I do not have shore power at our dock at Lake Erie. I do understand the differences between the battery chemistry’s and possible dangers, that is why I have the Victron Orion dc to dc charger.
This is a 125ah deep cycle battery to power the stereo system while at the sandbar only. It is...
I was replacing my 2nd battery today to a 125ah lithium. I have a 2007 Chaparral Sunesta 214 and it’s not the easiest to get down there while leaning over the lifted seat to get at. The boat was off, while I was tightening the positive connection to the battery I had my right bicep laying...
I'm using the "stock' power valve that came with the volvo penta rebuild kit. Found information showing it's an 8.5 for 5.0GL D/E 500 cfm 2300 2 barrel. Which going off Holley's information and the fact I idle at 17hg vacuum, 8.5 should be correct.
I replaced spark plugs this year with...
Funny, I pulled about a quart out last year after shop winterized it. I did the same thing in the driveway on the trailer when I winterized last year. I put in the recommended 6 qts without thinking about left over in the drain pan. I took out at least a quart a couple of weeks ago and that...

I verified tach with engine timing light, show’s rpm’s and speed has always been with gps. The analog tach is pretty damn close to what the timing light is showing. This is a Holley 2 barrel. I agree the 15x15 should be over 5k rpm compared to previous 14.5x19. I wouldn’t say the boat seems...
Ok so it’s been a busy spring and summer of trouble shooting this damn thing with no success. I have done the following since spring and still can’t get above 4,000 rpm at 30 mph less then 1/2 tank of gas, trim makes no change to rpm. This is worse then last years performance. I replaced coil...
Hello,
Im a long time follower and reader just decided to run this by the experts. I have a 2007 chaparral sunesta 214, Volvo penta 5.0 gl-h that we bought last year with no problems.
Last winter I dropped it off to winterize, tune up and replace gimbal bearing. When I picked it up they put new...
