    Port Engine making clicking sound but not starting

    It was lose connections at the battery. They were also super corroded and dirty. Got it all cleaned up and started right up. Hookup1 you are absolutely right: need to slow down. Glad it wasnt anything else and now I have some spare parts LOL

    Tilt trim unit removal

    I am down to the last bolt on the bottom. I have removed the two security clips on either end. Is it one bolt that just needs to be loosened and pushed out to one side or the other?

    What batteries?

    With engines off we are really just talking about the sound system….sand bars etc. I would rather have access power and spend more on the batteries up front. Is the deka 27m6 overkill?

    Tank Replacement (New Member)

    The tilt/trim units are leaking out of the seals. I can clearly see it under pressure. Why are you asking? Do you think just replacing the seals maybe the way to go? I got a quote from Five Star Marine and they anticipate it costing close to $1K per unit for complete rebuild. I only want to use...
