Re: Proper winterizing

Does anyone have any videos of the proper way to winterize an inboard engine. I've done many I/O. But no inboards. I had a 10 meter Trojan Express? with twin 454, and it a closed loop system. I am in WV it got cold here so this is what I did, and it worked for the 15 yrs or so I had the boat. Shut ...

Generator help, you guys were always good to me in the past

I have a 2006 Kohler 7.3 e marine genny in the my boat. It starts and runs fine, makes good water, good ele...

Re: Emergency Start

and one more thing, and not to be a know it all, but this flipped me out for a while when I first got my trojan. It would not start, would not fire, would not do anything when I went to start it.

Re: Emergency Start

on mine, it works like an internal jump starter, that is if the port engine battery wont fire, hit and hold the emergency start switch, and try to see if it will fire (the switch jumps over the starboard engine battery and runs it to the port).

thanks guys, I did get it to hit with a shot of ether. I will take the pump off and clean the filter and retrry. Before I do this I am going to crank while holding the pump, to see if I feel anything in the pump, ie that it is getting power.

Took the fuel line off at the carb, not showing any fuel there when I go to start. I took the fuel line off at the fuel pump, no fuel spitting out of it!! I check and make s...
