Yep everytime I run the engine I have the earmuffs on with water running to them.
I was able to get everything working. The blower works now and the trim is working. I was able to directly jump the solonoids and got the outdrive to go up so I know the trim pump worked so I started working on...

Hello,
I'm hoping some of you here can help me out. I've never owned a boat and know absolutely nothing about boats but always wanted one for fishing. I found someone near where I live selling a boat for $1,000 and said it hasn't been used in a couple of years so it needs a new battery and the...
