  1. length of boat for aprx. weight & total wide open throttle rpm's?
  2. How's the fishing your way?
  3. What Dave said is correct. The prop for an "aq model drive" does have a pressed hub in the propeller.
  4. Winterizing, Shrink Wrapping, storage indoor & out (limited indoor) and off season repair work (outdrives, o/b lower units, I/b velvet drive service & rebuilding etc on all makes). On site & limited off site winterizing & wrapping. PM me for details & phn.#
  5. I'd ck the prop 1st for a spun hub. If you have a spare try that one on it before you go any farther. Also ck that the shift cable is fully engaging at the drive. That done if you still have the problem it is probably in the upper section of the drive. Volvo uses a cone type shifting mechanism in the upper unit unlike m/c or omc, for forward & reverse. If that be the problem take it to a competent marine shop as they do require special tools to replace & achieve the correct tolerances. Not a job for the home mechanic unfortunately.
  6. Na Waste oil heater in the cold months, but ya got me pegged on the A/C. You can have the HVAC job. I'll stick with fixin what ya break.
  7. Good deal I'll be down over the weekend.
  8. Many thanks to all for the good wishes, it's people like yourselves that make this the best site out there.

  11. News to me. Have used an 840 probe with an 800 head many times and vice versa. Actually when the 840 unit came out if you bought a replacement probe for an 800 they sent the newer style 840 probe.

  13. Here's the article: http://www.ludingtondailynews.com/news. ... y_id=45793
  14. Rick that's normal for the year. It's a typical early style o/b charging system. Stator has a separate low voltage charge coil built in that runs to a rectifier that changes a/c voltage to d/c. The higher the rpm's the more d/c voltage increases to the battery. Charge coil in the stator only put's out a limited voltage at higher rpm's. Hence no per say voltage regulator only a diode style rectifier (not a resistor) to convert a/c to d/c as well as blocking reverse flow from battery when engine is not running.
  15. Bet it has a 25 Merc on it. Looks like the boy is havin a good time
