    Boat trailer winch placement advice.

    You always want the winch to be above the boats bow eye, so it will help lift the nose as it is being winched on. I would suggest removing the whole piece and just install one bow stop roller at the end. You could leave the piece and install a roller at the bottom, but your still going to have...

    Hey Tabman I posted this on the Formula forum and someone read the new manual online and that manual is different then the one I installed to, and is also different then the one that came with my last system. Here is a pic of the manual and the last control I just removed. Now here is the...

    Bennett Trim Repair And Auto Pro Install

    Went out today and its more of the same. Think I need to take my Go Pro with me next time for a vid. If I push FAV1 after I'm on plane most the time the tabs retract and I start leaning a bit. If I continue on and start turning a bit it will start to adjust tabs but not much and will not...

    5.7 alpha one gen 1 shifting issues

    Yours isn't that old, not a Gen 2 but not that old and should have the regular setup. Use the shift cable and mark the cable in F/R and place the roller in the center of the notch when cable is in the center of movement

    Finally Its Pay Back Time - Yellow Jackets

    About 12 or so years ago, I'm in French Lick IN following my nephew on an old Korean war Army Mule across where natural gas pipe line crosses the country. The Mule is not fast, top speed maybe 20 mph. My nephew is riding some 4 wheeler but not going fast. He goes over a bump in the field and...

    Did Volvo use SAME wire harness for multiple motors; extra plugs everywhere???

    This is the GL-C and D This is GL-E If we go back to a GL-A then there are less sensors, but most work off the same alarm wire

    2007 4.3L TKS Mercruiser starts and runs then dies after about 30 minutes.

    Thanks for double checking me, and I did look at the V* model, and should have been manual 32 (start with S/N 0M322781), but the torque specs are the same In post 1 you said it was a 2007 motor, an by looking at your intake, it appears to be aluminum. Manual 25 is 1998 to about 2000 (see S/N...

    2007 496MAG stalls when idling for 10 min.

    If it is doing it, then its the first motor I've heard of doing it. The pump is supplying more fuel then the motor can use, so it keeps circulating fuel back to the filter. If this is enough to make it happen, I don't know, this is why I mention using the rag. If you see bubbles then there is...

    Says Its a rivet gun

    I always thought so :D Well my curiosity was up and its raining, so grab the umbrella and to the shop. It is a pop rivet gun and the plug needs to be on the back because after (assumption here) the rivet is installed, the pin is tossed back into the red tube so another can be loaded. The...

    Says Its a rivet gun

    Comparing the 1/4 gun of today Which is a one hander, this one takes 2 hands and has an upper handle. I'll figure this out one of these days. Who knows, it may just be really old and they now can make them small and light weight

    Key off, still running

    Many of the later VP motors used diodes coming from the ALT to power the electric fuel pump. The AQ has a mechanical fuel pump unless someone did some changing. Its hard to see but in the drawing, the wire coming from the ALT thru pin B (black wire) goes up to a light. The other side of the...

    difficult turning

    Ok, then you can offset the "torque steer" (that's the term) by adjusting the trim anode, one side or the other.

    Says Its a rivet gun

    Bought this at an auction for $27 so figured it was cheap enough. Says its a rivet gun and appears to maybe take 1/4 type, but cannot find any info on it. Anyone ever see one similar?

    2007 4.3L TKS Mercruiser starts and runs then dies after about 30 minutes.

    Since you rebuilt it yourself, then you need to try again. As in post 10, the module supply's more fuel until it warms up and shuts off. When it shuts the extra fuel off the motor dies. The issue is the small idle circuits are small. Need to take a thin wire and chase thru them. If the...

    Volvo penta stalled now won’t start

    Being a GL (A thru E) it would have 2 diodes going to the relay coil to energize it. You should get power from the Yellow/Red thru one diode while the motor is being cranked. Once started the power comes from the ALT. Since your not getting power to the relay, I would first look to see if...
