    Prop size

    Its hard to actually see if the boat is coming up to high. Another boat running along side could get an idea. If the prop gets close to the surface it will start to get air in and will ventilate. If it does ventilate the rpms increase but speed does not

    Cleaning IAC

    Putting a scanner on the motor you could see if the IAC counts were normal (around 40 at idle). If it is in the normal area and does stall, just means the IAC is unable to react fast enough to keep it idling.

    Cleaning IAC

    Is it idling to slow? Giving it a slight increase in throttle does it stay running? If both are true, I'll assume you have cleaned the IAC. It may just need replacing.

    Fuel leak

    The pic doesn't show hex nuts or maybe an optical illusion Least its on the low pressure side, would make it easier to fix. I would remove the line and check the sealing surfaces

    Cleaning IAC

    Many do some don't. Your design could be either depending on when manufactured. I would not give it much thought so far as design. Your having trouble with idle?

    Alpha One Gen II loosing oil

    Sorry, misunderstood, mentioned it stays forever so figured it stops It should be tested as whole drive. Most consensus is 5 to 7 psi. The seals being lip type will seal tighter as the pressure increases. Also good to use a hand vacuum pump and pull 2 to 3 in Hg. Rotating drive, prop and...

    Alpha One Gen II loosing oil

    If you refilled the drive, then this is normal. There is an air pocket in the top of the drive which is above the vent. It just takes some time for all the air to work its way out To speed up the process, the drive needs to be off the boat. After refilling put vent plug in and also...

    BSS Add-A-Battery ACR and wiring questions

    In general connecting the ALT to the start bat will be sufficient to change both. For house bats which get used a lot, it might be best to connect the ALT to the house bat. This way once motor starts the ALT provides full charge capacity to house and ACR will connect the start once level is...

    99 5.0 GI Volvo Penta siezed

    The 5.7 will bolt right up. Get a 1995 or newer vortec long block. Carb is probably fine but would check the plugs a few times after running WOT to see if your running lean. Being your 20 ft you won't have a hp plate
