    BIG CHECKMATES ?????

    hybrids are only good in cars! not to mention that that the battery puts out to close to 400v. dont think i want that around me on the water. and there is no real good way to recharge them on the water. the hybrids use a combo of brakes, coasting by use of the wheels, and generator to...

    Checkmates on the Chesapeake Bay?

    instatrim solenoid

    can the port or starboard side of the pump solenoids go bad and cause a short? I can hear the motor working but the tabs do not move? I'd much rather replace solenoids than a whole pump assy. I checked the whole wiring harness and found no shorts, disconnected the auto tab retracter...
