    Anyone use a 2017 kia Sorrento AWD/4wd high output engine?

    I'd be more concerned with stopping than being able to tow the boat.

    2012 F20 Starts, But Putters Out Quickly

    I had the same problem with my lawnmower. It would only run while I'm pushing the primer bulb. The problem was the carb bowl gasket, causing the carb to suck air after running for a few seconds then dieing. Have you checked all of the gaskets? The problem doesn't sound like an issue with sand in...

    The positive cable goes thru an ignition switch maybe a battery switch and other stuff before it hits the starter. We need more details on what you're doing.

    Saltwater eating my trailers...

    I only do saltwater with my galvanized trailer. Besides rinse, rinse and more freshwater rinse I use this. I touch up every couple of years but better than buying a new trailer. I've learned the hard way you need to wear gloves, long sleeve shirt and googles. You can not remove this stuff from...

    Yamaha 115 4stroke

    If your setup is like my setup was on my old 2 stroke there should be a small pump on the side of the tank in the bilge (sub tank). It's a small square pump that's actually two gears that turn to move the oil. I would check the voltage at the pump while you flip the toggel switch on, you may...

    12v Motorguide keeps frying switches.

    Good you found the issue. Is the bolt connecting the neg cable the proper bolt? Maybe it's just the way it looks in the picture but it looks like a screw thru a nut securing the cable.

    12v Motorguide keeps frying switches.

    I'm not familiar with the type of switch your dealing with, can you post a pix of one? Two things come to mind. What are the DC current rating of all of the switches? Also are the switches all rated for DC? Also make sure all wire connections are clean, bright and shiny new. Your battery should...

    Impeller Failure Help

    If you're unsure of the current condition of the impeller change it out. I've been told by a mechanic to run the motor every once in awhile to keep the impeller wet and flexible and to prevent it from drying out.

    12 volt issues

    Hopefully that was your issue and it's fixed. I'd check all the connectors you can get to and clean where necessary and spray some cleaner before reconnecting. https://www.crcindustries.com/products/qd-174-electronic-cleaner-4-5-wt-oz.html

    Battery storage in parallel?

    As the other guys said you don't need any wood, concrete is fine. If any of the batteries are the same type/capacity I would connect in parralell and move the charger every couple of months. we don't have basements here on the west coast so I would make sure you have ventilation or just stick...

    12 volt issues

    Not the fuse, it's either good or bad. Did you measure the 12 vdc at the ignition switch on the hot side or the switched side? Where did you measured the 3 volts at? Your statement "Its fine right now as i was messing with the wiring at the blower motor switch then had 12.5 volts" tells me you...

    12 volt issues

    If you're measuring the resistance of a fuse as 90 ohms you have issues, it should measure 0. How did you "Notice the voltage at the ignition switch reading 3 volt"? If you measured 3 volts you have an issue. If as you say " Its fine right now as i was messing with the wiring at the blower...
