Setting lash on upper gearset on a b3x S/N 2A335953. Drive was used w/83 hours, changing from 2.00 to 2.20 (23/30)-new gearset and bearings, but reused thrust bearings/race. I set pinion depth with the tool and it's to spec- went to adjust lash and got 0.019 on both to and bottom. Top race...

okay, I had boats growing up, and I am pretty handy with a set of wrenches so when I decided to get back into boating, I figured that my starter boat could be a fixer-upper, and that was okay. 2 1/2 years ago I bought a 1983 Galaxy 205 for 600 bucks from boat angel on EBAY. Turned out that the...
okay, I have a boat with a LOT of demons I have removed, but every time I slay one, and have a good day there is another demon. I had a mallory points which some bastard converted badly, which I removed and replaced with an EST-read my posts I thought it was the fuel so I went the long way...
OKAY back at my tub-is there a fuse in the ignition between the switch and the assist solenoid? I have power in and out of the ignition key switch "s" works fine-get 12v there when I turn the key-jumped it around the switch-nothing. I figured that it was the assist solenoid, so I went over to...
I have been thru HELL with this boat-just check my other posts, so I have identified the module as my demon (a new EST kit came with a module that was bad). I swapped it for a module I had and BLAMO it runs and lives for more than 30 seconds. The module I had was from a 1991 truck, but I...
okay I had a mallory distributor and it made me mad so it had to go. I upgraded to an EST and it ran GREAT, until it didnt. I ran it with the white jumper on the timing shunt still connected and I suspect that is where my demon spawned from. I am wondering if that would cause the module to...

I have a 1989 2150 capri bowrider with a merc 305-230HP and a cobra outdrive. I cant get the ignition key to do anything. The gauges do not come to life, no backlight on the gauges, the engine wont crank. I tested for voltage with the key on at the dead man/drunk overboard switch and I have...
