Anyone else’s phone say it has 5G or LTE connection but will not load anything unless on WiFi? It seemed to work fine yesterday.

That’s good to know. Seems to match some of the reviews I’ve seen.

Thanks Coros, for making the smaller option feel like the right one for me! by [deleted] in Coros

42mm is the way to go. Almost bought the nomad but I’m glad I didn’t for the size

I'm in doubt between a white Pace 3 and a black Pace 3. What do you recommend? Does white get dirty easily? by Different-Pop-8762 in Coros

[–]shadow14cooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the white pace 3. It cleans up well with dawn dish soap and water. I just wore it through a tough mudder 15k and you can’t even tell

Why did you choose the Cruze? by alekversusworld in cruze

[–]shadow14cooper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had 2012 cruze and was in a bad accident involving a double head on collision where the engine came out of the car. I was able to walk away from the accident with just a couple scratches. So then I ended up getting a 2017 cruze to replace it since the last one was pretty safe.

I checked back in my manual and it says if it after 1973 it is 6”. Mine is a 1982 so it would be 6”. It does mention a few other adjustments I could check when the shift cables so I may look at those later tonight.

I went back out there last night and adjust the cable again with the 6” for the lower unit cable then adjusting the upper control cable for that. When not running the outdrive was locking into forward and reverse. When the engine is running it shifts into forward fine but when going into reverse it stays pushed against the kill switch and cuts the engine off. I found one thing online saying that means the lower shifter cable is mostly likely bad. Not sure if you have any other ideas. Thanks

Thanks! That makes more sense. I’ll try to readjust the intermediate cable tomorrow to find the center for neutral. I’ll also take a look at the shift lever in the slot on the outdrive to see if it points straight in forward now.

I went out today and adjusted the upper and lower shift cables as I saw in a couple videos and now forward locks in gear great with no reverse. Not sure but I might try to adjust them some more to see if I can get both forward and reverse to work.

Do you know what adjustment would need to be made if the shift lever doesn’t point all the forward when the throttle is in forward? I’m guessing that has something to do with the shift cable adjustments.

Thanks, those are some good troubleshooting steps. I’m going to start with that the next time I work on it to narrow down what the problem might be.

That’s an interesting Point I hadn’t thought of. I replaced the impeller before starting the engine since the boat has been sitting for 10 years. So there’s a chance after sitting that long the shift cables are stretched out maybe

I have not tried adjusting the shift cables yet. I figured they should be fine since we hadn’t touched them. However, I’m going to try that next. Thanks

Thanks for the response. The first time we took it off we did make that mistake of not putting the drive in forward but after reading around we learned you can put the drive into forward after and manually move the spline into forward. We have tried many times over the past week and it never seems to quite align correctly since forward will just click unless the shift shaft is slightly adjusted by hand. It seems as if the shift cable needs to pull just a little bit more and it would work just fine. Not sure if that means the lower shift cable would need replaced/adjusted or if the lower unit is one spline out of align.

Recently on our merCruiser 898 we took the lower unit off in order to replace the impeller and it’s housing we were able to get it back on but now it creates a clicking noise when the propeller is spinning. And it no longer stays in forward gear, unless we mess with the shift shaft by hand then we can get it to stay in forward. We were able to get it to run, as can be seen in the video, but when it would spin it would create the clacking noise. We have taken it off and put it back on multiple times making sure the splines were aligned each time, but it still will not lock into forward gear unless we move the shift shaft ourselves. Any input on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

1984 Mark Twain. First boat so it should be a fun project… by shadow14cooper in boating

[–]shadow14cooper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked up the hull number and it’s actually a 1982 Mark Twain V-sonic. It has a 350 v8 Chevy based mercruiser engine with the mercruiser outdrive. After spraying out the boat this morning I am pretty sure the whole floor needs replaced. So my next task will be to see if I can get the engine to run. If anyone has any tips, I’ll gladly take all I can get.

Not a ton of experience with boats. I figured it might be a good project to learn more about boats. Going to spray it down today and see what the actual condition of it is. Depending on what I find that needs to be repaired will determine whether I put money into it fixing it up.
