mystery after about one hour harbor cruise 1000rpm or less port engine stalls shows maybe 8v at dash emergency power engaged but not held engine starts all is well currently all checks out new Victron shunt no loose wires, voltages seem correct (charger,alternator, at rest) batteries are agm 3 years...

good point

Marine Parts Source has a good youtube video on how to check the gauge and sending unit

Trojan 10 meter
Same problem
I drilled a hole with a hole saw, saved the core and then repaired.
I have cork decking so repair is not seen

Finally I may have some useful information. I have a 4mcck and have been fighting with it for years. I think I finally have it dialed in. Mine has 3 sensors, oil pressure, block temperature, exhaust temperature, if there is a problem with any one it will shut down the ignition. BTW I recently chased...

not a fan of those diagonal stripes
sanded them off a while ago
still debating what to do with the stripes below the sheer line

can't thank you enough
the plan is to do the trim tabs, the transducer, and the blackwater thru hull

thx I have given it some thought and I agree with you, no marelon. I am curious about the backing plate The current valve seems as if it was bolted to the backing plate before it was installed, when I turn one of the nuts the bolt turns with it. (probably a flat head machine screw) I will probably h...

thank you
just a few questions
what model number and size valve?
was the old backing plate easy to remove?
how thick is the new backing plate and how is it secured to the hull?
any thoughts on forespar marelon?
thx

trim tab port side the part of the hinge that attached to the transom has pulled away 50% probably pulling out some screws with it also there is a large hole in that part Brian at Leveler thinks corrosion, but the large part in the water seems fine It seems as if these are attached with wood screws ...

recurring problem the genset is not picking up fuel from the tank I removed the fuel line and put it in my outboard fuel tank to test, no problem. I attached a hose to the tank fitting and blew into it and I heard bubbles. I believe the tank is half full and the problem has to do with the pick up tu...

If I have to pull the boat out of the water to fix my trim tab leak I want to replace
the blackwater thru hull at the same time
does anyone know the specs for this?
probably easiest if I replace it with the same kind
thx

turns out I was wrong
the leak is coming from the trim tab
not sure what the fix is yet

I have a leak where the bottom bolt of the port side swim step bracket passes thru the transom. It looks like I am going to have to grind the bolt and nut from the inside and then hammer the bolt out. All of this is inches below the water line. Can I fix this while the boat is in the water? My conce...

I wound up putting the relay between the breaker and the vacuum switch
It was more difficult to do than between the vacuum switch and the pump
but for some reason that escapes me now I though that was a better way.
Bottom line is it works perfectly and no fears of the pump running endlessly.

can't tell much from that close up photo one thing to consider is the strength of the hinges If you have a gas spring on one side only the hinges will have to be able to handle that Also on its own a gas spring is either fully opened or fully closed I don't know if you will be able to have a spring ...
