  1. I didn't realize you were unfamiliar with the boat and/or how the trim/tilt system works on a Mercruiser, Lively. The way it was worded I assumed this was a problem that had just occurred and you were asking why. Good to see your all set.
  2. If it works off the trailer there is nothing the matter with the solenoid. It's the same one for tilt or trailer
  3. Trim limit switch on the outdrive is bad and or not adjusted properly. Common on M/C & when it happens most just use the trailer button.
  4. Good to hear Eric
  5. If it's a Volvo or Later model OMC you will be ok, but replace it asap. Earlier Volvo covers are prone to loosening up if the lock tabs/bolts aren't tightened properly.
  6. Boat has been sold
  7. Pull your installation manual out or pull it offline from the Simrad site & go thu the installation, commissioning & sea trial settings again. Should solve your problems.
  8. Take Note : The channel has NOT been dug yet this year. Smaller boats can probably squeak thu ok like Chowder did with his 16.5' on the east side but I wouldn't try to navigate it with anything much bigger until it's dug.
  9. The person in question enjoyed a very short stay here on LOU I'm afraid.
  10. A simple search of Bag Lady would show you that Earl has been a respected member here since 2008.
  11. That's a matter of opinion too.
  12. Big Jon pulleys work very well & at a reasonable cost too. Large radius so there is no line bind & you don't have to worry about the line getting caught between the pulley & housing like you would on others.
  13. Keep the boat the way it is, sell the V-8 for $500 & buy some more tackle. You'll be money way ahead. All kidding aside. There is much more to it than just switching engines around as in automotive. You will need a host of relatively expensive parts to convert the engine itself to marine cooling etc.. as well as exhaust parts to adapt to the cobra transom plate, shift linkage, cables, & the misc. list will go on & on. The gear ratio is different than what you have now for your 3.0L engine too.
  14. They were a good unit in there day, unfortunately they are no longer being made by Raymarine in any form. The Sport Pilot, Spx-5r or the latest Evo version they had out are no longer in production & no plans to reintroduce them either. Simrad makes a good wheel pilot now or the other option for cable steer boats is to go with an octopus type R drive or there type S wheel drive & a pilot of your choice.
  15. There is really no need to pull a drive apart unless it is showing signs of an issue such as water intrusion, excessive metallic in the fluid etc. I do recommend the fluid be changed every season and the drive itself pulled every other to ck engine alignment , grease u-joints, input shaft (coupler) splines & ck bellows.
  16. What your looking at behind the prop is actually another anode. The two 5/16 headed bolts on either side hold it in place. Also use the magnesium anodes instead of the common zink style when you replace them.
  17. Mercs are up to and including 30hp Tim, as well as the full Nissan line, they are also supplying all of OMC's ( Evinrude's ) small engine's from the 3.5 to 15hp.
