    1997 5.7L thunderbolt ignition. Slow crank

    Oh, I misunderstood you. Thought you meant that if he went vortec would need an electric pump. Yeah, my 2001 4.3 doesn't have a port either. What would drive the pump? Assuming the cams changed...

    Interesting. Thought there were AI responses and bad information, but didn't think it was a bot.

    Constant drain of 1 of 2 batteries

    Ok, so no switch. You have the 2 batteries wired in parallel, with no separate house/boat batteries, but only 1 is draining? That doesn't make sense. Or do you have 2 completely separate systems for house/boat and only 1 is draining? Assuming scenario #2. Disconnect the neg (how many wires?)...

    Water pump rebuild after 11 years and 600 hours

    Idk, nothing on either of those plates look like it would keep the impeller from sealing reasonably well. What would be the catastrophic failure that you'd worry about?

    Need help with steering cable.

    I just bought some NOS teleflex 8 and 10' cables on eBay for less than the new Chinese Amazon prices. EDIT: NVM thought we were talking about control cables. Worth a look though EDIT 2: 6 and 8' options on eBay, kits and solo cables

    Can't sync my 2003 25 hp 2 stroke...

    So the problem was in fact cable travel, but due to stupid cause. Side mounted controls, and the throttle lever hit the helm at WOT. Wasn't obvious since it went almost all the way. After fixing that I was able to adjust the cable to WOT, and there was still enough travel now to preload lever D...

    Artificial Intelligence

    Yes, but you can use +/- and get the desired behavior, right? Just can't use actual boolean operators?

    Drain gas tank to tell where empty is.

    One of the many things that I've considered doing is to just splice in a rheostat so that I can in fact fine tune the fuel gauge. I don't rely on it at all though...I track how far I've gone every time I fill up, I get about 4 mpg on a 27 gal tank, never go farther than 80 miles before refueling.

    You bend the arm, if you're feeling frisky you can change the float position.
