Full charged battery- engine cranks with ease.<br />I just have the the 2 main cables( + and -) attached to the battery.<br />But seems as if trim tilt is struggling a bit to raise and lower.<br />Could it be the harness on the throttle box. Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br...
While placing the cowl on my engine, I noticed an open ended rubber tube (approx18-24) was dangling from a black tee that is the tell tale. The tee also has another rubber tube that leads to the engine and is completely intact. I cant seem to locate where on the engine this open ended tube...
After winterizing engine, I went to place the cowl back on the engine but noticed that a rubber water tube that was connected to the tell tale T tube was open ended and just hanging from the T. Can't locate where on the engine this rubber tube fits into. There are 2 rubber tubes that seem to...

Last season I had a new powerhead installed on my 1985<br />140 VRO. The engine has probably 20 hrs on it at best. She basically runs great except for this one quirk- if I don't use the boat for a couple of weeks (2 to be exact) - she will start<br />right up, I let her run for 2 minutes or so...
