When ice cold, it seems to shift ok. When it warms up, I cannot get it out of gear without shutting the engine off. In 2013 cable was replaces. It moves like butter when it does work, and it shifts smooth when engine is off.
I found a micro switch with a roller on it that rubs on some...
I have my boat tucked away for the winter in an area where water is not accessble. I only want to run it long enough to get the stabilized fuel into the carb, and to fog the engine. If I remove the impeller, can I run it for a few minutes without water flow? I would of be careful to not let...
Using win 7 with IE9, when creating a thread and pressing the post button, the browser hangs up, but it seems the post does appear by just pressing the back button. Also adding replys does the same thing. Is this an issue on my end or the fourm end?
1978 Sear Ray SRV 195 w/ MC-1:
Found both trim cylinders to be faulty one last summer, and one this summer. They will allow the drive to go up, but when trying to lower the drive the trim pump runs like it has air. After swapping it works like a champ. What inside these cylinders needs...
I am not very knowledgable at fiberglass repair, but on my boat I have blisters were the gell coat has flaked off. And a few X patterns here and there. Im sure the power washer did not help things. What is the best way to go about fixing these.
1978 Sea Ray with 165 HP inline six. Just installed a nice used (known working) trim pump. The motor & pump are nice and strong and used all last year on a rotted boat. Upon installing, I got the wiring ironed out, the motor runs when pressing down / in, but the drive requires you to stand on...
Looked at an 84' sea ray with a newer 140 engine. Oil was clear before it started, now it is a milkshake. Water was 1/4" on top of #4 piston. How can we find out if it is a head/ block / gasket problem, or a bad manifold? We need to do this without tearing the engine apart.
It was...

I am confused, the oring is rock hard if it is even an oring. I spend about an hour picking at it to no avail. But lets say I torch...
I have a boat that does not have shore power. I need to make a plug so I can use a regular extension cord to power an a/c unit.
Our marina does indeed allow this as they sell them at the fuel station for $69. I refuse to pay that amount for a simple adaptor. Any idea what I need to buy, or...

Discontinued. Anyone know why they would discontinue the best product ever invented??????
Anyways, is there another brand that I am just not seeing that compares. I left mine on the boat and off it went.......
All the coils I own require an external resistor. I would like to source one like originally used in the 1970s that did not require the addition of one. This will be used on a 77' 165hp six.
Here is a pic of it and the wiring:

Guys,
Can we speculate for a minute, I have a free drive that I used all last year, it needed topped off frequently and have a little cloudy look to the oil. Now as a result of the drive getting water in it, would that cause the upper yoke to leak oil into the bellows?
Also when an older...
Trailer has good 2 axle surge brakes that work well. Engine and drive train is basically a F-150 miniturtized.
Can this be done?
Not sure what the boat weighs.
