I have a 2010 Bayliner 192 with a 4.3L Mercruiser and a Alpha 1 gen 2 leg. The other day when I was on the water, I couldn't get up on plane. The fastest I could go was 16mph revving at 2800 rpm. When I push the throttle down, the engine revs to 5000 rpm but the boat doesn't go any faster.
So I...
Hi, I have a 2010 4.3l tks mercruiser engine and I’ve never been able to suck much oil out and was wondering if this was normal. I’ve have a tube attached to the oil pan that I can pull out through the transom drain. I attach a pump to it to extract the oil. I’ve also tried extracting the oil...
I just tested the compression on my 4.3 mercruiser tks (closed cooling) and this is what I got:

180 175
180 160
180 180
front
Temperature right near the water temp sending unit is 161 degrees
left riser temp is 92.6 degrees
right riser...
I have a 4.3 mercruiser TKS. I just put in a new thermostat because the old one was sticking a bit. The temperature is about 175-180(just a little past 175) when warmed up and cruising. When I go from cruising to idle I notice that the temperature rises a little bit and I get a few beeps from...
I have a 2010 bayliner with a 4.3l mercruiser. A couple weeks ago while I cruising along at about 3400 rpm, my boat overheated. It turns out the engine block has a blue plastic wing nut drain plug and the top broke off draining my engine block. I fixed it and fast forward to yesterday it...
I have a 2010 karavan model usm-4100s-db12-78-st with disc brakes that are in need of repair. I want to switch to kodiak disc brakes if I can. Is it possible? Hopefully I can keep my axle.
I would like to use a kodiak kit that comes with rotor, calipers etc.
Merry Christmas everyone!
So I just did an oil change for the first time on my new boat. The motor is a 2010 Mercruiser 4.3L
After putting in new oil and running the motor for about 30 seconds, I check the dipstick and the oil is still black! I don't ever remember this happening to me on my old boat. What gives?

I'm in the process of adding a San Juan fwc kit to my 2010 4.3 merc. Kit is mc-340. The instructions say to remove the hoses that are attached to the bottom of the risers which I did. Now I stuck my finger in the hole expecting my finger to go down into the top of the manifold. To my surprise...
Hi, I have a 2002 Bayliner 1952 Capri with a 3.0L Mercruiser WITHOUT TKS. I find that it can be a pain to start sometimes. Does anyone have experience with a 3.0L with TKS? Is it much better than not having it? Can it be retrofitted onto my 3.0L?
Dealer told me Bayliner is not making the discovery 192 anymore.
Is there any truth to that?
The dealer may have even said they didn't make any 2013s either but I can't really remember for sure if he said that. He said they probably aren't making any more 192s for a couple of years. Something...
Re: SS right to disk brake calipers or flexible hose?
Thanks everyone for the help. Here is what I pan on using for the hydraulic line between the two calipers:
Missing from the pics is another 18" flex hose from the top of the tee to the trailer frame.
I'm looking at purchasing: 20' Single Axle Trailer DISC Brake S.S. Tubing Kit #0539-017
My Axle is 82" not including the spindles. The SS lines that are 17.5 and 72" long seem like they would be tight. I am also switching my drums to Kodiak disc brakes.
Will the 17.5 and 72" SS line be long...
