Update - The 2400 lumens is total for BOTH lights. As per Dustinm's earlier post about a 2400 Loki model, this isnt going to light up a massive amount, but I figure this more about show than go.

Hi Everyone,

Digging a thread from a few years ago on underwater lighting. Thought it would be better than starting something new.

I wanted to upgrade to the underwater lights on my 2008 220 using the drain plug option. Boatpluglight has a model called the Typhoon with dual leds that would point ...

I have a 220 and replaced the struts a few years back. Very easy to do and takes barely any time. A thread here:

One of the strut mfg'er is Attwood available at BoatStore.

Did a quick search for a Group 27 AGM battery and this was in the $ 300 range vs $ 125 for the Lead Acid. One of the pop-ups showed a lithium for $950 or so. I just did another quick search and Bass Pro Shops had a Lithium for $ 600.

Thanks for the replys. The lift is the Legacy 6,000 capable and I cant find the current draw. The Lithium battery would be nice but about $ 1,000, YIKES. I was thinking an AGM battery but have to do some research on the compatibility with the solar panel and charging rates. I saw that the AGM's have ...

Hi Everyone,

A battery question for those with a boat lift. Not looking for a mfg recommendation per se, but your experience and how yours is setup.

I have a Sunstream with a 12V battery to operate. Recharge with a 100W solar panel that gets direct summer sun for probably 4 hours in the morning ...

Yes, grey is the common wire. Don't need blown fuses or other issues.

A follow-up to my question on the VP Tilt switch that I bought. In case others may look for this issue down the road, I will place the info here in the Volvo Penta section and also in the Electronics thread as well. The switch in question was designed for the older VP Tilt pump that was placed ...

The smart switch link (part # 7797218) appears to be for a controller at the helm station vs the transom. The VP tilt switch unit that I have (part # 3855650), with the Up/Down arrows, ties into that controller. I have tried searching dozens of schematics online but none fit. Anyone have VP's ...

Thank you for digging on this Jhmndahl. The switch on that 202 is the Mercruiser version and it DOES have the 3 color wires. It is not plug n play for a Volvo, but as I have discovered, neither is mine.

Hi Everyone,

I have a post over in the VP section but because it pertains to electrical, figured might as well place here as well. Not getting any responses over there.

Tilt Trim Remote Switch - trying to add this secondary switch to the transom area. I bought the VP tilt switch but it isnt plug-n ...

The tilt pump was NOT in the far reaches of the engine compartment. appears that on my DPS-A, the pump is external inside the drive housing. There are only the wires and connectors that are inside the compartment.

Now that I have determined this setup, the round connector on the VP remote switch I ...

Even when BBP isnt replying, he is still helping. Was just on the General Boating thread about oil changes that started back in 2021 and BBP had posted pictures of his 190 that showed where the Tilt pump assembly was located. In my 220, the previous owner had placed multi packs of life jackets on ...

Sorry to all for starting a new thread and then finding 2 others that could have helped. I am in a pickle because my drive is in the down position and the throttle switch "Up" isnt working. Because of a severe drought, my boat is stuck on the lift and the skeg hits bottom before the boat can lift ...
