    Bennett Trim Repair And Auto Pro Install

    The parts came in, and the senders come with 2 sets of rods. The directions indicate to install with point end into the cylinder but does not say which to use. I'm going to assume it will be ones which will not interfere with screwing the hinge on. Will also need to drill a 5/16 hole for the...

    Stamas Trim Activation Question

    Probably you have a bad trim limit switch (port side gimbal ring). The trim limit switch makes a connection when the drive is low, to get it up higher the two buttons are used to bypass the limit switch. Note the Blue and Purple wire feeding the switch. Find these wires back by the drive, and...

    2000 Mercruiser 5.0L Power Steering Leak

    I would say its in one of these two locations and more then likely its the pump shaft seal. Take a paper towel and place between the pulley and front housing. Place another towel taped lightly to the bottom side of the pump housing

    new kill switch

    A 2-cycle OB can run when the ground wire is removed from the magneto. The OB stops when a ground is connected to a ground. You should have 2 M connects on your ignition switch. One goes to ground and the other to the Mag. Connect the kill switch between ground and the M connector going to...
