    2002 Mercury 115 4-stroke Trim Issue?

    I have a 2002 Mercury 115 4-stroke. Over the weekend I was out for a family cruise at the lake, I was at about 3500 RPM and was trimming out to get the bow up a little in the heavy chop. When I reached full trim the motor dropped the RPMS down to almost idle. Once I let off the trim button the...

    Questions on charging 24v system

    I'm just getting up and running with my new 24v trolling motor. I plan on adding an on board charger eventually (have to recover from $700 trolling motor, batteries, wires, and plugs first), but my most pressing question is do I have to charge each battery individually or can I charge them just...

    New Alternator Question

    I am installing a new Delco &SI alternator on a 454 MArine Power inboard. The old alternator had a orange power wire from the battery and a purple wire from the relay. This new alternator has S and I pins on one harness, a P terminal, and the battery terminal. Any ideas on how to make this work?

    Low Voltage At Fuel Pump

    I'm restoring a Blackfin with a 454 Marine Power inboard. I have done all the routine maintenance for winterization and when I tried to start her up she would not start. I have traced the culprit to be the fuel pump (no gas to carb). It is an electric fuel pump that pumps great with 12 volts...

    Gas Tank Ventilation

    I'm restoring a 25' Blackfin Combi. I am currently installing two new 61 gallon tanks. The tanks were built accoding to blueprints of the boat, but I did not see the original tanks that came out of the boat because I boat her as a "project" boat. It seems to me that the tanks would need some...

    rewiring and gauges recommendations?

    I'm restoring a 25' Blackfin Combi with a 454 inboard (just purchased 2 weeks ago). The wiring is a mess with splices and loose connections everywhere. I am planning to do a complete rewire, but I'm unsure of whether to replace/ update gauges. Has anyone had experience with replacing gauges? Is...
