    Trailer brake lights on but brake pedal not depressed.

    Not 100% sure I understand the 1st post. 1. You say only time your trailer turn signals will work is when your headlight switch is in "auto", correct? 2. You are doing this testing during the day (running lights off) ? If that is the case, then the turns should work in the " #1 OFF" position...

    Tb IV intermittent spark ?$#???

    are your coils the 12v ones or the ones that require an external ballast (reduced voltage)? My TB5 is a 12v coil

    What the heck is this engine? 1000 SC

    LOL. If the price was right on the toon, I would buy it just to pull that 1000SC out to put it on a display stand and replace it with a 7.4 / 454 .

    or bad exhaust manifold leaking back past exhaust valves.

    Steering pin replacement

    Don't forget the cheaper ones are usually lower grade knock offs from overseas with inferior grade of S/S and less that perfect machining specs / tolerances and dimensions. May not have problems w/ the cheapo one, but then again, it may fail pretty quickly. The S/S grade (toughness and...

    Tb IV intermittent spark ?$#???

    Did you follow the Mercruiser TSB troubleshooting I sent in post # 14? Distributor module problem? coil problem?

    Steering pin replacement

    I would venture to say that pin is junk / a paperweight. You can clean it all you want, but it will still be junk. The bushing / seal surface is all pitted and will leak water into bushing area. This is obvious from the pictures. Get a good, high quality S/S one, new seals and new bushings and...

    Thinking about converting surge brakes to electric - Tri-Axle Trailer

    I did the conversion to EoH this past spring on my tandem axle trailer w/ disc brakes. Possibly the best conversion I ever made on a trailer, aside from discs. Trailer will actually slow the truck down if the gain is turned up a tad. Didn't replace the surge coupler, just modified it. And no...

    Trim pump hoses replaced

    Having no idea what drive you have, all I can suggest is the manual. If you specify what drive you have, then possibly some solid info, instead os guessing, would come forth. Possibly even a copy of the appropriate manual would be available. PS: The service manual for the drive unit has all...

    Exhaust comes out around the bellows, but the bellows appear to be ok...... Whats up w/ that?

    Is it the corrugated bellows or the smooth exhaust tube? Realistically neither is needed to operate the boat. The tube only connects to the transom assy and nothing to the drive unit. The bellows (longer and bendy) connects to both.

    No compression with rocker arms torqued

    If you overheated, don't be surprised the thermostat will need replacing. Stats often fail / go wonky after an overheat

    ^^^^ Have absolutely no idea what is being said in that post.

    No compression with rocker arms torqued

    It is great when that "tada" moment hits, isn't it. Non adjustable valve train should not be in these engines. A changed head gasket can throw them off. Just a way for the factory to save $3.00 in assembly labor.

    Hopkins 4 pin tester

    1st question, what kind of truck is it? Each type of truck has it's own quirks, so need to know that. It sounds like your truck is the problem. Can be multiple fuses going to that connector plus, the 12V outputs to the connector could be controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM) There is...

    Trim Tilt 3 toggle control wiring.

    Need to hit the middle and top buttons at same time. That bypasses the up limit so the drive can go all the way up to the trailer position (Do not run engine when drive is up there. Will cause damage). The top button is the trailer (limit bypass) button

    Wiring Problem on Tilt trailer

    If the running lights don't work, you have a problem with the wiring / plug on the brown wire. Just follow the diagram I supplied and start probing to see where the problem is. Not unheard of for a wire to rot off inside the insulation.

    Wiring Problem on Tilt trailer

    Is there a "bonding wire" connecting the stationary section of frame to the tilting section? That pivot point is a poor bond.

    Wiring Problem on Tilt trailer

    Have you checked the wiring on the vehicle pulling it? May be a crap ground on that end. Do not expect the trailer ball to be the ground. Bad decision if someone does. The white wire ground should be good on vehicle and trailer.
