    Changing an I/O to OB has been done many times and can be done for yours if you have the finds and skill to do. Like most mods it usually cheaper to just buy what you want.

    Best sharpener for my Kabar?

    Don't know what to say. I have a pocket knife which is more on the stainless side and I get it sharp, but just doesn't stay that way very long. Main reason because of the stainless

    Best sharpener for my Kabar?

    Have sharpened many knives but I'm no expert by any means. In most cases keeping the angle with each pass is where most have issue, including my self. A jig is what helps me.

    No Spark

    Without power to the coil, check for power at the choke with key ON. Could be something as simple as the key switch went bad. With the tach bouncing, this could be power of the tach is shorting out. Run though the TBV trouble shooting guide and see what show up

    Bayliner trophy 2002 -1995

    Those items would be hard to find even on this side of the pond. If they where found most likely they would be in bad shape. Hardware latches. hinges and such should be available. The actual hatches may need to be made.

    Mercruiser 3.0 TKS Alternator Question

    It will change at idle but there is no info on how much. There is a ALT test at 1500-2000 rpm's which should be at least 30 amps. So if you can get 20 that would be to bad. If your willing to go high dollar can switch to Lithium Ion bats. That change fast and can provide full output amps...

    Engine Harness Mounting and Routing 5.7L

    In most all cases the wires route on top the motor and down to the items. The big lug which goes on the starter post is a fuse. The fuse is inside the block and is there to protect the battery if the alternator shorts out I would suggest connect the fuse to starter then route the wires the...

    Timing Adjustment 5.7 Vortec Slow Crank

    Having that much advance can slow the rotation, and more so if it grunts during the rotation. When spark hits before TDC and trys to spin it backwards. If not doing that then cable connections, battery, starter. Place a voltmeter on the battery and see if the voltage drops below 10V when cranking

    Its a good area to go thru, and the channel is 9 ft minimum and marked by the USCG. Either side of the markers (buoys) is less. Below Smithland lock and turning into the cumberland from the ohio is real shallow unless your well below the upper point where they come together Remember "Red...

    Bowrider

    I have a 232 with a 454 and have pulled 9 skiers up at one time (started with 11 and 2 fell off). The 454 in the 232 is a much better boat then the 350 or 383, just has more low end torque

    1997 5.7 Gi fuel system

    The issue with the LP pump not working during cranking is most likely the PO didn't install the circuit to turn it ON during cranking, or the diode blew The ECM was preprogramed by VP, and they determined the curve through testing prior to selling the motor. Merc, VP and others all do it this...
