A large problem here that needs alls help if you have an idea. after a yr of restoring my 10.8 I am down to the toilet. Original equipment was the totally expensive vacuum flush toilet. like 5000.00 the parts were stolen off the boat before I purchased it. SO, my first idea is to install a macerator...

so far Ive found nothing that will work. my last resort to the salon area is install wood. (cabinet and furniture maker for 30yrs i was) I will continue to try other things and will let everyone know what I come up with.

thanks for all the help

Hello, I first want to thank everyone for the help. I started at the helm with a meter----everything was hot. traced the cables down to the engine room. once there I changed the solenoid just because I had one and tested it-----nothing hot. started tracing the wires back. the solution to my start bu...

Hey all, Looking for better ideas on cleaning the walls of my 10.8. The cloth is original and in need of a good cleaning. Ive used carpet cleaner and a couple of other things to no avail. Dont really want to replace it but will if someone can point me in the right direction. Ive even thought of dyin...

yes, the starter button must be momentary. the problem is: original switch has four spades and (if i remember correctly) 8 total wires coming in and out. I cant find a 4 spaded toggle, pushbutton or rocker switch that has 4 spades for all the wires to hook to. so I am trying to find out can and how ...

Hey everyone---Its the guy with to many questions and heres another for all. As some know the push button momentary start buttons have 4 spades on the back. Grouped wires of purple, purple with stripe, yellow and yellow with strip. Question is: if a guy was to install a new push button what is the l...

oh yes, what was wrong with the transmission;:::::::: the engine was running at to slow of an idle (300rpm) so the trany rattled, clanked or what ever you want to call it. By raising the idle to 600rpms it slipped in and out with no sound at all. NO REBUILD!!!!!!!!!!!!! After working so hard on the ...

Thanks for the information. My boat with size, motors, being a sportfish and so forth It comes down to the 1.88 to 1. It also helped that a velvet drive mach happened to show up at the marina.LoL. But he told me my boat (size, motors, style etc.) only came with two choices of trany. Looking at them ...

well I figured out a couple of things. the 71-1017's are rated for up to 310hp. the 72-1018's are rated for up to 475hp. I have 350hp so that puts me in the 72-1018's. now for solving the ratio

I have an 89 trojan 10.8 m International Sedan (sportfish). 454's
I can find no tags on the velvet drives. How do I determine the gear ratio so I can replace the port trany?

I tried the pb blaster. I got 3 to work. now I must share where I found new ones and the price. I had to drimell tool the round holes out to accomodate new square switches. it took 47 min to do 14 of them. the Case of the switch is the same size as the old ones. they are made by the same company Mar...

New here so any help I can get will be app...
