    Detonation and knock sensor

    I have posted previously about problems with '96 5.0l EFI volvo penta. Ended up it was a detonated piston. In the process of having engine replaced. My question is about the knock sensor. If the knock sensor is working will it always prevent the pre-ignition? When you feel the timing being...

    2001 Stingray w/5.0L mercruiser

    Looking at a 2001 200LX with a 5.0L Mercruiser and an Alpha 1 outdrive. I am not familiar with the mercruiser. It appears to be carburated instead of fuel injected. What are the opinions on these engine and outdrive? Thanks!

    Engine Manual for '96 Horizon 200

    Just bought a '96 200. Was trying to download the engine manual from the volvo site. The engine is the 5.0 w/ fuel injection w/ Cobra sx outdrive. All of the 5.0 fuel injected manuals are for the dual prop. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Four Winns on a Mastercraft trailer

    I have just bought a '97 200 Horizon (my first boat) that came with a Mastercraft trailer. Some of the initial observations are that it sits to far forward and the bow stop needs to be moved back away from the winch. It also appears to sit to close to the fenders (low on the trailer). Any...
