I'm considering buying new etec 25. I want a short shaft, tiller, electric start. I had a dealer give me a price of $4400 today. Yow! I wasn't expecting that as I though it would be below 4K.
Is that a high price for this?
I just picked up a 1967 boat with the 150hp slant 6 motor, a 225 CID. The boat and motor are in great condition, last being used in 1978. However, I'm looking for info on the motor such as a model name/number (if there is one) and manual or diagram, and a parts source. Obviously not being run...
I just purchased a true "barn find". A 1966 Silverline that was last registered in CA in 1978 and looks like a new boat. It has a Chrysler Marine 150hp 6 cylinder mated to a Volvo Penta outdrive. I am only familiar with Mercruisers and no nothing about Volvo Penta units.
There are no...
I need a new starter for the Mercruiser 165 hp (250cid) in my '73 Silverline. Does anyone know a source for these? I've looked online and only seem to find them for later year Mercruisers.
I checked on rockauto.com as the engine was essentially used in GM pickups of that era and I can buy one...
I have a 1973 Silverline 19' in generally good condition. It has the 165 HP Mercruiser and what I believe is a MR1 outdrive. The last time I had it in the water was the summer of '16 when it developed a water leak around the outdrive. Circumstances last summer prevented me from even removing the...
After I changed the oil of the Mercruiser on my 19V this morning, I was wiping up the spilled oil (a lot) in the bilge. Just under the oil pan, the floor slants down into the lower area of the bilge. I noticed something sticking out of the slanted area and upon closer look, it was a rubber plug...
I am thinking my trailer may too light a capacity for my boat. My boat is a 19' I/O and although the capacity tag is unreadable, I believe it is about 2000lbs.
The trailer is an EZ-Loader roller that is a 1990's model that I bought a couple of years ago but any tags have faded so I am not sure...
I have my eye on a 70's Crestliner with a Mercruiser 888/Ford 302. The engine needs a rebuild but the hull and interior is in great shape. Any common problems with that motor that would make be decide to scrap it and replace it with something else?

I have a 73 Silverline with a 165 hp Mercruiser. The stern has a dog house with a jump seat on either side. I am considering changing the configuration to eliminate the jump seats and putting a full engine cover across the stern to use as a lounge deck. Any advice on how to build this and any...
My navigation lights haven't worked right for awhile. They are controlled by a 3 position push/pull switch. When pulled into the 1st position, nothing and in the 2nd position just the stern light. I suspected a defective switch because when I wiggled it when the stern light was on, the light...
I have a '73 Comoro with a 165hp Mercruiser with jump seats on each side of the engine box. The top of the seats have a hook and which attach to an eye on the rear deck area which I thought was the only way of securing the seats. I had both seats out yesterday and noticed a full length piano...
I have several old (50s and 60's) outboard so I'm not used to working on one this "new". I'm doing maintenance on a friends outboard and wondering what oil should in the lower unit. Is it Hypoid 90?
