Which obviously doesn't make any sense. I would venture to say there is an internal problem with the wiring and the mercury switch inside the float... Time for a new float!

If you look under the lower pan of the powerhead just behind the tilt tube, you'll see a circular "switch" with a spring loaded arm on it. This is the device that tells your trim indicator where your motor is at, trim-wise. These arms get hung up due to corrosion and gunk. With the motor...

Richie, You do what you HAVE to do to make sure that your name is not tarnished at some point in time... To many builders are out after the high profit margin (trust me I know, the average genset install costs us $5K max, yet we charge $10K). Lower the profit margin, still make money, and a...

And GW would be considered "Top Tier" in the production world...

Believe it or not, one of the best ways to prevent gel cracks from drill hole is once the hole is drilled, take your apex screw bit and c'sink rthe hole through the gel with that. I've worked for Wellcraft, Hydra-sports, Intrepid, Stamas Yacht, and Proline...they all do it the same way...

Imagine 8 350s on there... :roll:

Anyway the mods here can add some fun smilies, like this one?

When I was at Stamas (hanging mostly Yammis), I used to use an aluminum colored silicone from AIM supply to do that...almost matched the Yammi blue, looked real sharp...

Love it when a plan comes together...

...Creating a Magnetic Field? :shock:

My can says "Petroleum Distallates"...is that fish oil? :shock:

Richie's right. Actually, any good marine polyurethane sealant/adhesive will do, 5200/4200, Sikaflex, Boatlife, Bostic 920... :D

ATF...yeah, that's right, auto tranny fluid...
