    Parts lists with part numbers

    It should be VP Part No. 3586326. What aftermarket brands / part nos. also work i do not know. At one point i got told a Goodyear Gatorback 4060990 would work. I do not recall it if it was too large or small, but did not work. I used to use the iBoats parts store as the master part no...

    1999 Volvo Penta 4.3 - no reading on temperature gauge

    I’m not familiar with this design but looks ok. Hopefully others will chime in. Get yourself an IR gun > they are inexpensive (u don’t need a high end one) and a good diagnostic tool to have. Also if u do not mind: start another post under “Other > iBoats Fourm and Website Issues “ on how you...

    12V battery system - adding ACR

    @SlipperyOar: I was reviewing some of my notes and posts on ACRs and realized that I made a mistake in my post #4. I had assumed your engine's alternator output well exceeded 12 amps, hence my comment / concern. I now see you originally posted the output of it is a max of 10A which I missed...

    That is AWESOME! Congrats! Did this also solve the need to jump the pump issue?

    2009 4.3 gxi-j cant get it over 3k rpms

    Any thoughts as to the engine not coming up to temp or the ECM is not seeing the correct temp and limiting fuel?

    5.7gs low oil pressure

    That is good news but, wow, 50 to 60 at idle seems excessively high and more associated with the WOT. Typo?

    Automatic Bilge not running

    thanks. good point. my initial concern was underfused for the pump and hence why blown. So does that translate into using a 15A if 14 gauge wire or 20A if 12 Ga?

    Help with wiring diagram!

    JDamery, I have studied your wiring diagram and frankly its difficult to make sense of it, one issue is I cannot tell what all the devices are. And given the comments above coupled with your strong desire to do it correctly and be conservative, I suggest you reach out to an ABYC Certified Marine...

    Automatic Bilge not running

    Per their instruction manual (link) on page 21, every 500 GPH unit running on a 12V system has a max of 2.5Amps so 5A fuse is good :)

    1999 Volvo Penta 4.3 GL - No fuel pump or crank

    Short answer yes. Longer answer if you do not find anything obvious improvise as you have done with the fuel pump. That way you keep enjoying the rest of the season and during the off season pursue the multiple wiring issues you do have. It’s all solvable, just takes some time and logic 😊

    2009 4.3 gxi-j cant get it over 3k rpms

    In addition to above, here are some of off the wall thoughts: Validate the throttle plate fully opens when the throttle is fully forward. Is there lots of belt dust all over the engine compartment? The flame arrestor may be restricted and needs cleaning. Try running without it. Does it rev in...

    1977 Ford 302 Rebuild Tips and Advice

    I had to look up what a 1977 Carver Santa Cruz was. Cool boat with a great personal history. And what a fun project. This is something you can pass along to your kids and keep this piece of history going. I am envious! In brief there is really no difference in building a marine vs. non-marine...

    Gurgling coming from exhaust

    Ah, ok so understand better now. And no longer an issue about the gurgling sound > case closed. And sounds like there will be no issues with the overheat since you caught it in time and did not need to run that way. Given you have checked from the outdrive to the pump, this is a mystery. So...

    Gurgling coming from exhaust

    Need some help understanding the conditions and what you are observing. If I were to guess it’s this: You have the motor running (at idle) on muffs and pull of (one at a time) the Raw Water hose to the manifold. Between the time you pull it off and shove it back on you are hearing (seeing?)...

    Beeps when battery turned on

    Laneman: can we go back to your original symptoms of 10 and 12.5 volts? How was this measured? Even if it was ‘an unreliable’ helm gauge does not explain the beeping. Here is a suggestion to determine all is sound on the in-situ battery / alternator front > using your Fluke attach it to the...

    While I do not know, I can suggest this: get an already rebuilt one at this link or you can email him your question > I believe he will answer. I have used him in the past (as have many others) as well as asked for guidance. I have found him to be responsive and his product as advertised and...

    Bilge Pumps Not Working

    Gents, regarding coupling together 2 bilge pumps into a single overboard output, here is a link with more info from a post back in 2010. @Lpgc > best to start a new post on this topic, suggest the subject line be something akin to “2 Bilge Pumps using a single outlet: good idea or bad?” You...
