    280 AQ lift intermittant operation

    Lift wouldn't raise the outdrive last time at the lake. Cleaned all connections and it started to work but then quit again. It's about half way up right now. Relays click for both up and down switch position. Checked voltage at the motor leads (2 wire motor), and no voltage with switch in either...

    Aq130c carb help

    Re: Aq130c carb help That's the first time that I've seen a fuel pump for an AQ130 with a diaphragm rupture line connection. Wondering where you got that fuel pump and if it's actually for the AQ130C. In any case, the carbs for the AQ 130 don't have fittings for the tube, although some of the...

    Is that dynamite? Holy frick! Gold Rush is back.

    This season they're looking at a South American mining site. Much different type of gold mining that what they've done the last few seasons. Was funny seeing Todd pointing at several plastic bags full of dynamite deep inside a gold mine. Great entertainment if you like this sort of thing. Is...

    doubleclick.net takes over iboats

    I have doubleclick.net blocked in my IE privacy settings and popup ads are blocked. However, iboats seems to be able to override these settings. This is the only site where this happens. I've run malwarebytes, ad-aware, and windows defender, and they don't show anything. Any recommendations?

    Gas odor in bow of boat

    For the past few seasons, have gotten a whiff of gas once in awhile, when starting out the day on the lake, usually with a full gas tank. I tow it to the lake uncovered and it's about an hour trip, so that should have taken care of any fumes from sitting with the cover on. Getting it ready for...

    280 outdrive lift slowing down

    Noticed last fall that the lift motor was really slowing down once the foot actually contacted the outdrive. It's been a gradual decrease. Yesterday, after de-winterizing, noticed that the amount of current it was drawing, actually slowed the engine down. I'll go ahead and clean all...

    where to get rough service bulbs

    Now that we can't buy rough service bulbs, what do we do about droplights? In the past, I've bought rough service bulbs that have a protective coating to protect the glass from shattering and going all over the place when they break. The compact fluorescent bulbs don't have that and i'm hearing...

    Need help with volvo 130D. Water in oil and thermostat question.

    Re: Need help with volvo 130D. Water in oil and thermostat question. You'll need to have a thermostat in that engine. The way the water flow works, it'll just short circuit without one. You won't like the price but it is what it is!

    Engine occasionally revs when under load

    AQ130D w/ AQ280 outdrive. While headed back in last weekend, I noticed that the engine would all of a sudden rev up a few hundred RPM and then go back to our cruise RPM of about 4200. In the course of 10 minutes, it did this two or three times. The wind coming up the canyon at our backs was...

    Re: oil in bellows on penta 270 Travisherl, Here's a schematic of the gearbox: Many people are referring to the o-ring shown as Ref #24. That o-ring is installed into a grove on a thick washer (Ref# 23). Sometimes that o-ring will deteriorate and cause a leak. edit; thought I'd add a liittle...

    Sudden drop in gas mileage

    My 96' Ford F250 with the 460 isn't going to win any environmental awards for gas mileage but it just got worse all of a sudden. Was getting 10-12 mpg with or without towing anything. Then this weekend, it dropped to 7-8 mpg. The triuck doesn't get used often and can easily sit for a month or...

    GMC trucks made in Mexico?

    Was talking to a friend about his new GMC Silverado and mentioned that there used to be a huge GM assembly plant in Oshawa Ontario. Asked if his was made in Canada so he opened the door to look at the tag and it says "Made in Mexico". I was shocked and didn't know what to say. Am I that far out...
