    Questions regarding tow vehicle

    Even with a WDH you need a proper amount of tongue weight. Should be between 7% to 10% on a tandem boat trailer. My WDH doesn't need a separate sway control bar...it's built into the design of the hitch. It will also work with surge brakes since it is not a chain type equilizing hitch. If you...

    Master Switch Circuit Breaker Pops when ignition key is turned on

    One way would be to isolate at the engine connector. The only problem is that the power going to the helm goes through that same connector so you would have to jump around it.

Then measure the voltage at the relay 85 terminal. If you get voltage at the alternator and not at pin 85, your diode is bad. My guess, its...

    Questions regarding tow vehicle

    It may be called a class IV hitch but those are the ratings. On the sticker it actually says V-5 I thought about it but I found the exact same hitch I use for my travel trailer which is the E4 Equilizer for less than a different receiver and it tows WAY better with the WDH than without.

    Questions regarding tow vehicle

    My F-150 has a the OEM hitch that is rated for 500# TW and 5000# total towing weight. Anything higher is recommended to be a WDH. I use a WDH with my boat which is likely 6800# total with a 650# tongue weight.

    Shifter question?

    I find that very hard to believe. What happen if the throttle is on the port side of the boat? Yes...I have seen boats like that.

    I stand corrected. Kinda interesting it has an elbow as well. Wonder what the PCV even does.

    7.4GL temp sender info needed

    Looks like it's part 31 in this diagram. This is for your exact model. Part number 3852029 http://www.volvopentastore.com/Exhaust-And-Cooling/dm/cart_id.322240510--session_id.106526523--store_id.366--view_id.769693

    7.4GL temp sender info needed

    Yes, the other is a temp switch for an alarm. You probably don't have that wired up. On later engines, it would cause you go into S.L.O.W. mode but I doubt your engine has that. You should be able to look up the part number on a slightly newer motor. I am sure they are the same senders.
