    1990 Mercruiser 5.7 carb spacer

    I have a 90 ski supreme I purchased used several years ago. It stumbles on acceleration(too much fuel). Choke is not sticking and top and bottom butterflies are opening properly. I ran numbers on carb and it looks like a 1975 gmc quadrajet has been installed. Im going to replace it with a marine...

    inboard exhaust silencers(mufflers)

    I just cranked my 90 Ski Supreme Mercruiser 5.7 from its winter rest and the crossover hose is leaking. I tried tightening the hose clamps and it leaks worse so there must be a hole in the fiberglass silencer. All the aftermarket silencers are just single tubes and my ski boat has a crossover...

    Hi I have a 1970 johnson 25 short shaft that needs rebuilding. I removed the head and the cylinders are pretty rough so I know it will need boring to clean it up and I havent been able to find pistons so I looked on ebay and found a 1963 28hp powerhead that has good compression and was wondering...

    1990 Mercruiser 350 distributor

    Hi I have a 90 ski supreme with the 350 mercruiser and my concern isthat it has the wrong distributor in it. I purchased the boat late season last year and used the boat as is but I want to fix it this year. The distributor looks like an HEI unit off a 1975 to mid 80's GM car or truck. It has...

    Inboard wont start

    I recently purchased a 1990 Ski Supreme with the 350 mercruiser. When I put the boat in the water it wont crank. I have checked the battery and it has over 12volts. I have to move the gear shift lever while holding the key in the crank position until the starter starts the engine. I suspect the...
