    Mercruiser 3.0 Losing Gear Oil

    I’m losing gear oil rather quickly but the oil leak is plainly evident. I know there’s some seal and it could be leaking into the bellows but there is a hole above the water intake on the lower unit that some oil is coming out of. I’m just not sure what that means or what that hole is called.

    2004 Bayliner 175 - Volt, Tach, Speedo, Backlights don’t work

    Voltage gauge does nothing, tach is stuck at 10 (doesn’t move), speedo does nothing, temp I think is working... oil pressure and fuel bounce to the right when ignition is turned on and the trim gauge responds but slowly. Also, none of the backlights appear to work. I’ve checked all the bulbs as...

    Recent Aftermarket Swim Platform Purchase

    I recently purchased an aftermarket swim platform for swimplatformsuperstore.com for my 2004 bayliner 175. (I also purchased a Monster MTK tower, but that's another post.) I placed the order March 12th according to one of the employees, but it took several days for me to get that far. The week I...

    I have two boats and when they're tied up together I would like to be able to use both sound systems from one source. What's the best way to achieve this?

    2004 Bayliner 175 - Not Starting

    It ran fine on Saturday, but when I turned the key on Sunday I got nothing, almost as if the throttle wasn't in neutral. In the past it may have taken a turn or two of the key before it would turn over, but it would always eventually catch. I am at a loss as to where I should start testing...

    1975 70hp Johnson - won't start after running

    This has been an ongoing issue. I have rebuilt the carbs, put in a new stator, replaced the power box, replaced all three coils, new plug wires and plugs, replaced the lower unit oil (which was fine i.e. no water) but still the motor will just not start after running. Today we ran a short was...

    Chrysler Tachometer Question

    I picked up a tach on ebay and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. To be honest I am not sure how to wire it since there are only two posts on the back and there doesn't seem to be a way to open it up. In the third picture is that number at the top a part number? I only paid...

    Tachometer recommendation?

    I have 1975 2 stroke 3cyl 70hp Johnson. I was reading the wiring diagram and realized I already had the wire for one in my control. I would like to install a tachometer, but I must be dense when it comes to locating one that will work on a 2 stroke and isn't a 4" monstrosity. Does anyone have...

    Tachometer on 75 Johnson 70hp 3cyl

    I read the wiring diagram and found the gray wire for the tachometer in my control but as far as what tach I can use and how to wire it I am unsure. I know that I can't use just any tach because it is a 2 cycle so if you have any recommendations they are appreciated

    1967 Chrysler Charger

    Here she is. I am looking for any resources that will help me with restoration/maintenance/history. Parts for this craft are semi-impossible to find. It has a very unique bow light that I found early on in my ownership and now I am amazed I found one. I would like to have as much original...

    Where to find this?

    I have a 1968 Chrysler Charger 183 and I need a part. Below is my boat and the starboard side of the part I need for the port side. I emailed around and the only person that responded told me it was called a corner sating. I thought it was a rubrail corner. Any information is greatly appreciated!
