    Robalo2440 1995 Nav light needs repaired

    Good you found something but I see more than just the glare at night issue. The light is not taller than your Bimini top, so the light will not be seen all around which doesn't work for Regs. Most any electrical shop will have conduit benders. You could get one longer and bend to fit, or get...

    Dual battery or booster pack?

    My comment in post 29 was saying if you had a switch to connect both for emergency starts it would be helpful. Meaning a 3 post switch on/off/combine My comment in post 31 was just saying the HF switch is ok to be used in a Marine environment The 3 position switch is like this This way if...

    MerCruiser 140 (’68–’82) choke tube missing – alternative or electric choke conversion?

    Don't know of anyone who has made one but most have been replaced with electric. Otherwise I would look at brake/fuel line and flare fittings

    any roofers here?

    Another issue with metal if you have snow or ice, it can slide off and kill someone. If you use metal put things up there to keep things from sliding off

    any roofers here?

    Roofed so many roofs I lost count, never as a roofer, just a bunch of guys getting together for each other to get it done. Most asphalt but also metal, no metal shingles A metal roof will last 50+ years and the issue is most folks doing a reroof are over 50. Being over 50 the average 40 year...

We had some rain and things greened up but still noticed the slip every now and then on steep climbs. Stopped on the level and had the valve stem at 1 o'****...

    Loss of power to trim

    Use a voltmeter and measure power to see if power is on both sides of the fuse. It comes from the starter to the fuse, then to the pump relays
