I am having terrible idling problems with my 3.0 mercruiser. I have rebuilt the carb. Cleaned the tank and filled with clean fuel. Tuned the motor. Installed new water filter. The boat runs fine on the water at 1800 or above. Smooth, good performance. It just does not want to idle. I also have a leak of gear oil coming out a hole in the foot just below the right side of the front bolt on the outdrive. When I say front bolt I mean the front one on the side not the very front one. Any ideas?
