    Perko dual battery switch

    I've owned the boat for over 10 years now. But just now realized that I've got no power to the starter when the switch is set to #2. If I remember correctly it did have power in this setting when I first got it. No changes to the wiring since purchased except for replacement of the batteries.

    SX-M Trim

    Was wondering what the safe max trim angle is on my outdrive from fully in. Either the angle or how much chrome is showing on the rams. I usually just trim up by the seat of my pants according to how the boat is running. But for peace of mind I would like to know the safe max. Thanks for your help

    No ground in fuel pump relay socket Volvo Penta 4.3 GXI

    Have you checked to make sure the kill switch is properly attached? If it's not fully attached it will cut power off to the pump

    Can't get boat even on bunked trailer.

    He was having problems winching his boat all the way up to the front. And was bouncing while trailering. Thats why I recommended a different winch

    Can't get boat even on bunked trailer.

    Not electric but would make pulling the boat all the way up easier

    Can't get boat even on bunked trailer.

    Just saw your other post about the boat bouncing. I would replace your winch. Even though its new , its a cheap generic one. Get a good 2 speed winch. It will make loading so much easier for you.

    Are you sure the tach is reading properly? Do you have the throttle wide open or do you still have throttle left ?
