    8.1 gx-i hitting rev limiter

    Over the winter I had my Perfect Pass servo removed from the throttle body. Gauge in the dash remains. Took the boat out Saturday for a quick spin and now at WOT it seems to be hitting the rev limiter. Could the throttle cable adjustment do this? anything else that I should look for to see...

    I used a dab of grease on the 2nd cyl to hold them, and that worked. But interested if you can dig up your technique!

    trim cylinder issue

    Zoomed in on my pic and I see one line with one and one without. So assuming each line gets one (4 total) and five star sent two extras?

    trim cylinder issue

    I just got my kit from five star. It includes six very small o-rings, and my teardown did not find any of these. Any ideas where these might go? DP-SM. Five star kit fsm0007. Thx

    trim cylinder issue

    Would a pin spanner used to chuck an angle grinder work on the trim cylinder? Seems to be the right size, just not sure how much torque it has to hold to bust the end caps free

    trim cylinder issue

    Thank you very much! I'm quite sure the rebuild will be way cheaper than the local cobalt shop asking for 5k to replace the pump and both cylinders!

    trim cylinder issue

    Apologies for resurrecting this one but having a similar issue with my VP outdrive; holds trim on the trailer just fine, but under load the prop thrust pushes her right back down. Local shop said they couldn't find any leaks, but I can assure you that the outdrive will get pushed down. No oil...

    VP 8.1 GX-i running like crap

    Last year I was getting water in the bilge. Local Cobalt dealer traced it back to outdrive, and in order to repair the leak they pulled the drive and engine. When they gave me the boat back I dunked it immediately and it ran so rough, stalled, and would not even come close to planing. I took it...
