When he comes back and asks his next question, I hope all he gets are crickets.

The lever doesn't require 1200# to actuate it. I just put a pair of vise grips on the lever to give me enough leverage to operate mine. That's how I bleed the brakes. As far as electric brakes go, I can't stand drum brakes wether they are electric or hydraulic. That's why my trailer had disc...

That's the neutral safety switch in the diagram. The kill switch(not shown) should not prevent the engine fron cranking since it is inline with the ignition side of the ignition switch. @alldodge no good deed goes unpunished!

You have the Volvo EEM system. This is the manual for the one you have. Go to section 7. After you read about it, you will see why I just ditched it in favor of a new Delco Voyager. Volvo only put this system on for 2 years and when you read about it, you will see why. I change mine out BEFORE...

You may have to look at the voltage to your electronic ignition with the key in the on position. Somehow, you are getting voltage while you are cranking but not when the ignition is in the start position. You have the same exact engine/drive in the boat I just sold. I actually pulled the...

What year is this engine? Smartcraft sensor? Really hard to believe that an exhaust flapper would be causing a water pressure issue without causing WAY more other issues like overheating and/or poor engine performance.

The electric choke heater is powered by an AC port off of the alternator. Check the voltage at the choke heater to see if you have AC voltage there.

I only buy radial trailer tires. Only way I could imagine buying bias tires if I only drove 100 miles total a year.

You actually may have an oil cooler. You can typically follow one of the lines from the remote oil filter to see if it goes to a cooler.

Depends on the year and the engine model. My Volvo Penta 7.4L had an oil cooler. I actually had to change mine since it leaked and I lost all my engine oil.

All those pieces that are under water...if you are only overheating at idle, they aren't your issue. The volvo manual states that you should remove the hose feeding the thermostat and you should have an inch of head at that point with the hiose vertical. mercruiser actually ahs a test where...

The part on the left is a scraeder valve stem cover.

A weight distributing hitch puts some weight back onto the front axle which was removed by putting the heavy tongue weight on the back of the truck. Makes handling WAY better since the front axle weight isn't too light anymore.

I knew what you meant! :)

I have electric over hydraulic with disc brakes. I would never have drum brakes again if I ever put my boat in salt water and that includes electric drum brakes. On my pontoon trailer I still have drum surge and replaced the crappy TieDown unit. It failed after 6 years. I replaced it with a...

Air bags do NOTHING for your payload. In fact, they reduce it by the weight of the bags themselves. If you have too much tongue weight for a dead weight hitch, you need a weigh distributing hitch. I wouldn't even consider towing a a 14K boat without a weight distributing hitch....even with a 1T...

If it pings, you can always retard the spark a bit. I doubt it will but keep that in mind.

I gave it to you already. They are available all over the place.

And the fenders. Actually not a bad plan because you can still use this trailer. The problem will be figuring out how far to move them.

Pull your drive every year like you are supposed to.
