Hi, This is the third engine that doesn't have a plate or any other ID on it that I have worked on the past year. This motor runs perfect one day then not the next. Heres what I mean runs at 5800 rpms and the boat runs great. the next time I use it runs 3000 rpms max and can't get out of it...

Hey guys my friend has a 1986 Searay 278 350 hp that he has problems getting to come up on plane. I would like to know what prop was the factory prop for this type boat. And what type props would be good to use. Top speed isn't a factor cruise is and getting out of the hole is! I don't know...

Hi I removed a VRO Pump from a 1990 70 hp rude. Rather than pluging the oil hose I replaced the vro pump with a standard fuel pump. Question is does this pump need to be rigid or can it just hang on the 3 fuel lines? there wasn't any holes to mount it.<br />steve
Hi, I am trying to replace the trim motor and I haven't done one this new. I can see how to do it, but can't seem to be able to drive the lower pin out . It won't budge. Top one came out fine. Why did they change from the old 4 bolts they were so easy to remove? I have try to heat it as well.Any...
Hi I would like to know what way I can check a rectifier with a standard meter. How many volts should I have across the wires? I am trouble shooting a charging problem and have got down to the rectifier. I thought I had a spare but it turns out to have 3 yellow wires and 1 red, while the one I...
Hi I have asked this before and forgot. I think the answer was to connect it to any yellow wire at the terminal strip? Isn't there a wire that runs in the harness to the key switch, or to the throttle. I couldn't find a ref. in the wire diagram for that year motor.<br />steve
