    Volvo Penta 5.0 GXi Won't Crank; Winterizing

    Key does not need to be in run, it can be left ON or OFF OK, then pull the start relay and jump across terminals 30 and 87 which should crank the motor. If it does not crank, then its the Yellow/Red Wire connections

    Electrical questions

    I'm misunderstanding your comment or its not worded correctly. A boat would have a start and a house bat. The house bat is used for accessories and the start is used for the motor. If the start bat is low you can use a bat switch to combine the bats to crank over the motor. If your Lund has...

    Dark Vinyl Siding

    Going to install vinyl siding on my rental and would like to use Brown and maybe a darker shade. Have installed siding before but wonder if the vinyl will sag in the hot summer heat. Anyone ever use darker colors in hot climates and have it work out?

    Mercruiser MPI shift interrupt

    This would have me scratching my head real hard trying to figure out how that would happen. If there all running the same mix, an instant miss IMO would not cause one to get more black then the other. For something like that I would look at those injectors or the wiring feeding them (+/-)...

    Need to figure a new door stop

    Mercruiser MPI shift interrupt

    Sounds like something is dragging. When you give it more throttle something is causing it to move the plate. Have someone move throttle to WOT while watching the plate

    Switch doesn't have to be marine grade, but should be water resistance. There is 2 ways to wire it, one uses a diode and the other doesn't

    1996 Wellcraft 210 SS restoration

    The forum is a place for opinions and facts. Voicing an opinion in an area where there are specific regulations is acceptable, but make sure the folks know its opinion. There is nothing wrong with not foaming in a tank, but if it will not be foamed (if it was originally) then it mush be...

    Get a 3/32 drill bit and with your hand (pliers, vise grips) insert into the hole and rotate to clean. A buddy made me one and used wooden file handle, works great

    Mercuriser 260 overheat at low speed

    I'm assuming you have an alpha drive and not a TRS. You have a restriction someplace or the impeller is not pumping correctly. The risers should be much lower in temp because if everything else is clogged up, then the risers would get all the excess cooling water. The temps are showing that...
