    1995 Mercruiser 4.3 wiring nightmare

    Applying for title

    I'm trying to get a title for a '75 Starcraft and I'm not having much luck. The boat is located in Florida and was last registered in Minnesota in '08.

    Volvo Penta AQ130A / 100 outdrive slips out of gear

    Hi, all! I just picked up an immaculate 1970 Pere Marquette 1700 with a Volvo Penta AQ130A engine and Model 100 outdrive. The thing runs like a champ, but on my second trip out I had 5 people in the boat and while pushing it up to cruising speed (4500-4700 RPM) the engine suddenly unloaded and...
