge pump float switch install

    A bilge pump should be hard wired direct to the battery thru the float switch. The switch at the helm should only be there to run it in manual mode. In the pic below the switch supplies power to the pump from the helm for manual mode. The alarm can be a light or sounding device, but not necessary

    2000 5.7 gsi problem

    If you have at the coil and unsure at the plugs, then this doesn't need to be confirmed so much. But if your unsure of the coil also, then suggest getting a remote starter switch. You can turn the key ON, then use the remote to crank over the motor. Culd also use a screw driver to jump across...

    VelvetDrive Transmission leaking fluid from dipstick

    I doubt it, and probably because it was analog and when motor was installed then didn't change/add/replace the sensors in the trans. The cooler would need to be removed and flushed out with something like diesel, then reflush once clean with Dexron There is a drain plug in the bottom of the...

    350 Mag Exhaust manifolds getting hot

    The S/N helps With open cooling you can have either 3 or 7 point drain system. The 7 point system s below uses check balls in the thermostat housing which go to the risers. These check balls slightly restrict the water flow to keep the manifolds full. If they get weak, then more water goes out...

    Need some advice on what I've got

    I would believe these are older barge navigation lights. They had a long cord to run them up to the front barge on pushers, or hang along the cable towing one Now days they use long life rechargeable ones

    what diode for running anchor light switch

    The big issue is the forward current and that's 1 amp for the diode selected. The regular incandescent 12V lamp can be more then 1 amp. If your using LED then its much less. Look at the bulbs watt rating. A 15W bulb pulls 1.25 amps. Formula P=E x I P=watts E=volts I=amps I = P/E or 15/12 =...

    Not real sure of the location you mentioned. If the water is leaking from the riser boot (position 1), then it should be warm, but should not be leaking. Suggest get some clear hose from local hardware store and put inline with the hoses. This will show where the water is going and also not...
