    Spider Cracks Repair

    I am looking for advice on how to repair this spider cracking on my Moomba. Is it best to dremel out the cracks and fill with matching gelcoat, fill with a fairing compound and gelcoat over, etc. I'm open to suggestions, I have watched several videos and I have seen quite a few repairing the...

    Repairing Diamond Battery Locker Panel on 08 Regal 2200

    Hello! I'm looking into some insight on what I should use to patch these holes on my battery locker panel on my Regal. I have already sourced the pattern from Gibco and the correct gelcoat from Spectrum. My only issue is what epoxy/filler I should use to fill the holes so that I can re-gelcoat...

    XDP Conversion 2006 Four Winns 278 VISTA

    Can anyone explain if there is a major difference between the DPS-A, DPS-B, and DPS-B1? I'm looking to get one of these drives in the 1.95 gear ratio to convert from the XDP drive I currently have. I already have a transom assembly with the inner plate so any of these drives can bolt up. I...

    XDP Conversion to OceanX

    I see what you are saying, that I can keep the 2.14 ratio drive and not modify it to a 1.95 and upgrade prop size from F4 to an F5? It will likely run as much as the gear change as they run $1300 online for a new gear set plus install. New Props will be in about the same price range. Now if...

    XDP Conversion to OceanX

    Likely what I will do is change the gear set to a 1.95 ratio. I will keep the standard prop size that is coming on the Ocean X outdrive I have coming in.

    XDP Conversion to OceanX

    I'm looking for an Ocean X Transom Shield assembly with the inner plate along with a 1.95 Ocean X Outdrive. Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as where there may be used ones for sale? I do have an Ocean X outdrive however it is the 2.14 ratio and I need the 1.95 for a 5.7...

    Volvo Penta 4.3 Gi Conversion to 4.3 GL

    Just had the chance to check the issue out, diodes are good. It looks like the problem is in the actual engine harness plug itself. If you turn the plug when it plugged in to the right the boat will start if you have someone turn the key. Any idea of how I can fix the plug by splicing it in with...

    Volvo Penta 4.3 Gi Conversion to 4.3 GL

    It's been raining in GA last couple days and will continue so I will check once I get a chance. It definitely is a more simple system than the early Gi engines... The GXIs have parts which are not hard to source at all, those and the GLs are far easier to work on.

    Volvo Penta 4.3 Gi Conversion to 4.3 GL

    I will check tomorrow and get back to you, fairly old 4.3GL. Fairly Certain its a GL-A. I am getting 12V at the Ignition and the Kill Switch when I last checked it. For the relay grounds are you talking about the pins that go into the relay holder or the grounds on the solenoids?

    Volvo Penta 4.3 Gi Conversion to 4.3 GL

    I converted the engine to a Carbureted version including the wiring harness from a 4.3 GL. Even though the harness from the Carbureted version plugs up to the original plug on the boat side it will not work? I put in a 4.3GL drop in engine. Most of the fuel system components looked trashed on...

    Volvo Penta 4.3 Gi Conversion to 4.3 GL

    Has anyone converted an originally Fuel Injected/TBI engine to a carbureted version? Wiring Harness connection is the same for the Gi and GL on my Chris Craft however I cannot even crank the engine with the key. The kill switch is new, ignition is new, all the relays on the engine have been...

    Mercruiser 5.0/5.7 EFI Timing

    Engine Serial Number is 0M015812. 8* ATDC or BTDC? Base timing is standard across all 5.0/5.7 for EFI, FI, and Carb'd correct?

    Mercruiser 5.0/5.7 EFI Timing

    I am looking to set my 5.0 EFI into time, I am not sure if it is the same as for the 5.0 Carb'd version or not... Please advise if you have a manual or timing specs for the 5.0 EFI/5.7 EFI engine.

    2005 Volvo Penta 3.0 GL Dies Out at Idle/Running Rough

    I already rebuilt the carb, risers and manifold are solid. It's a low hour fresh water boat. It looks like timing was off!

    Chris Craft Volvo Penta 4.3 Ignition does not turn engine over

    I only checked the purple on the motor side, not at the dash side. I did not check the voltage at the actual kill switch itself. My gauges are operational, not sure if gouges was referring to gauges instead.

    Chris Craft Volvo Penta 4.3 Ignition does not turn engine over

    4.3 GL-A, Carbureted engine. Turning the key in the ignition does nothing at all. Are you thinking its the neutral safety switch causing my issue? The wiring does not have any breaks or splits in it. The purple wire that comes from the kill switch has 12.5 volts. Battery of course is brand...

    Chris Craft Volvo Penta 4.3 Ignition does not turn engine over

    I'm having issues with getting my ignition to start my engine... I have already replaced the ignition switch, kill switch, and a new starter relay... I am still having issues with the engine not turning over. I am getting power to all my accessories along with the gauges. If I run a remote...
