    Wiring a 4 position switch for 12 and 24 volts - 2 battery system

    None of your diagrams will work, only one that can be used is on the left and it will only work to start the motor and run boat electronics. This setup will do what you want without a switch, but keep in mind it will drain both bats when trolling. If both are drained to far, then there is a...

    Bravo 3 gear lube leak

    There is a small hole in the center of the drive and it uses an o-ring to seal next to the exhaust port. This pic is showing the differences in years on the housing, but just note where the o-ring and oil port is. If its not leaking at the prop shafts my next thought would be the shift shaft...

    Flushing 5.0L Gi engines in wet slip with block drain hoses, is there a better way?

    The water heater on my Formula was connected the same way, just the flush doesn't look like it would work very well, but just my opinion Many use a Tee connection on the intake hose to the pump and switch then start the motor. For others to see a few pics easier

    What does this symbol mean in manuals/parts catalogues?

    My previous comment was While the lip would face toward the bearing side but also the fluid side. The lip faces toward what your trying to keep IN. Now in some cases there is a double seal (not double lip seal), where 2 different lip seals are used. In this case for example, one keeps...
