    2015 4.5 no start/trim

    Hello all. Looking for some help with an odd problem. Blower, bilge, radio all work fine. But when I go to turn the key I get nothing and I also have no trim. Now if I take the trim fuse out and replace it I have trim again and when I turn the key I get a single click and then nothing with...

    1993 60 evinrude missing above 3000 rpm once warm

    Hello all. Recently have an issue I thought I would run past everyone. 1993 evinrude 60 starts and run fine until it’s warm. Pulling away from the ramp it accelerates like normal and gets on plane etc. once on plane it starts cutting out. Sometimes it “catches” and picks up where it left...

    Stereo system suggestions?

    Hello all . Current setup is 4 speakers, 2 tower speakers and a sub running off of a clarion 5 channel amp. While the sound is decent if you get above halfway on volume there is just not enough power. I’m considering taking the bow speakers off of the amplifier and running those off of the...

    1993 Evinrude 60 high speed intermittent miss and other shenanigans

    Hello all just wanted to post here and see if I’m on the right track. Engine has the original VRO pump which has been converted to premix. So my motor gets up on plane fine and runs like normal for about 3-5 minutes. After that there is an intermittent “cutting in and out” while underway. Not...

    Power steering fluid leak

    I got away with a cheap solution. One of the cheap plastic hose clamps (and I use clamp in the loosest sense of the word) was loose and allowing fluid to come out of the hose. New stainless steel hose clamps and it’s good as new!

    Power steering fluid leak

    Hello all. I have finally tracked down a vanishing power fluid issue. After feeling around the oil cooler it was soaked with power steering fluid. Seems to be leaking from the actual unit itself and not a hose connection (they were all dry). Engine is a VP 4.3GL and my engine access is...

    1999 Volvo penta 4.3 gl starter issue

    All I know is I cleaned every connection from the S terminal back to where it connected to the relay. The yellow red wire was the only reading I had out of whack when I installed new cables this afternoon. Also cleaned and tightened every wire that goes to the 50 am circuit breaker. Thanks...

    1999 Volvo penta 4.3 gl starter issue

    Thanks everyone for all of their help. Ancor battery cables came today. I finally traced my issue back to the yellow red wire where it fed into the starter relay. One of the prongs on the harness part that the relay plugs into was slightly bent. Cleaned everything up and gently bent it...

    1999 Volvo penta 4.3 gl starter issue

    I misspoke on my readings. It was not in millivolts those should be in volts not millivolts.

    1999 Volvo penta 4.3 gl starter issue

    Thank you. That is a great explanation. What would cause the actuator arm to not be connected? I have cycled through 3 starters that have all tested good and 2 are brand new and I am getting the same intermittent issue .

    1999 Volvo penta 4.3 gl starter issue

    I can get a picture when I get home this afternoon. It is a new ARCO 30470. I have both red wires on the main stud. Yellow and red on the small stud closest to the block and purple on the small stud away from the block. This one really has me scratching my head. Could it perhaps be a bad...

    Thanks everyone for the help thus far. Still waiting on my battery cables but was able to get a break in the rain today and do some voltage drop tests. Here are my multimeter readings and hoping someone smarter than me can tell me what they mean 😂 red to red battery post Black to red...

    1999 Volvo penta 4.3 gl starter issue

    New cables are coming tomorrow. This is about to drive me insane lol. Additionally when I crank the engine, my stereo lights dim and flash a bit while cranking. Not really sure if that has anything to do with it but thought I would add it in. I have my fingers crossed that the new cables...

    1999 Volvo penta 4.3 gl starter issue

    That is what I am going to tackle this afternoon. The access is tight back there for sure. I am replacing the cables anyway, could I just mount the negative battery cable to a bolt on the engine?

    Blowing 50 amp breaker

    You gentleman are 100% correct. My negative battery cable had corrosion on the lug, was not crimped onto the cable fully and would not seat on the battery post correctly. I have cleaned and tightened all connections on the battery and have no issues right now. Will do the same with the...

    Hello all. First off I am a bass boat guy and inboard/outboards are out of my wheel house. I am looking at a boat for the family and everything looks good on it but the only thing that concerns me is the boat sat in a slip all last summer and is heavily covered in algae. My question is how on...
