    trim button conversion

    Should be easy enough to change the wiring. The issue I'm running into is only able to find 1987 and up wiring. Now if your trim motor has only two wires on it this will work. http://www.maxrules.com/graphics/omc/wiring/TnTwiring.gif

    Winerizing 4.3l volvo penta

    4.3L MerCruiser Alpha - Starboard Riser 100 degrees hotter than Port Riser

    One side will always be hotter then the other, its just the way water flows, its always to the path of least resistance. If you didn't have the spacer in there I would lean a bit more to inspection of the manifold but right now I lean more to the Thermostat housing. The exhaust you have is the...

    Winerizing 4.3l volvo penta

    The issue is your pics are to large. Need to set camera for less resolution, or use photbucket, or resize them. Removing the hoses off the exhaust will take care of them, if they don't have plugs on the hose elbows. The block drains do need to be removed, one on each side and they do need to...

    4.3 not running like it should...where to start?

    The vacuum hose goes to the PCV valve on the valve cover. With the hose disconnected it gives the motor a large vacuum leak. ​ The timing light you have needs to have an inductive pickup. The pickup will have a clip of sorts which goes over the number 1 spark plug wire. Connect the other...

    Gel coat or paint?

    You can brush or roll gelcoat on but can not spray using a hvlp, you need a dump gun and a compressor to put out more air then a pancake.

    Looking at Formula with bravo drives...No impeller in drive??

    It's actually easier to replace, that is IF you can get to it. I have to remove the alternator, oil lube bottle and hang upside down, a 31PC should have more room then I do.

Also note that 1-3-5-7 are on the left bank, and 2-4-6-8 are on the right bank. Valve alignment on the other side is...

    Need a high torque starter

    Going to be going thru a bunch of stuff this winter and one of the items is the starter. Did all the cable checks, both ends and replaced the starter battery just in case, no change. Only thing not done is replace or bypass the battery switch, and that to is on the list. In any case I think...
