    I fixed a sweet 65 Stang today on the roadside, quiz to follow fixed in 7 mins :)

    1973 Mercruiser 888 Shift Cable Issue

    Does anyone know the bow eye to transom length of a 1987 Baha 280 Weekender

    :welcome: to iboats Looking for a trailer to carry that heavy of a boat for 1K, anything is possible. If the trailer your looking at can handle up to a 26 foot boat, then a 28 will most likely not fit. That said the weight capacity is more important then the length. From the ones I can find...

    charging batteries while driving?

    Agree with Bondo simplest solution, your going to need some large cables (maybe 6 AWG) going from the ALT to the inverter, so just run them to straight to the batteries with an ACR. Don't forget the same size ground cable going back, and a fuse between the truck and boat (maybe 90amp). Start...

    Bravo III Reservoir Delete

    So the lube is dripping down the transom, right? Also there is an O-ring on the male side (pic below), could you tell if it was there? Edit: also did you check the other connector inline?

    1990 Bravo Transom Assembly

    Sorry, but something doesn't add up. You have slop so you want to replace the upper pin. Once the nut is removed, then the compression clamp bolt/nut is loosened both should slide right off. Once off the pin has an upper bronze bushing and a rubber seal. If the upper pin was worn then there...

    Household Electrical Wiring Question . . .

    Your not actually switching the neutral, your just using the neutral as something which can be easily seen as this is different. A 120VAC light bulb does not care which is hot and which is neutral. If all the person looking at the wiring is what is in the box where the switch is this is a way to...

    Household Electrical Wiring Question . . .

    BELAY THAT, it might not be wrong. The two blacks could be the daisy chained hot's and the white is the switch leg to the lights. If this is the case it is wired correctly, just need the tail, tail sign of the log white for the leg. It would also be better if they used wire nuts to chain them...
