Have a 2002 Bravo III that needs either lower unit replace/rebuild or entire outdrive. Questions:
Anyone have experience with Powerboatslimited.com ? They sell entire B III for $3995 with one year warranty. They also recommend entire out drive vs just lower, they say in their experience...
I have B III outdrive and I just replaced the shift cable bellows. While out and apart, thought I would change the shift cable (which I have done on Alpha). I'm having a difficult time getting the outer shift cable sleeve to pass through the transom from the back/gimbal. I have the old inner...
2002 350 Mag MPI serial #0M326575
I'm about to replace my fuel pump and fuel cooler. Problem is the Mercruiser manual calls for "thermal grease" and suggests to obtain locally and I have not been able to find any source. Dielectric grease does not appear suitable for this application.
Any...

Boat is new to me, previous owner claims no overheat which I now doubt. I have replaced manifolds and risers as well as new impeller and seawater pump. Runs great on muffs however I shut her down when temps hit 180. I took off t-stat...

new boat (project) for me. Using Manual #36 I have been troubleshooting fuel pump issue, no power with turning key.

I was preparing to replace my u-joint bellows and reading manual #14 (picture page 4A 8)- the groove on the bellows is supposed to fit into a flange on the inside of the bell housing. Problem is - my 2000 Alpha I Gen II bell housing does not have a flange. The inside is smooth - also no sign...
I searched and could not find a similar problem.
I have an Alpha I Gen II outdrive on a 2000 Regal that I operate mostly in salt water.
I changed the impeller (did not look bad) because I wasn't getting flow through the intake hose at the t-stat. With the new impeller - same result so I just...
I have a 2000 Mercruiser 5.0 EFI with Alpha I Gen II. I have had an intermittent shifting problem for some time - shifts into gear, forward and reverse, without problem. I changed the lower shift cable and adjusted as instructed in OEM manual. I tested it with boat tied to dock and it worked...
I am replacing the input oil seal on 2000 Alpha I Gen II out drive. Anyone have any thoughts about removing the ujoint retainer? I don't have the tool and don't want to damage the retainer. Thanks.
Was performing some maintainance on my 2000 5.0 EFI Alpha I Gen II. Replaced impeller - old one not in bad shape. Since I live where there is alot of sand and mud I flushed motor at both sides of thermostat housing. At first, I was unable to back flush, after some effort was able to back...
I just replaced my gimbal bearing and u-joint bellows. All went well until the exhaust bellows on the out drive (stern) end. I just could not get the clamp to hold. I finally thought I had it and replaced the out drive, filled with oil. When I trimmed the sterndrive up the bellows came loose...
