    Affordable scan tool

    These engines share a common J1939 communication protocol with heavy diesel truck engines. Most heavy truck scanners can pull DTC codes from these engines if you purchase the correct cable adapter. I can confirm that an inexpensive Autel AutoLink AL529HD does work. It will display all of the...

    If your speedo stops working, it's a known issue. With boat on trailer raise trim all the way up. Look under backside of out drive for a loose black hose. This is the pickup hose for the speedo. It should attach to a barbed white plastic fitting that will appear on the out drive as a square...

    Plastic rivets holding in side panel cupholder remove/replace to give access to grab handles?

    The grab handles on my 2017 Stingray 198ls pulled loose. I have shimmed the holes with zip-ties and tightened them up, but it's a poor long-term solution. The issue is that they used stainless wood screws from the factory. I'd like to through bolt them with a nut and a washer. Access from behind...

Is this normal? This has EFI electronic fuel injection, so the only option is to turn the key, then release for...

    I'm attempting to install Bennett electric trim tabs (Bolt) with Auto trim pro controls and module. I'm new to boat wiring, so bear with me. I'm trying to figure out the cleanest way to connect to existing wiring (2017 Stingray 198ls). I've decided to mount the module above the battery on the...
