If it's leaking raw water into the exhaust the water can make its way into the combustion chamber (through exhaust valve) and because the water doesn't compress you can make the head gasket leak. If that happens you will likely see water-milk in the engine oil or run it on muffs and you might...
I'm going to try and keep this a brief as possible but requires some backstory. Engine serial number D608856, outdrive serial number D634245, 380 hours. My boat is a 1991 Baja 208 Islander.
The fuel pump died over the last 2-3 outings of the season and upon taking it apart I found that the...

I have a 99 Four Winns Horizon with a 5.0Gi and SX drive. There is no functional accessory circuit at the key either. I'm looking to replace the keyed ignition switch with a toggle for ignition/run and a push button for the starter crank. The reasons I want to eliminate the...
I know I'm going to get flamed for this but:
I saw a few threads asking if an exhaust flapper, intended for the outlet on thru-hull exhaust can be mounted on the transom plate exhaust outlet in place of the bellows or boot. I have a 99 Four Winns H200 with the Gi 305, SX drive. I had the OEM...
