    Gauges n dash

    Want to redo dash and gauges. Looking for ideas on cool setups. Any pics and input for gauges that are friendly or to stay away from would be appreciated. Photo is of the current state of things. 2001 so not sure if I can use any gauges or if I?m limited.

    Holding Tank Pump Out

    Going to try and run a small 3/8 line into the tank from the pump out spot on the platform. It looks like the routing is pretty good through the Y valve to go straight into the tank. It?s below but I?m hoping I can run through. Been having issue with the tank level getting stuck. I?m trying to...

    1995 34pc fuel system

    I’m helping a friend work on his 502s, yesterday we were running fine and she slowly lost rpm n died. It seems to be a fuel issue on the mechanical pump, I’m thinking the lobe on the mechanical side is no good on the sea water pump, but that’s another issue. Does anyone have a fuel diagram for...

    SS air conditioner circulator

    Hello All, happy summer! So I replaced my air conditioner water circulation pump for the raw water in 2015. It's now toast again. It's not the electric or the motor but the plastic magnetic impeller part. I have the new one on order but I'm wondering if it's the right one that is supposed to be...

    Hello all!! That time of year again. Question. There are 3 drain plugs on the back of a 400ss. Right, left and center. Where does the center one go? The left n right are obvious. The center, not so much. I put a camera in to try and see but I can't see in. Unless I'm missing something...

    Let's see how smart you are when it comes to these engines.

    You go out to your Formula boat. It's a Volvo penta setup with 8.1s 375hp. Open the engine compartment because you have a strong smell of gas. The sniffer isn't alerting, I have no idea why not, the bilge pump isn't going on (it's fried) and the bilge is full of oil. You dip something into...

    Why I don't like marine mechanics.....

    A friend of mine at my marina had an issue with his fuel cool system. Pulled it apart there was a plastic part in it that was broken and some threading that was messed up. Thought there might have been an issue with paint coming off and into the lines and clogging up the fuel system. Instead of...
