    Looking for tips pulling a VP Gen V engine out of boat

    Once the drive is removed it's disconnect anything that attaches it to the hull. You have pretty much listed all that. Many remove the bolts holding the front mounts to stringers, but I just remove the nut on top and leave the mount. In either case have to use alignment bar once motor is...

    Crusader 350 w/ Velvet Transmission: Locked up after brief shutdown

    I hope the bore scoping shows something, but with it being unable to turn by the crowbar in either direction, I'm thinking seized bearing. If a rod broke or crank broke it should still move some if not one direction but would the other even a small amount. Not as bad as a Silverton but did...

    Crusader 350 w/ Velvet Transmission: Locked up after brief shutdown

    Glad your marina guy didn't break the crank shaft bolt Don't know how many times someone has said, put a socket on the crank shaft bolt and see if you can move the motor, then they have yet another problem when it snaps off. Hope they can find and fix the issue at least cost

    Special cable which runs from the Bat direct to PCM connections on the motor I have the Verado and 6.2 EC and both list clean power cables. This is Verado

    Oh and EC motors normally require clean power connections

    Crusader 350 w/ Velvet Transmission: Locked up after brief shutdown

    Motor has to come out because there is a way to disconnect the tranny from the motor in the boat to test, but I don't know of anyone which would want to try it

    Mercruiser 3.0 EFI in 1996 boat

    Wish I had the manual but this is one I don't have Unless another has an idea suggest contacting Merc (920) 929-5200 tech support tomorrow. It most likely will hook up and go, but have seen several go from carb to MPI yes, but carb to MPI EC not yet. There are just more sensors and don't have...

    Mercruiser 3.0 EFI in 1996 boat

    My issue is I'm not 100% sure that your MPI is a EC (CAT exhaust) motor or not. I believe the only 3.0 MPI's were EC motors so I'll just go with it is unless identified otherwise. The EC motors have 6 different service manuals The motor should have a 10 pin CAN connector which provides info to...

    What is the serial number of the 2010
  11. A

    One Perko 8501 Battery Switch with Two 12v batteries and a 100hp Yamaha and t9.9 kicker Sharing the battery bank.

    Diagram #1 will work but; The kicker most likely doesn't have enough of an Alternator to be able to charge both Bats if that is needed. The down riggers shouldn't draw a Bat down enough to worry about. Keep down riggers on Bat 2 and not connected to the switch With Diagram #1 just leave switch...

    fuel leak

    With the much fuel have you sen any white smoke? I would start with pulling injectors and look for a bad O-ring or cracked injector.

    Crusader 350 w/ Velvet Transmission: Locked up after brief shutdown

    While it could be the motor or transmission which could lock the motor. The prop shaft turns easy so that leaves the motor. Motor oil is clean "and note IT IS NOT high" on dipstick Only thing left is the motor

    Check your motor oil level and color

    Volvo Penta 2002 engine oil

    Most the guys on iBoats use 15W40 Diesel oil because it has more zinc in it. With your temps you could use straight 30W
