Thanks for the info. I have read lots of good reviews about the trilux but the copper on the label threw me off. The outdrive was already painted with some kind of antifouling paint when I purchased it 2 years ago. I do have some raw aluminum showing through where the corrosion was taking place...
I have a B3 that I have been having corrosion problems with when in a slip (freshwater) last year. I think I figured out my problem. I forgot to hook the ground cable back to the inner transom plate.
I am planning to install new bonding cables and paint the outdrive with Trilux 33 that I...
I believe the gauge may have been off. I checked the air side with a tire gauge and it was right at 80 psi idling. I took the boat to the lake this weekend and on Friday when I put it in the water I took it around the bay (no further than a mile) at different speeds and it ran perfect. I...
Where to use the clear hose? From the tank to the engine? The low pressure pump cycles when the key is turned on, but that's as far as I've checked it. I removed the VST again today to check everything over and the fuel inside was very varnished. The fuel tank & VST was drained before the...
I have a 2006 opti 175 that I am trying trying to figure out. It has no problem starting or idling, although it does have a random miss/rough idle at times that you can feel. The boat had been sitting a long time when I got it and the electric pumps were not working. I replaced all 3 of the...
I admit it the bulb was a walmart brand, maybe Atwood? And I have read some bad reviews about them now. I planned to buy a mercury bulb from our marina last weekend but they were sold out.
Is there a way to test the pulse pump? I dont remember the brand when I replaced it, but I bought a...
Sorry for the long post, but trying to be thorough with information. I have a 06 175 opti that has been giving me problems. Long story short, the boat has sat for ~10 years without being ran (though it was winterized and fuel tank drained) and only had 49 hours on it. When I got it neither of...
I have an alpha and a bravo coupler laying around and I am trying to decide what to do with them. Both are supposedly good, but I have never used them. The alpha style coupler came on a boat I bought with a 7.4l/bravo 3. The engine was older than the boat and I believe it was around an 88-90...
Yeah I don't have the gauges. We do have a few sets of r134a gauges so maybe if there are some adapters we could make it work. We did open both of the ports while cranking over and we could hear solid bursts of air coming from the one, and the fuel port hardly had any gas come out. Nowhere near...
Thanks, that's kind of what I was thinking, but not familiar with these kind of pumps. Have use 12v inline electric pumps on vehicles in the past and you can definitely tell when they are running when supplied with power.
I have a 2006 175 Optimax that will not start on its own. The boat/engine has been sitting since about 2013. I first hooked up an external gas tank and primed the bulb before trying to start. It would not start, so we sprayed a little starting fluid into the throttle body and it fired up and...
I will be sticking with my original sensors for now then. I will replace them with their proper replacements if needed since I know which is which now. I am planning to put the oil pressure sender by the oil filter and put the oil pressure alarm switch up top where the original pressure switch...
I am in the process of replacing a mark IV 7.4l with a gen VI (used, from 2000 truck) and I want to replace these two oil pressure sensors. I believe one is for the alarm and one is for the gauge? On the mark IV, these were both directly above the oil filter. The gen VI only has a plug for...
I didnt even look at that part. I know mine has the slotted holes. But it looked like the oil hole was in the front like mine, although i could be looking at a different hole. I emailed the company with my serial number to see if they think it will work.
