    Dash got ripped out!

    I gave a 2005 270 I/O rinker express cruiser. Someone I guess needed my dash with all my gauges worse than I did. The harness/wires behind the dash were all cut. What a mess. So that harness, is that a merc harness from the motor to the gauges or do the boat makers create that harness? Rinker is...

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    Interesting...I'm in fl and don't see that temp unless it is dead of winter...how do higher Temps affect those numbers? 70 is a cool day here. I'm not sure how much I had...I pumped at least a half gallon of water and then said screw it and pumped it all out. I have a 100 gallon tanks, pumped...

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    I don't have another place to put one. I guess if you have that much water it has to be dumped and cleaned. Seems like the at least normal filter is a waste...

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    I buy with other filters and stuff in general, but I don't recall much over 15? But, there are overwhelmed easily- I recall on the 7.3 diesel it would not start until you drained it. And with bowl you could see it, unless it was just full of water I guess. Really worth looking into and really...

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    I used an electric fuel pump for a car- pumped out 75 gallons. That hurt.

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    Hey Chris, I recall you were in the sub business? Hope all is well and thanks for your service! That makes a lot of sense for what I experienced. I think my tank must have had enough water that it completely filled the filter so the water went right into the fuel rail/motor. I recall seeing the...

    Bravo lll shift adjustement

    I replaced the lower shift cable only. It shifted smooth as butter before...it does not grind or anything but the handle works hard.... That tool is the tool I mention, but it only works if the other end of the cable is set right- which unfortunately it is not. Thanks for posting though!

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    I was kind of surprised with recent fuel problems with water, how little the separator stopped. There was also a concerning amount of garbage in the fuel- both making it into the fuel rail. I will for sure change every year and probably less hours if I get busy boating.

    Bravo lll shift adjustement

    I guess the title is mis leading- I found after I put my outdrive back on without the proper adjustment it's hard to shift. I recall on the bearing puller there was a way to set that end of the cable and then there is another tool to set the other end of the cable. I believe there was a work...

    Keys...

    As it turned out I did find my keys in my truck where I always keep them. I've really been supercareful with them knowing it would be a pain in the ass to re do- and it was silly as it was so easy to order replacements with the codes.

    Keys...

    Well guys, thanks for the input but if I could get the code or had another key I'd be good but I got zip. Maybe a locksmith can pick it and get the code. Thanks

    Keys...

    So......I lost my spare keys to both the ignition and cabin..2007 rinker express cruiser with the sliding door. I'm hearing the ignition not a bad swap but tge hatch not so easy?

    Upper shift cable?

    So, I got back to the ramp and tested the outdrive on the trailer and everything was fine, what a relief...so I went ahead and launched to see how it would run after all my water in the fuel issues...and it ran great- and then...I started getting a random timed 4 beeps...I can't find anywhere...

    Upper shift cable?

    Correct- I offered the comment as when I was at the ramp, motor running it shifted with no resistance- I really thought one of the cables had broken as there was so little resistance- like it was only the throttle engaging- so when I got home I checked the push button on the handle it seems to...

    Upper shift cable?

    I have the boat home...while it was running on the water there was no resistance back and forth like it was throttle. At home, not running, definitely resistance (did not push it). I'll have to get it back home and running to figure it out..I pulled the drain plug and there is no rubber pieces...
