    Boat Lift Question

    Guess you could give it a go to see if it works. Moving both out would give you clearance. Maybe contact the manufacture to see if they have any comment. Looks like your dry weight with full tank of gas is 3740, then add gear and you should be within limits. Don't let anyone ride up or down...

    Boat Lift Question

    I understand what you want to do but do have concerns over the weight limit of the hoist. Your not able to extend the beam out further because this will put more stress on the hard ware. the lift is designed to lift with cable s straight and if the beam is extended on each side the will put...

    Boat Lift Question

    Have no direct dealings with cable lifts but your dimensions tells me you don't have enough room. Could get into it a bit further but would need to know which make model is it? Assuming it something like this

    Boat trailer spindle removal

    Yep, fixed one like it years ago on my car trailer. Use a ban saw (I used portable hand type) to cut it off at the weld. If yours was flush welded like mine was, the pipe will be clean. Then get another spindle which has more shoulder and drive it into the pipe and weld it up. If you get the...

    Hydrohoist tube repair

    Guy at my dock had someone use his slip while he was out and drafted more water then he does. Don't know who it was, they probably just used the slip because everything at the marina was full, or may have backed into it. Appears the boats skeg cut one of the tubes slightly, kind of a deep...

    1985 Mercruiser 140 fuel problem

    Don't know but some pics of that model show an access panel in the floor. The filter is part of the fuel pump and not in the tank (click on links above in other post). There would be an antisiphon valve on the tank that the rubber fuel line is connected to. The valve is a ball and spring inside...

    Mercruiser 5.7L Alpha One - 1997 - Thunderbolt V Ignition - turns over; won't start

    Howdy Yes there is a kill switch and in most cases its part of the throttle control near the bottom or close by. In the pic below note the purple wire goes to the throttle handle and there is the kill switch in lower left of the handle. Check for 12V on the purple wire, and if you have it...

    Mercury 50 hp won't turn off

    Howdy A 4 stroke motor needs a connection made to run and remove the connection and it dies. The 2 stroke is the opposite, it needs a ground applied to the magneto to stop and removed to run. In the pic below there are 2 "M" terminals. One of the M is grounded and the other goes to the...

    Using the paperclip to get motor RPM down for trolling

    Agree with Scott, get a different prop (best) or trim the drive up more so you get less speed The paper clip at the DLC connector puts the motor in base timing mode, and while it can slow it down, I would strongly suggest not doing this for trolling purposes. But to answer your question its...

    Lots of ignition/starter/alternator questions

    I see an automotive ALT installed and that is a :nono: , its not ignition protected and can blow your boat up. The +15V is showing the ALTS regulator is bad. Also the flamethrower coil is not used with points, unless it states to use with an external resistor

    Water temp is color is Tan and Oil pressure is Light Blue Don't know about a white/Blue but there is a Light Blue/white that goes to the trim up circuit The one next to the distributor in most cases is the oil pressure sensor, but if it is a switch, then it would go to a light because you...

    Engine Quits

    My last comment on this issue just so you understand why A "Stock" motor which has a 140 thermostat in it then it should stay close to 140 degrees and can climb some during hard running. Running 3/4 throttle is not that hard, and I also have similar boat (95 Rinker). A stock motor which has a...

    3.0L won't start, idle, or run without constantly pumping the throttle

    You will need a fitting to connect to the carb . Use rubber fuel line and connect one end to the fuel line going to the cab with a clamp. Then install a Tee, more fuel line and clamps. Can also use to fittings, one on carb and the other on the pump with Tee, in between. Another method is get one...
