I am parting out a boat with a volvo penta 290. I have all the parts to install a crank driven water pump along with hoses. For those not aware of the 290, the pump sucks water through the outdrive before pumping into motor. Is there any reason i cannot remove the impeller from my alpha and run...
I have a 92 rinker 235. The current bimini doesnt cover enough of the windshield area so mid day and afternoon sun kills anything on the dash as well as me at the helm. Its not long enough to keep much in the back shaded either as sevreral feet foward of the transom is exposed where we...

So i need some pricey 290 fork tilt cylinders. In my local search i found an SX from a 4cyl. I have a v8. I have pitting everywhere. Other than the cylinders it's cosmetic.
I was told i could use the newer sx transom shield, the sx upper drive and tilt cylinders then put my 290 foot on. I...
So i got my outdrive off. Looking at my leak free rams there is an issue with one of them. The starboard side is pitted badly. I can see half the threads of the one of the high pressure inlet hoses. I need a replacement. I think its wise to deal with this in the midst of a transom rebuild and...
Mud dobbers have nested in the threaded holes and i cant get any 5/16 bolt to easily start. I want to use a thread chaser to clean it out but what size is it? I want to make sure i bring the right size/thread bolts and thread chaser home to remove rhe outdrive this weekend. Im making a little...
Im about to yank my aq211a power house of a gm 305 out of my 23 ft centurion (MINI) cabin boat to rebuild the transom. Im using arjay(ceramic version of seacast) to pour the new stingers/engine mounts with the motor somewhat in place(slightly raised) to keep mounts as close to oem placement as...
Came with a box of goodies in a parts boat i purchased. Wanting to know if i can use it to replace the points distributor on my volvo pents 305 v8, im assuming i need a hotter coil and igniton module
I picked up a small cuddy cabin walk around to use while i restore my carver flybridge/vw diesel engine swap (trying to find a way to cool turbo manifold w/o losing turbo performance)
great hull, bravo 1 outdrive, trim tabs, swim platfrom. She's ready for a keys fishing trip other than the...
I have a 26 ft flybridge I'm restoring. Haven't ever heard her run. Compression test yielded low numbers on #1 cylinder. Engine is coming out while i rewire and reseal everyting so whether its just a freshinging with new rings and a hone plus bearings she's getting torn apart.
I aleady have a...
Looking to build a custom manual hydraulic steering system for a 25 ft fly bridge dual helm boat. 5.7 with alpha drive.
Is this boat too big for manual hydro steer? Should i build it with the power assist? Looking to keep it simple and functional, this old boat isnt worth much, just a floating...
I'm looking for a yamaha 4 stroke expert to chime in and help me!
I have had this motor for about three years. It's been super reliable for me.
Last year while running it sounds like I am losing a cylinder. Then it picks back up. Its very random.
I specialize in outdoor power equipment...
I've just picked up this long shaft motor for my sailboat and i'm trying to get it running right. Runs extremely lean, you have to manually choke it to keep it running.
I've thoroughly cleaned the carb. one of the vacuum lines is capped off with a screw so i'm assuming it needs to go somewhere...
Hi all. I have a wonderfully running low hour 3.5 kicker. I need a water pump housing that is obs. Anyone have any recommendations on who might stock good used or obs merc parts? I would even buy a complete motor for parts if it were long shaft. This motor is light and starts 2 to 3 pulls every...
