The way the tensioner works is you loosen the bolt on the tensioner, allow it to tension the belt and then you tighten back up. If you don't the tensioner pulley will be loose and not be in alignment causing your belt to move like it is.

If the boat is plugged into shore power, I can see the problem. If a boat is not plugged in, there really should be no issue. I may be adding an outlet on my dock and I would definitely do a voltage check to see if there was stray current.

I think the monster hunks of stainless steel props are more of an issue. Fortunately, I am in fresh water 100% so not much of an issue.

My boat is in Lake Tahoe where the warmest the water gets is 65°F. Those temperature stickers sound interesting. Where do you get them at? I was thinking about putting some wireless BBQ probes on it to see what it gets up to.

Are they really necessary? My new to me Cobalt has a 350HP 6.2L on a 26' boat. Not a barn burner and I will run it under 4000RPM 99% of the time.

Another thing you can do if you are missing the C wire is to just wire up the fan at the heater to come on when the heat comes on. I rarely use the fan by itself and then you can repurpose the fan wire to become your C wire.

1994 is the transition year between the Cobra and the Cobra SX which are two completely different drives. Cobra SX is the joint venture with Volvo drive. If you could post a picture, that would be best to determine what drive you have. Even better would be a model number. Just because you have a...

I agree. I would do that as well.

Just so you know, when you fill up the drive from the bottom and the oil exits the vent hole behind the cover, that pretty much puts it dead on in the middle.

Make sure you replace the o-rings on all 3 plugs everytime you change your gear oil.

That is correct.

It's very little but I can't give you an exact number. What you don't do is screw it in and then screw it out to read it. You unscrew, wipe it off drop it in and then pull it out and read it. Should be right in the middle.

Looks like you have a 2006 engine. Like I said before, it has been completely changed from a 95.

Yep. I remebr those white Mercruisers.

Looks like the Volvo drive. What engine?

Even 25W would work. All you are trying to do is keep i above freezing temps.

That is definitely not the original engine. Original engine had a different raw water pump and V-belts vs your serpentine belt. Original raw water pump was belt driven. Your original engine was a charcoal grey...not black. It's dark but it is not black. Anyone who has actually owned a Volvo of...

I am actually selling my boat in the next couple days. I will record the sound if I have a chance before its gone.

Have a picture of the engine? Where is the raw water pump mounted? What makes you think its a Gi-F?

Run away. Find a boat with a Mercruiser or a Volvo drive.
