    Really strange issue with DPSM trim system - hoping for help

    Hi Lou, yes, it has the same manifold in the gimbal housing as the OMC Cobra did. I followed the lines, and they appear to be connected properly. But if the lines were crossed at the manifold, then when I ran the pump in test 4 and test 5, fluid should have come out something like the port UP...

    Really strange issue with DPSM trim system - hoping for help

    Thanks for the quick reply. The fluid comes out of both down lines on test 5 above when I press the down button. My initial thought was they might be crossed, but when I traced them against pictures and other setups, they seem correct. And with the test having fluid come out of both down...

    Penta SX - new steering cable won’t go through the end of guide tube of power steering

    Well, I finally got it to go through. I lightly tapped the cable clamp part (metal) with a hammer and it popped through. Thank you everyone!

    Penta SX - new steering cable won’t go through the end of guide tube of power steering

    Thank you Scott, I have been trying that for over an hour, maybe I don’t have a socket that is right. I found one the same size as the end of the cable, and tried pushing it in from the other side, but it would not go through from that end either.

    Penta SX - new steering cable won’t go through the end of guide tube of power steering

    Unfortunately I already threw out the old cable. So is the white plastic ring a split ring that can be expanded? Or is it just a matter of perfectly lining it up?

    Penta SX - new steering cable won’t go through the end of guide tube of power steering

    I am trying to install a new steering cable, everything seems right but the end of the cable just won’t go through the white plastic ring at the end of the power steering guide tube. Is there a trick to get it through? Thanks!

    1997 Four Winns 220 Horizon - rotted floor and stringers

    I picked up last fall a 1997 Four Winns 220 Horizon, as my first boat. Mechanically the boat is good, but I knew it had a soft spot on the deck by the ski locker cutout. I've already removed the deck, and found the stringers under that part of the deck also starting to rot. I cut back the...
