    I need a below waterline sealant that is not 5200

    From what I have found is that 5200 is not for below the water line, 4000 is.

    Water Temperature Gauge Not working

    Check you have 12V (purple wire) with ignition ON. If you have 12V then ground the wire at the temp sender and see if the gauge pigs to hot. If it does not peg, try grounding the wire going to the sender (Tan color), if it pegs its the sender or wire. If it does not peg with either then its...

    gimble ring...replace or repair?

    Haven't delt with them but would say what they are doing is not complicated for a CNC machine. That said have you checked torque on the pin bolts and items 18, 19 and 20 in the pic below?

    battery isolator, good idea?

    I did what your discussing and has been on my Rinker since it has been a year old, have had no issues. I also installed a 2-bank battery charger Agree an ACR does not have the .7V voltage drop and can be connected as such and can be installed with or without a battery charger. An ACR also...

    Dual Battery

    To recharge both batteries from the engine alternator you will need an ACR, and Isolator or a battery switch that has a micro switch to disconnect the ALT when switching. If you leave the switch on "Both" while using your trolling motor your draining both batteries. If you put it on the second...

    What is this pump mounted to transom? Possible cause of LEAK?

    My thought is the PO wanted to have a larger bilge pump on board for what ever reason. The larger pump would not fit under the pan on the engine so they mounted it to the transom. My reasoning for this is because of the hose used which is the typical inexpensive pump hose. Bilge pumps will...

    Claw anchor for my 33 foot boat. . .

    Looks like you have what many call a Bruce anchor (I think) It should hold and I think mine is a 20 or 22 (will go check if you like) and I'm 11K. My anchor hold very well in slate bottoms, rocks, tree stumps and such. Holds pretty well in mud and sand but if wind kicks up it can start...

    If 2 to 3 inches are missing here I would suggest getting it fixed. This keeps the prop from sucking air

    Rear Pin Part number

    Guess its back to interpretation as the pointy end or something like that. Your first post you said aft end of the cylinders, so this is how I understood it. Its all good glad you have the right part number

    battery switch

    You have a battery which is fully charged and if you put the drained battery in parallel with it the good battery voltage starts dropping by the weak/drained battery. Instead of having 12V to start your motor you now may have 9 or 10V depending on the state of the weak battery. Switches are...

    Mercruiser 5.7 MPI Horzin still overheating ..... ARGH!

    One manifold can be a bit hotter then the other but not that much. Pulling the hose off and seeing the water spit out with air is not correct. What check valve are you referring to? I don't see a check valve in your system. Look at BtDoc pic and this one and see if you can identify what your...

    Delco est conversion issues

    My first thought is your module is bad, wouldn't be the first time. The EST system is very good but many have had bad modules before. In most cases if you call the place where you purchased it they will take it back and have it checked and if bad will replace. I'm sure you know this but the...

    battery switch

    Here is an examples which could be happening Now with a battery charger it could be just going to the one battery. As others have mentioned need to trace the wires. There are several other configurations which could be designed. 2-bank w/ ACR 2-bank w isolator 2-bank w/ either the above and...

    Idle Air Control Valve problem

    Lets start with checking grounds, follow harness and make sure grounds are clean and tight. Check vacuum hoses, not sure if your MAP is bolted to the intake or has a hose on it. Take the Throttle position connector off and make sure contacts are clean. Don't know if you have a MEFI 2 or 3 but...
