So I decided to take another look at the poppet valve and the spring. I took everything off to get at it and when I took the housing off I don’t see the valve! When I was working on it I was rushing and trying to get it done in the dark with a drop light and it must have slipped out when I was...

I adjusted the oil linkage only because I read about what it should be, and found that motor's adjustment to be out of spec. The gap was about .25" instead of the .02" spec causing the motor to use way to much oil. I was not expecting it to, nor did it, change any of the symptoms. Thanks, Dave

OK, so i changed the thermostats and poppet valve (pressure control valve) on the motor that is overheating while idling on hose. They were all pretty corroded and needed cleaning/replacing. (Also replaced the hose from poppet to block and connector to block as they broke while removing poppet...

Thanks for the replys. I believed it to be overheart because of the type of alarm and tach indication. Pee hose was clean, I did stick a small gauge wire up in the hole and no change. Head was hot around top cylinder, on starboard side of engine. Did not compare one side to the other. I believe...

After doing some reading I am thinking thermostat and/or poppit need replaced.

Hi all. I have 2- 2002- 150 hpdi's which had rebuilt powerheads installed by previous owner and have less than 20 hours. I rebuilt both waterpumps with all new parts. One engine (starboard) has given me an alarm on muffs once but not when on the water. Today the one engine (starboard) gave a...

does the switch have an amp rating?

I ordered them in September and got them in about a week. Very nicely made.

Saw this on hull truth....tackle storage system in the rod holder cut out in the gunnel http://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-how ... nters.html I sure am interested in trying this.

In my opinion, the screw out plates don't work very well for floors as they have indentions in the top for turning them which are hard to walk on and hold water.

Looks like most is working. Ordered 2 new wiper motors, horn doesn't work, but if i connect it directly to battery 12 volts it works. Bad connection somewhere, I haven't had time to troubleshoot it yet. Thanks, Dave

Found a loose ground wire in a wire harness connector. Thanks for the help.

I will definately check the grounds. I have the generic outline from grady about the wire runs, nothing too specific. just wish I knew which accessories shared ground and where those connections were located. Making progress on the refurb, believe this or not the original fresh water and raw...

On my 1989 Sailfish I am trying to repair the issues I have with the wiring that feeds the nav lights, wipers and horn. Any one have any information about accessing these wires without ripping out ALL the overhead liner/carpet? If I knew how they were routed it would make it so much easier to...

Baitwell has pump connected, was thinking about an additional (smaller) aerator pump to use either with or instead of running washdown/baitwell pump continuously, or when trailering. So it would be an additional, dedicated pump. Thanks

Re: 1989 fishbox drain hose replacement...HELP?? Well i got these and the fitting would stick up about 1/4" in the fishbox if I used it, so not a very good option for a drain. Any ideas?

Re: 1989 fishbox drain hose replacement...HELP?? I found these online and ordered them tonight for 1989 252 sailfish fish box. " SPANER HEAD THRU-HULLS, 3/4" and 1 1/8" (TH-7590S, TH-1290S) - For those hard to reach applications that may or may not require low clearance. This spaner head...

Ok. So I figured out access to all thru hull hoses except how in the world do I reach the (starboard) fish box drain? Anyone have any tips? I'm thinking the only option is to cut access hole but where? Maybe right in the cooler next to the drain? Any thoughts? Thanks, Dave
