    Stern Drive transom lower right bolt fell out

    I mean, it can be done for cheap, depending on how you value your time. I'm going to add up all of my parts costs for the last 16 years and see what it ends up as.

    Stern Drive transom lower right bolt fell out

    It doesn't matter. If it broke then it was corroded.

    Stern Drive transom lower right bolt fell out

    Oh yeah, there's a 0% chance of even accessing those bolts with the engine in, never mind doing any kind of repair or inspection

    Stern Drive transom lower right bolt fell out

    This was the case in mine. Transom had localized rot along both of the bolts. I was able to clean out the rot, fill the holes with epoxy and redrill. Although if I did it again I'd fill with 5200 instead.

    How do I troubleshoot the solar panel of my lift?

    Thank you, Chatgpt Where's the manual? I couldn't find a solar lift when I built mine, I'm curious about this one Op, you're getting voltage out of the panel, so you should be getting some charge. You can put an ammeter between the panel and battery to see what it's putting out. Then see if...

    I'm not going to check eBay for you but I'd be shocked if you can't find decals there

    Voltage low code 4602-32

    Isn't this boat brandy new and under warranty?

    This is one reason you lower the out drive...

    I've heard that people also have " trim gauges" that work. I think I had one of those once

    Batteries not charging

    This is truly terrible advice. Anybody reading this, if you think that there aren't better ways to test your alternator (really, a multimeter between the alt output and ground)... there are. You can 100% fry an ECU doing this. Not as much of an issue in these engines, but don't generalize 1960's...

    Ah, a "free thinker", unconstrained by science 🙄

    Swap drives from one boat to another. How many day project?

    I used 4200 on the through bolts on mine, seems like a good place for water intrusion. Mine has localized transom rot around the bolts

    Batteries not charging

    Btw, don't do this on anything with electronics

    Seriously? Who is using portable generators to charge their cars? https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2022/08/electrifying-transportation-reduces-emissions-and-saves-massive-amounts-of-energy/ https://www.motortrend.com/news/evs-more-efficient-than-internal-combustion-engines/ Etc

    Went electric

    Yes, your thinking is akin to how goldfish think. More than one variable at play, which gets too complicated sometimes for some. An EV using nothing but coal fired electricity is still more efficient than an ICE.

    Went electric

    This whole tired "using dirty coal to get electricity" argument has been disproven so many times ...
