    Three battery on a two way switch

    Don't connect series, that makes the output 24V and things will burn up The house would be parallel (treated as one bat) and the start would be by its self. Suggest using an ACR to charge all bats once motor is running. It will do it automatically but still may need a onboard bat charger for...

    Any Windlass suggestions for 1995 Larson Escapade 240 Day Cruiser

    This is one like yours which shows a vertical type. Things you need to look for is space available for the anchor motor and rode. The above deck (Horizontal) requires less room/space needed below deck, but not by a lot. Then need cabling, breakers and control panel. I would suggest Maxwell...

    2000 5.7 psi pwtr no fuel to injectors

    Don't know which distributor you have but if its the EST then here is how its tested Have not heard the method of measuring resistance in both directions to determine if its good. This would be acceptable if there was a diode inline, but the distributor does not use one of those that I'm...

    Where To Find Riser Fittings....

    If its 1 inch ID then you have the right size, the older thermostat housing did use larger hoses Did some research and the new ones being sold by Merc look just like the ones you have. The original had more copper in them and the part number was 22-866725

    Mercathode System removed. How to I tell if it works?

    It is tested by having the boat in the water for at least 24 hours, and plugged into shore power. Need a platinum coated wire probe and it gets connected to a good multimeter. Meter is placed on millivolts and probe placed in the water behind the drive. The negative on the meter is connected...

    Transfer case motor

    2008 Ram 2500 and the service 4WD light comes on every now and then for the past week or so. Been busy so didn't get to it until today. Thinking it may be a bad connection, removed the connector and all good. Read up on the issue and most lead back to the transfer case motor. So I'm putting...

    1998 Mercruiser 5.7 Engine alignment problems

    I'm thinking rear engine mount needs replacing and/or the transom assembly has been twisted Have you tried loosing the front mounts, use a hoist to lift the motor just a tad off the bottom nut from the thermostat housing, then adjust the bottom nuts up until they just touch the bottom of the...

    1998 5.7 gsi power loss occasionally

    The pattern will look good even if the pressure is higher then required, it will just put more fuel in then needed. Might be able to rent a fuel pressure gauge at the local auto store, just need a Tee fitting to place inline at the TB

    Class Action Thoughts only

    This is just the thoughts about class (CA) action law suites and not actual ones other then to use as points of interest. As a non-attorney and have an understanding that lawyers like CA's because if they do win, they get to get paid first before the pie gets divided up further. So in a...

    Deck and Fuel Tank Replacement Plan

    Not understanding what your asking but will offer this. The stringers should not come in contact with the hull, if they do this will be a hard spot. A hard spot can cause cracks I would have removed the entire strake and replaced as one piece. The one cross frame has been moved forward...
