    Volvo SX-M Trim problem. pump, or motor?

    We were out last weekend and in the middle of the day (after trimming up 3/4 and spending about 2 hours at the sandbar) we filled the tubes and set out for some tubing.

    Trim Guage intermittent

    My factory trim guage occasionally 'sticks' and does not move when I move the outdrive. This can last for some time and happens at least once every trip. Any suggestions for what to check? I have a 2002 Volvo-Penta SX-M outdrive. Thanx in advance! Michael

    Fuel Smell in Ski Storage

    If I leave the ski storage door closed on my deckboat while parked in the garage it smells of fuel. The fuel cell appears to be in the compartment aft of the ski storage. I can touch the plastic tank by sticking my finger into the aft drainhole in the ski storage compartment. Is this...

    'Sloppy' Steering

    Hello all, This is my first (of probably many) posts. It envolves the steering on our recently purchased 2003 Starcraft Aurora 2000 Deckboat. When idle the steering wheel is quite sluggish to turn and has about 2" of 'slop'. Once the boat is on plane the steering does get easier as one would...
