Re: Can I dry dock run a 1983 merc i/o in a create of water ?
Usually run them on the muffs myself,easier to do,muffs are cheap,wally world even has them. A big tub of sorts works fine,just be shure to have it deep enough to cover the cav plate,about half way up the drive.

Thanks for all your help, ran it today and found hydraulic leak with the help of the rainbow floating on my create, I found another problem though......my girl friend sure gets upset when her creates get covered with soot and oil:]
Re: Can I dry dock run a 1983 merc i/o in a create of water ?
Muffs are usually less than $5 at Walmart or sporting goods stores. Get a set. It is much easier and you don't risk the chance of not having the water high enough in the container you are using.
I've replaced cap, wires, plugs all looked good. Any thoughts? too rich? it runs great but it did leave tons of soot on the create I ran it in.
on a side note, as a new user I'm not sure what the send trackbacks box is for when a reply is posted?

Dude, just get a set of muffs, it's SO much easier.
They're like 10 bucks anywhere, and they practically last forever. My set has worn out 2 boats already.
Ugh.
Then maybe it wouldn't be the wisest thing for the OP to run his engine in the driveway.....
I'm gonna say no, don't run your engine in the create. Far to dangerous.
