    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Suggest don't keep buying things unless you don't like money, then pass it my way :ROFLMAO: Once you find out why your over weight, then your going to need that money and even more just to fix. If your hull is soaked, then the boat needs to be gutted, fuel tank, water tank, holding tank all...

    Inverter with shore power - Question ???

    Wonder if they have it setup that way so it can be built cheaper :unsure: or may be an inverter/charger combo maybe Does it have a galvanic isolator installed? This is one I have which shows a combo unit which should do a pass thru when inverter isn't needed

    Volvo Penta 5.0GI to 5.7 swap

    Yes, its a MEFI 3. Looking at ODB Diagnostics your 3858887 would probably use 3858888 for the 5.7 but do check with Bob I see he retunes for $400

    Volvo Penta 5.0GI to 5.7 swap

    The number off yours should match the other. Then there is the issue if it actually works. Make a call to OBD Diagnostics and ask what Bob can do. Could be the reprogramming will cost less

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    4000 and 4200 is great stuff, but to do holes correctly where they will never leak water into the wood, we drill bigger holes and then fill with epoxy. If a holes is drilled just for the screw, even 4200 may not be able to keep all the water out over time. Even the screws you removed already...

    Inverter with shore power - Question ???

    "IF" designed properly, everything should run off shore power and only run off the inverter when switched. Most Friges are 12VDC and 120AC and don't use an inverter

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Looks like the screws were sealed with something like silicone, and if so it most likely are leaking. Can take a philips screw driver and on the inside of the transom, down low where the screws where removed, try to push it into the transom. If it moves its soft

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Water logged, now comes the expensive part. Put a piece of tape on maybe 1/4 drill bit, have it about 1/2 inch from tip and drill some test holes inside. Do transom, stringers and other areas down low.
