2007 Regal 27 foot with VP 5.7GXI-H owned for 3 months
First trip- Serpentine belt kept coming off - replaced belt, tensioner and idler pulley. Still comes off but believe it is the corroded circulation pump pulley. New one coming
First long trip - after 32 miles at 3500 RPM it started...
I have a 1994 Four Winns 278 with dual OMC / VP SX drives. I am contemplating replacing one of the drives, but cannot find the information I need to proceed.
Neither of the drives have the ID tag on the Port side of the drive. The engines are Ford 302, normally aspirated. The drive I am...
I have a '94 four Winns with twin 302 / SX-M outdrives.
Last year I noticed a whining noise from the Port engine. It was very noticeable while cruising at low/idle speed.
I removed the drive and found water inside the bellow. The gimbal bearing was rusty and replaced. I also noticed water...
1994 Four Winns Vista 278 with two 5.0 Ford carbureted motors.
My port engine seems to smoke a lot at times with a thick, black smoke. It reeks of gasoline when idling and for a while after shutting down. I recently rebuilt the carb (2bbl Holley). Since replacing the carb it still smokes and...
I have a Sport Jet 90 with a CDI switchbox (114-4953). Can anyone tell me which is the black/white wire that comes from the switchbox. The black stripe has rubbed off of one of the wires. One appears to be longer than the other. I have a call in to CDI, but who knows how long it will take for...
I have read the manual on this, searched the forum and still don't know how this works.
I have twin 302 fords in the boat, thus dual batteries and dual alternators. I don't understand what is being charged and by what.
I run the boat with the battery selector switch in the "on" position...
Sportjet 90 - just replaced stator, good spark. Took it to the lake and started up just fine. I was just about ready to turn the boy loose in it and it abruptly died. It wouldn't start, although I still had spark. I was able to get it running by spraying pre-mix gasoline into the carbs and...
95 Sportjet 90. Last year I upgraded to all CDI ignition and the boat ran, finally, for the whole last day we used it. I did nothing to it other than winterize. Prior to first outing all I did was charge the battery.
When I tried to start, absolutely no spark to any cylinders. I cleaned all...
Help, I have 94 VP SX-M in Four Winns cruiser. I removed the gimbal plate (I think this is what it's called) to change the bellows, bearing, etc. On the plate is a plastic fitting that the S hose is connected to. It then feeds through the gimbal plate and a large plastic nut secures it in...
Okay, I'll try this again. I have gotten little to no help here and don't know why. I know there is help out there.
There is 12.7 volts reading between the case of my regulator (both old and new one) and the engine ground. Surely, this can't be right....Can it? With the regulator removed...
I have a '94 278 with two OMC / Volvo 5.0 and OMC SX / VP drives. I haven't had it very long. When I get on plane it is almost uncontrollable with porpoising. I have the drives all the way down as the boat is in a slip and I leave them that way all of the time. My trim tabs rarely work, but...
I am replacing a blown head gasket. There are four (maybe more) black plastic tubes wedged in the water jacket around the cylinders. Can anyone tell me what they are for or if it is necessary to replace them?
I have a line on a complete, running Sport Jet 120 to replace my Sport Jet 90 in a 95 Baja Blast. Will they interchange? Are the pumps different? I am guessing the 120 is considerably taller since it has one more cylinder.
There is a seller on Ebay listing Rebuilt Chrysler / Force 90 HP Powerheads (either L-drive or sport jet). My understanding is that the Force sport jet 90 and Mercury sport jet 90 are exactly the same thing. I called the guy and he wasn't sure. Is there any difference at all? Is there...
I have a 95 Sport Jet 90 with WOT power problems. I originally thought it was a bad fuel pump. I checked the compression today and found 100 PSI on #1 and #3, but around 50PSI on #2. I am assuming this is a burned piston since the only way I could start cold was with staring fluid (wished I...
