    SX-M outdrive not going into reverse consistently

    Thanks, yes the shift cable shifts the shift assembly into forward and reverse just fine. It's just not fully "catching" making me believe the clutch is worn out.

    SX-M outdrive not going into reverse consistently

    Guys, My SM-X outdrive just started not wanting to engage into reverse. When I put it in reverse it sometimes goes in immediately and once in a while it takes 4-5 seconds. I checked the shift cable and it's "snapping" the gear into reverse so I'm confidant that it's not a shift cable issue...

    Where do you guys buy your Volvo Penta outdrive oil?

    Should I replace my surge brakes with electric on my boat trailer?

    Should I replace my surge brakes with electric on my boat trailer?

    It's going to cost me between 200 to 250 to replace my A60 master cylinder, new brake lines, and new hydraulic servo cylinders. I just checked and I could convert to electric brakes for around the same price or a bit more. Do electric brakes work good on boat trailers?

    Replacing my brake lines with rubber lines

    Guys, My current rusted brake lines are ran through the frame on my tandem axle trailer. I'm wonder if I should mount the new lines on the outside of the frame or go to all the trouble of trying to route it through the fram and enlarge the exit hole. If on the outside of the frame I was going...

    Why does my tandem axle trailer not have a backup solenoid?

    Thanks for the info guys. I'm rebuilding my 23 year old trailer and the Brake Actuator Master Cylinder didn't have the electric solenoid and I wanted to make sure. My actuator doesn't have any lock out build in so I guess it's not needed? Thanks again.

    How to bleed trailer brakes

    Well I found out that there's a small hole in the bottom of the trailer tongue that you can insert a flat head screwdriver to pump the actuator. This was so easy once I found out about this.
