AOSmith 1hp lift motor starts then trips breaker , any ideas?, thants
There are a few possible reasons why your AOSmith 1hp lift motor starts and then trips the breaker:
- Overload: The motor may be overloaded and drawing too much current. Check the load on the motor and make sure it is within the motor's capacity.
- Short Circuit: A short circuit could be causing the motor to draw too much current and trip the breaker. Check the wiring for any signs of damage or wear.
- Faulty Motor: The motor itself could be faulty and causing the overload or short circuit. Check the motor windings for any signs of damage or wear.
- Tripped Thermal Overload: The motor may have a thermal overload switch that shuts off the motor if it gets too hot. Check the motor for any signs of overheating and reset the thermal overload switch if necessary.
- Faulty Breaker: The breaker itself could be faulty and tripping prematurely. Check the breaker for any signs of wear or damage.
It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician or motor technician to diagnose and fix the issue, as working with electricity can be dangerous if not done properly.

Yes, there is a coolant drain valve on a 600 ACE ET Ski-Doo. It is typically located on the bottom of the engine block, and it can be opened to allow coolant to drain out of the system. However, the exact location of the drain valve may vary depending on the year and model of your Ski-Doo, so it is always a good idea to consult your owner's manual or a repair manual for specific instructions.

Having trouble with sliding leg into housing keeps knocking into neutral at 3/4 way up. Doesn't align. Evinrude 140hp vro
It sounds like you may be having issues with the shift linkage or the gearcase on your Evinrude 140hp VRO outboard motor.
The sliding leg may be hitting something or getting caught on something as you try to slide it into the housing. This could cause it to go into neutral or prevent it from aligning properly.
Here are some possible steps to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check for any obstructions or debris that may be blocking the sliding leg from fitting into the housing. Remove any debris if found.
- Check the shift linkage for any damage or looseness. The linkage connects the shift handle to the transmission and could be causing the issue if it's worn or out of adjustment. Adjust or replace the linkage if necessary.
- Check the gearcase for any damage or wear. The gearcase contains the gears that drive the propeller, and if it's damaged or worn, it could cause shifting issues. If you suspect the gearcase is damaged, it's best to have a professional mechanic take a look.
- Lubricate the shift mechanism with marine grease or oil. This can help smooth out any rough spots and make it easier to shift.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be best to have a professional mechanic take a look at your outboard motor to diagnose and repair the problem.
Where is the light fuse on a 1995 lowe boat 30 hp evinrude
The light fuse on a 1995 Lowe boat with a 30 hp Evinrude outboard motor may be located in different places depending on the boat's wiring and electrical system. However, the most common location for the light fuse is in the boat's fuse panel or in-line with the light wiring near the switch. You can refer to the boat owner's manual or wiring diagram for specific details on the location of the light fuse. If you don't have access to the manual, you may need to inspect the boat's wiring system or consult a marine electrician to help locate the fuse.

How to program frequency 8113.5 on my Furuno FSS1503 Single Sideband Radio Telephone?
To program a specific frequency on the Furuno FSS1503 Single Sideband Radio Telephone, you can follow these steps:
- Press the Power button to turn on the radio.
- Press the Frequency button to select the desired frequency range (HF, MF, or VHF).
- Use the arrow keys to select the desired frequency (8113.5 kHz in this case).
- Press the Enter button to confirm the frequency selection.
If the frequency is not working, there may be other factors affecting the radio's performance, such as interference, atmospheric conditions, or a faulty antenna. It is recommended to use an antenna coupler or tuner to optimize the radio's performance and ensure proper transmission and reception. If you are still experiencing issues, you may need to consult a professional technician or the manufacturer's customer support for further assistance.
Yamaha 115 will not shut off with key or kill switch
not enough information on the motor. what year and model? but all yamaha outboards are shut down by the C.D.I. being grounded by the key switch or the emergency kill switch. the cheapest thing to test or replace is the key switch and the emergency kill. with more info on engine I can help you further.
Ocean Runner 150 will idle and get to approximately 1400 rpm then dies out. It will restart in one minute or so.
Question edited for a lot more clarity.
It is likely to be fuel starvation. Check the following;
The tank vent.
The pump bulb is the right way around, ARROW towards Engine.
Cut a section of pipe and see if the inner lining has delaminated. The grey fuel pipe is bad for this. Modern Ethanol fuels damage the lining. Black Tube is best.
Also I had a similar issue on an Evinrude and it was a linkage not connected to the carbs. Only one was actuating.
Check grounds and bad connections as David says.
