    Outdrive trim pump, where is the power source

    Yes, it is the boat in the picture. But is there a breaker? Someone on FB told me there was a breaker behind the engine. I will check that today.

    Outdrive trim pump, where is the power source

    2004 Signature; Volvo Penta At the end of the summer, the trim pump started working intermittently. At one point, the motor didn't turn anymore, but I could hear the relays clicking. While testing, I guess a fuse or breaker tripped, because I couldn't hear the relays click anymore. I removed...

    Why my leaf springs are sliding?

    Yes, I saw that. It is like if the axle moved sideways or the U bolts are not tight enough. This is a trailer I had built for my boat in 2018. I had to call the guy 3 times to fix things, and the rest I fixed myself. So, another thing to fix myself.

    Why my leaf springs are sliding?

    I put my finger under the support and I felt the head of the bolt, so it should be fine. Also, they rotate but stay centered.

    Why my leaf springs are sliding?

    Thanks everyone. I now know what those metal straps do in a leaf pack. I found some online. But they look a bit flimsy like for a small utility trailer. I will keep searching.

    Why my leaf springs are sliding?

    No keepers, I bought the trailer new (has been fabricated for my boat). Can this be added after or it is riveted to the leaf? Ok, I will look at my signature picture...LOL... not my Chaparral Signature, but the signature of my post. Ok, not funny, I had to say it... ok, going to bed. zzzz

    Why my leaf springs are sliding?

    Dual axle trailer, only at one wheel, the bottom leaf springs moves sideways. I suppose it is due to the side force applied to the axle when turning tight corners, but I don't like that. How to secure this?

    Yamalube marine grease

    You're right. Previous owners never lubed the hydraulic rams near the transom, and the pin is stuck solid there. I tried all kind of penetrating fluids, zip gun (air hammer), and it doesn't move. Only the rearward pin can be removed, probably because the outdrive has been removed once in a while.

    Yamalube marine grease

    Since I own my boat and trailer, I was using Quick Silver high performance grease (92-8M0071841) for everything, from trailer hubs, to outdrive splines, pivots etc. My local boat shop stopped selling that brand to go with their own brand name 'Amma' that I don't know. My local ATV/snowmobile...

    Engine doesn't start without throttle opening

    Yes I tried. I did like in a video I saw. I unplugged the hose from the manifold and put that end into a clear jar, and started the engine. The engine started right away since it was not the first start I was doing, but my test was to see if there was not any gas going into the jar, and there...

    Navionics, boat in the middle of the screen

    Is this normal, or can it be changed? In the Up-Down position, the boat is centered, showing as much data of where I'm coming from than where I'm heading. I know where I was, so I would prefer to have the boat at the bottom and see more of what is coming in front. Any way to change that?

    Speedometer stuck at 45

    When I put the boat in storage last fall, the speedometer was working fine, and was at 0 when I put the tarp on. This spring, I found the speedometer stuck at 45. When on water, the needle moves higher, like 65, but I'm only at 30 or so. I removed the gauge and used carefully some compressed...

    Trim sensor wiring problem?

    2004 Volvo Penta 5.7 Duoprop. My trim indicator started to work intermittently, and now is showing UP all the time. I disconnected the sensor behind the engine, and I measure somewhere between 10-200 ohms when the sensor was rotated, so the sensor is working. I used a potentiometer connected...
