    Surge brake

    I always check the fluid and replace it periodically since brake fluid tends to absorb moisture. One day one of the brake drums started smoking so I stopped and bled off the fluid. After getting home I pulled the drums and every thing looked good. I stated actuating the master cylinder and...

    Propeller question

    My Donzi has a 14-1/4” X 22” stainless propeller that works perfectly. The only place the pitch is embossed is on the front under the thrust collar. I was trying to figure what series the propeller is. The boat runs 70 @ 5000 on GPS.

    My rating

    Blue plastic drain plugs.

    Yesterday I finished installing the 6.2 MPI after having the transom replaced on my DONZI. While looking for any leaks I saw a stream under the large circulating pump hose. I touched the plug and it fell apart. Not a good thing to happen in the water. The broken shell comes out easy with a...

    Power trim 2008 140 suzuki 4 stroke.

    A friend asked me if I had any knowledge about the trim electrical system. I have no experience with these outboards. The trim goes down and the only for it to go up is to by-pass the up relay to the blue wire that goes to the motor. Is there a trim limit switch on the engine that may be...

    6.2 fuel injection problem

    I recently purchased a 18' Donzi 6.2 MPI that will not go over 3k RPM. The sea water pump impeller is new, the fuel injectors have been flow tested, the 93 gas is ethanol free and the tank was drained. The Cool fuel pump was removed and the screen was inspected and was clean. The fuel filters...
