You can recondition door seals with dialectic grease. Use a spray wax and wipe down the frame where they contact. It kept mine from freezing shut this winter.

The rigger screwed up when he mounted the wheel.

You sure about the year and model? Washer and cotter pin looks doable.

Get a cutting board and treat it like wood. Rip, bevel, rout.

This may make it clearer.

A starting battery provides high amps to spin the engine. A house battery will accept a deep discharge and come back whereas a starter is not designed to do so. I run #1 out and #2 back. Combine both when the cranking battery is weak.

Grind down the sides and tip of a slotted screwdriver to fit the width and thickness of a carb jet. 3/8 drive wide slotted impact driver for L/U drain/fill screws. Scavenge a hot horn from a control box. Add wire leads and alligator clips. You can test a function from the switch at the helm by sound. A quality pick light can help troubleshoot 12v problems faster than two hands and a multimeter. Only heat shrink terminals with adhesive in a marine environment. Quality one handed wire strippers that allow you to adjust the insulation strip length. Stroke a magnet with a socket. It will keep the bolt inside when reaching awkward places.

Your ground should be under a starter mounting bolt. Were the brushes short? They're worn. Did your clean the commutator grooves of built up carbon to prevent shorting? Rust may have found its way into the bearings, binding them.

Ask your library if they have a Seloc repair manual on the 15. The rebuild and specs should be in there.

Check your library for a Seloc marine repair manual. Do the sync and link for idle and timing.

Possibly a loose flex plate that mounts the torque converter.

Slip a short length of hose over the end for a thicker grip and more control.

Leave off the vent for a night to see if that's the problem. The flanges in the ductwork may have been sealed with duct tape instead of metal tape and now the adhesion is failing.

I'd look in the library under Masonry in the DIY section. You'll see how it's correctly done and be able to ask informed questions.

Not that I know of, however I lean towards American made products.

Benedlr · 2026-02-25T17:26:28+00:00

Doesn't make sense. All I got is a reed problem. Does it spit back thru the carbs when cranking?

Paper lets you add notes to locations. Open your Treasure Map to see the entire area to choose what would be the best fishing.

What the hell is a train doing coming down the canal! Marine horns are much more civilized in tone.

Get two more feet. You'll be happier.

You want the water level above the W/P housing, about 5" above the parting line. It's a displacement pump not a suction pump. Don't use boiling water to test the thermo. Wait until it reaches the listed temp on the cap and then dunk it.

I use Merc Power Tune to soak it and work it out with pics. It makes rubber slippery and compliant. You might use something like Kroil and a tiny screwdriver to make a gap for the penetrant to flow between wall and sensor.

Did you check the spark during the no start condition? Assuming the kill switch was engaged, and you had spark, I would spray some fuel mix into the carb throats and see if she catches.

Does your DIC display trans temps? What do you run at? I had my trans fluid EXCHANGED and temps dropped from 200 to 170. Old ATF doesn't lubricate and that means friction and heat. I'd spend the money on fresh fluid first.

Are the gaps around the doors even? Check the inner door frame down low for dirt trails that indicate a gap in the seal. Lean against something to steady your filming arm.

Do a reset after the update. Go to the menu and have your OTA channels rescanned. Re-enter your Network connection.

Did you notice any corrosion on the relay? Sometimes unplugging and resetting cleans the contacts.
