    Gel coat or paint?

    You can brush or roll gelcoat on but can not spray using a hvlp, you need a dump gun and a compressor to put out more air then a pancake.

    Looking at Formula with bravo drives...No impeller in drive??

    It's actually easier to replace, that is IF you can get to it. I have to remove the alternator, oil lube bottle and hang upside down, a 31PC should have more room then I do.

    Looking at Formula with bravo drives...No impeller in drive??

    In the bottom right of this pic is the pump, and being a 98 it should also have a serpentine belt.

    1988 Mercruiser 5.7 260 - which are intake and which are exhaust valves on the head

    Look at which ones align with the exhaust ports (exhaust valves), can do the same with the intake (intake valves). The green lines below show alignment with the exhaust valves. Also note that 1-3-5-7 are on the left bank, and 2-4-6-8 are on the right bank. Valve alignment on the other side is...

    Need a high torque starter

    Going to be going thru a bunch of stuff this winter and one of the items is the starter. Did all the cable checks, both ends and replaced the starter battery just in case, no change. Only thing not done is replace or bypass the battery switch, and that to is on the list. In any case I think...

    Cruiser restoration and wheelchair adaption

    I like it, should work out nicely, only issue I'm seeing is the length of stroke needed. The trim pump has some great control but not much stroke. Shorting it to lift that distance and having enough mechanical advantage to start going up I'm looking as the main point. Another thought with the...

    Cruiser restoration and wheelchair adaption

    I can understand how the 100kg lift will work, but the next two items are a bit unclear. The two piece scissor box is understandable, but not quite how it can handle the load or where it will be located. Are you looking at something like motorcycle lift but much lighter?

    5.7L Rochester carb issue we think

    The gauge has to be between the fuel pump and carb. There is different ways, the easiest is pick up one of these but it needs a barbed fitting instead of the shrader valve as shown. It can be attached right at the carb. Another way is remove the steel line and install a rubber line with a...

    My 454 won't start,...

    I'm seeing two different fuel rail designs but the fitting is the same. Your looking for a cap which is screwed over the top of a brass shrader valve (like a bicycle tire). The two designs are shown below. The issue the is puzzling for me is after it starts it runs fine. Don't see a weak...

    Boat porpoising

    I've never done this but my thought would be to get an angle finder like this Place the finder next to the transom and see what the angle is, then place it on the forward edge of the leg. The difference between the two angles is the angle you need to make if flat. If after the wedge is...

    Boat porpoising

    It's how weight is distributed and the angle of the tilt. With power trim the drive starts parallel to the transom and in some cases even a bit under. As speed increases the rim can be move out away from the hull until the proposing starts. To much trim starts proposing, to little causes the...

    troubleshooting a possible fried battery charger

    If you sure the connections from charger to the battery are correct and it blows the fuse, then yes the charger is shorted out. I found the manual but it does not have any internal wiring diagrams. https://www.*****************/files/manual-gu2611a1.pdf blocks yet another site
