    WOT Issue (Maybe?)

    Boat gauges are almost always not accurate. Changed prop from 19P to 20P and now your getting 4900 rpm. Even though a stainless prop blades are thinner, going back to 19P will increase the rpm some. The change will not get it back to 5800. Note: for future reference, if any motor is reaching...

    Mercruiser 3.0 MPI ETC, Oil pressure sender issue? I can't find it.

    Need to fix the kink in the fuel line. Might see if it can be turned another 270* so it points side ways and straight out. This will provide enough room to keep the kink from happening. On the same subject, the fuel line is fairly skinny and doesn't look like USCG type A1. See if you can...

    Trim will go down not up IO Volvo Penta

    Will it go up if the trailer button is pressed? If not, look for the Blue/White wire on the relays. Need 12V on the Blu/Wht wires when up is pressed. Can swap the relays to see if the problem moves to down If it does go up with trailer button, then its the limit switch on the drive

    Trim and tilt problems on 5.0L

    Most likely the piston seal inside the cylinder is leaking slightly. Replace the internal seal and it will be fine. Don't know about the noise, but check for something binding, U joints need grease (but if they were dry there should be vibrations)

    2005 Rinker Captiva 192 - should I stay away
