    Bow stop vs bow roller

    I've had both and prefer the roller, that is unless its a light boat which doesn't have the weight to roll the stop. Everything wears out and have replaced rollers when they start to crack. I do like the yellow non-marking ones better

    My first post - hoping you can help

    The old prop can be put back on the drive and spins with no interference? Would like to see the back side of the original prop Most all require a thrust washer https://www.amazon.com/Thrust-Washer-Propeller-Mercury-135-225hp/dp/B01M0ID93X

    Alpha one transom bolt question

    Doesn't appear the OP is coming back, but my comment/question comes from the year of the boat. Its a 1992 so it should be a Gen 2. A Gen 2 does not use the anode bolts

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi dies when jumping b+b/w wires for timing?

    The neutral button has been snapped off. Many try to remove the button without breaking but don't know how so it gets snapped off. Take a small Phillips screw driver and put it in the hole. Push it in a bit and see if it goes into throttle only mode. If it works you can then take it apart...

    4.3 Temperature Sensor

    Thanks for the S/N, it uses P/N 860490T and original number was 97257A1 Marine senders use 240 ohms (cold/low) to 33 ohms (hot/high) You could try auto parts stores with a ohm meter to try and find one in the right range for cold, but unable to verify hot. This is one for $15 using older...

    Urgent request: dealing with a fuel tank spillage on my '83/4 Islander

    Don't know if the dark one is a hole Being there is no foam and its air, stick a hose in there a flush big time. Gas will float out and any water left behind can be sucked out or will evaporate over time.
