    Electrical nightmare

    Where are you purchasing your switches from? Are you measuring with something like a volt meter (that will read 12 volts easily without a load) or a test light with an incandescent bulb (that will draw some current)?

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

    1986 vintage- I’d be changing both sooner rather than later

    1995 ProV 150 max RPM 3600

    New ‘to you boat’ or have you had the boat for a while and it just started this? What tach? Correct setting?

    1995 ProV 150 max RPM 3600

    Anything funky with the old plugs? Compression test numbers? Spark on all leads?

    Oil injection tank

    Serial number? Look up the parts diagram of your engine and see what part you are referring to in the oil tank diagram

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

    I’m sure of your setup, but if it is like my 7.4s and in-line gears, I know I can pull the velvet drives out without pulling the engines on my boat. Disconnect shaft couplers and slide shaft towards the stern to see what kind of clearance you would have. If there is room, put a bottle jack under...

    1996 maxum 2400SCR. 5.7L V8 runs

    Is there gas in it? Just because the gauge says so, does not necessarily mean there is, especially on a new to you boat

    Bad compression test on 4 & 6 cylinders

    Simply put, in order for an engine to run you need a process to happen repeatedly. In a 4 stroke engine without getting too complicated, in each cylinder you get suck, squeeze, bang, blow - coordinated with the other cylinders in the engine. Suck is where the gas and air mixture goes into the...

    Bad compression test on 4 & 6 cylinders

    Did you do a bad compression test on cylinders 4 and 6 and are just bragging about it? Did you get a bad report from someone doing a compression test on cylinders 4 and 6? Relative to what?

    Need help if anyone has advice

    Bite the bullet and pull the motor. There is a crack somewhere and only way you are finding it is a tear down. Especially if the season is short where you live, as long as the other motor that you found checks out, drop that in and then decide if you want to go through rebuilding yours
