I've had this boat since 2014 and it runs pretty good. Its a Mercruiser 5.7 with a q-jet carb. Last night i just happened to look down inside the carb while it was idling on the hose and noticed there was fuel dripping from the boosters. It was running perfectly. Idling around 700rpm. I didnt...
I'm shopping for a 350 mercruiser and a friend who races dirt cars told me to look into a "602 crate" engine from GM. They're factory sealed for a specific racing class.
They can be purchased used for reasonable prices.
Here are the specs...
I have a 22' wellcraft and last year I installed a re-manufactured mercruiser 5.7 and we used it all summer and really enjoyed it. However, at the end of the season my wife and I were out with another couple, going across the lake maybe 4300rpm, I was standing and driving not looking at the...
i have a alpha 1 gen 1 on a 22' wellcraft with a 350. While on plane with the drive trimmed all the way down there is a noticeable vibration through the hull. As soon as i trim it up, even just a little, it completely goes away. Ujoints seem good. Engine alignment is not horrible but not perfect...
Its an alpha 1 gen 2 thats leaking oil.
It started as a few drips out of the vent hole on the top of the lower unit, I searched here and determined it was a leaky shift shaft seal. No big deal, I'll change the oil very often and top it off everytime before I go out to limp it along for the...
There is a little hole in my out drive right where this arrow is pointing. Oil is dripping out of it. Everything works perfect, I just have to keep adding oil. Anyone see this before? What could it be? The hole looks like its supposed to be there!
How easy should the tool slide in and out? Right now I can push it in pretty easily with one finger and pull it out with two if I tried, but I can certainly feel a small amount of resistance. Is that good enough?
I read through service manual 13 for the GM 4 cylinders, the timing procedure there doesnt say anything about putting the ignition into "timing mode". I found this procedure on this site:
WHICH METHOD DO I FOLLOW?
The inital timing on my motor is supposed to be 8 degrees. I used the...
Somehow my starter bolts must have worked themselves loose, then from the torque of the starter it somehow snapped both bolts off inside the block. There are two bolts and they come up from the bottom. I dont see how I could possibly drill these out without pulling the motor. Anyone see...
I have a 1993 Larson 170 bowrider. Its 17 feet long and has the 140hp 3.0l engine with electronic ignition. It has about 85 hours on it total. Im the second owner and it has been maintained very well and stored inside or very well covered outside or covered in a slip for one season.
