    New Guy and Maybe a New Boat

    Opinion. other will vary Like all boats, the motor is what makes it, if it doesn't run, nobody wants it. I'm seeing 260 hours on the speedometer instead of the 134 being listed. Its on a dealer lot and they were posting many boats and get the postings mixed up. The 260 looks better then the...

    Battery hooked up backwards. No life! Help!

    Just to be clear of what I'm talking about, its NOT the purple wire, it is the Red/Purple (A red wire with a Purple stripe). The Red/Purple feeds 12V to the key switch. When the key is turned to ON, it passes the 12V to the purple wire. So the purple wire will not have 12V unless the...

    2006 Mercury optimax 150 no power to ignition or fuel pump

    In most cases (not an OB guy) the kill switch keeps 12V from going to energize circuits. For Mercury/Mercruiser this is the purple wire. Power goes to the key switch, then from the ON or Ignition side (purple wire) it goes to the kill switch, then to the helm gauges and the motor. Now there...

    Loss of power

    Howdy Would be kind of helpful if we knew what motor you have. The boat type doesn't matter with this issue. Check the 90 amp fuse on top the starter terminal, if its there

    4.3L electric fuel pump

    Howdy When key is turned to ON, power is supplied to the purple wires. Note in the pic that the purple goes to item 5 which is the oil pressure switch. If key is just turned on and the motor is not running, the switch will be open. So no power is being applied to the pump (item 6). When key...

    Crusader Intake

    Being a 1986 and a 4 barrel you could use the Edelbrock 2504, with intake gasket 7201, which were used on spread bores and Quadrajets http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/mc/manifolds/marine.shtml If you search for "edelbrock 2504" several will come up and appears the cost is $416.69...

    1992 Camry Electrical Issue

    Probably should sell the car for junk, but hate giving up on something. Try to keep story short Bought car from a friend for $800 for my grandson (GS), and found the battery was dead after sitting for a few days. I put a new battery in and find that the ALT will charge and then stop, with no...

    Diverence between bell housings Bravo

    Yes it is the newer housing and keeps the gimbal bolt/nuts from coming in contact with the bell housing in full up position. Adjusting the trim limit will not stop contact if it were to happen. In most all cases this will not be an issue. Bring drive full up once installed to see if there is...

    Dog water ramp for boat

    Have been using a Paws Aboard for many years. It works great for all the dogs we have had. Even works when tied up for other dogs coming to visit. I modified it for easier attachment and removal on the boarding ladder. As others mentioned it does take up quite a bit of room, but is light...

    building my own anchor pulpit

    Placing a 1 inch diameter washer in an area displaces the load over a 1 inch circle. So the 1 inch spot will not be ripped out easier then a 1/2 inch spot. This is not the same if the entire area is covered by the entire plate. The plate can be form fitted or another item can be trimmed to...

    Private Bank Stock

    I understand stock but don't fully understand private stock, much less private bank stock (BS). Mom has 100 shares of BS in her IRA. Bought it years ago for $39 and they say its worth $70. The issue is it doesn't (according to bank folks) go thru the SEC so if it sells for less the $70 it...

    Bought a 1998 Sea Ray Sundancer 270 wide beam with rot...

    I would use the oscillating saw before a grinder and would go clear to the skin. The transom must be flat and perpendicular to within 1/8 or 3mm. If it does not meet these specs then there could be problems aligning the motor. I would also remove the stringer skin glass and redo them when the...

    RPM drops intermittently at high RPMs. Merc 4.3L

    The connection is made inside the harness, so there is only one connection at the coil. Need to get behind the helm and remove gray wire off tach. Is this grease or something else inside the coil tower?
