Currently I have one battery with numerous connections on both the positive and negative battery terminals.
There are actually three on each battery terminal; one for the trim pump, one for the stero amp, one for the MercCathode. Also, when the Corsa Captians Call was installed, it was...
I have a 1999 Bravo 3 and can't remember if the trim position sender lead is routed between the drive shaft bellows and the lube oil line or if it goes outside the lube oil line.
Does anyone know the proper routing?
I have a 1999 Bravo 3 and I'm in the process of replacing the Gimbal Ring.
Is the gimbal housing seal (spring backed seal for upper swivel shaft) reusable or should this seal always be replaced? I will be installing a new upper swivel shaft.
I have a 99 Merc 350 that I'm about to pull out of the boat. The Merc manual recommends removing the front mounts from the stringers instead of just removing the upper nuts from the front adjustment bolts. I have also read this recommendation from people on this site.
My concern is there...
I have a 99 Mercrusier 350 Mag with 235 hours, which is used in fresh water (or at least as fresh as Louisiana river water can get).
I took the exhaust riser off to inspect them and the manifolds. The riser's and manifold's passage all looked really good with only slight rust scale and no...
Ah, life... isn?t it grand. What started out as a simple lube oil leak appears to be turning into a major winter project (at least by my standards).
I was leaking lube oil from the reservoir line at the connection to the bell housing. I now have that all apart and was checking the gimbal ring...
I'm having trouble getting the port side hinge pin loose on my 1999 Bravo 3.
I've read numerous previous posts that recommend heat to 1) break the bond of the loctite (+350 F) and 2) to heat the aluminum housing so that it expands greater than the Hinge Pin.
Corrosion doesn't appear to be...
I have a Bravo 3 Drive (SN L470625) and want to pull the bell housing to repair the damaged lube monitor hose at the bell housing.
I have been following the #11 Mercruiser Manual, which recommends removing the bell housing. This includes disconnecting the lube oil bulkhead connection, item 'c'...
I?ve got a 1999 bravo 3 that is leaking gear lube oil from either the hose or barbed connector at the bell housing with the drive in the raised position. I have reviewed the #11 MerCruiser manual and I?m thinking about repairing it myself, but have a few questions for those who have done this...
I have a 1998 5.7 L with a Bravo 3 drive and seawater cooling. The other day while running the engine on the muffs, I noticed that the starboard side exhaust manifold and elbow was running at 115 F, while the port side was running around 95 F with the engine running at 160 F. On both the...
I have a 1999 Bravo 3 drive that I would like to pressure test, but the Merc Manual doesn't have anything about doing this test. What is the correct procedure? Is it drain lube and test at 15 psi for 4 hours?
I have a "plastic" thru hull depth sounder transducer that is cracked on the face. Talking to a transducer manufacturer, they said the integrity of the unit is compromised and do not try to repair. Attached is a picture of the transducer looking from the underside of the fiberglass boat while...
I have a Humminbird 600 depth sounder with a thru hull transducer. Looking at the transducer from the underside of the boat. while on the trailer, I noticed that a portion of the cover had cracked and half of it has come off.
Attached is a photograph. I contacted humminbird, but of course...
I have a 1998 350 MAG mated to a Bravo 3 drive. I notice this season that I have been getting some water into the bilge area. The water only enters when the boat is operating at higher rpms and it?s not a whole lot; about a quart an hour (still trying to find source of water leak).
Anyway...
Need some advice and thoughts on boating etiquette?
All questions reference operating on a River of about 400 ? 600 feet in width. I normally run at about 30 ? 35 mph with a 23 foot cuddy sport boat. During any of these scenarios is it proper to slow down or come off plane? I would have a good...
