    2014 GMC Sierra AC

    New switch came in. On my trucks, there is a Schroeder valve. Threw the pressure gauges on the system before. About 50 psi low on high side Swapped switch, added a few OZ of freon to get the pressure up to 250 (90 degrees) and it's been running and cooling for an hour

    A couple more I/O questions...

    The batwings were a cost savings idea to make the elbow and manifold as one piece. The truth is the castings failed killing the motors

    Marine Sea Foam

    sea foam wont clean a carb. what RPM are you getting on the motor. if its running lean, that is a good way to toast a motor. I would use ring-free to make sure the rings are loose.

    Gas guage

    gauges should not have constant power. they should be powered by the ignition circuit. however some gauge air cores do not move to 0 (home) on their own. @JPsanta verify if you have 12 volts on the purple wire on the back of the gauges with the key off.

    How would a compromised bellows sink the boat?

    the exhaust bellows will not sink your boat, however the u-joint bellows can given time, or a bad y-pipe to transom shield seal. water will make it past the shaft to bearing surface, and end up in the bilge. add any corrosion or poor machining and it flows that much faster. Volvo is better at...

    Steering at low speeds - Volvo Penta

    since these pumps generally can withstand a nuclear blast and continue to run without issue, the most I would do is get a rebuild kit from napa, pull your pump apart and go thru it. most likely there is debris in the PRV. as far as hydraulic pumps go, these are fred flintstone simple.
