    2013 F250 6.7 Powerstroke

    Code came back so he's taking it to the dealer next week. It's 15F now so I don't think it's a warm weather issue.

    1976 Mecruiser 351W Trim System

    I've used Dexron ATF for a couple of decades with no issues in my trim pump. Being red it's easier for me to differentiate between that and engine oil if there's a leak. I'm not sure why it would foam. I've had a number of vehicles that required Dexron for the power steering pump.

    2013 F250 6.7 Powerstroke

    Checked the batteries. One was bad and the other was really bad. Replaced both. Hoping that may have been the cause of the P20BA as well. If it comes back he's taking it to the dealer. Thanks for the help!

    Great, that's what I was hoping. Thanks. When disconnecting do both cables need to be removed or is one enough?

    Wellcraft or Robalo or Black Fin or BW for CC?

    Changing props

    Put it in forward gear to remove prop and reverse to install (or maybe it's the opposite). Best if you have spare hardware in case you drop parts in deeper water. If the water is not calm it's a bit trickier as the boat moves. I've done it leaning off the back of the boat. Depends on the boat...

    Winter Prep for So Cal

    If it's for a few months tops, and get yearly maintenance done, and don't have to worry about freezing I'd make sure the battery was charged and that's it.

    2015 Dodge Grand caravan SE trailer wires installation failed

    If wired properly the ball shouldn't have anything to do with grounding. That might be the case if the trailer isn't wired correctly. There should be a ground from the vehicle harness connector that attaches to the ground on the trailer harness connector. When I rewire a trailer I don't even...

    Help IDing Trailer

    With that setup and without the side guides as Scott suggested it will be difficult to keep centered if you go in too deep. As you discovered it will float side to side. Your idea of just deep enough to get the bow on the back roller is a good start.

    Can you use 2 stoke oil in a prestolite, trim pump?

    No, don't do that. Check to see what colour it is in case someone put ATF in.
