just got this boat, and the person i bought it from said he had swapped the carb from a 305 in another boat. they were both holley 4175 carbs. the carb number i have is 80552. I have ordered the correct rebuild kit for this carb. my question is if this carb is going to perform well on this...
I know this is a stupid question, but when looking for parts for my boat(online), I can’t figure out what exactly I have. it’s a 1994 volvo 434, but the tag on the engine cover doesn’t match what comes up on the parts websites. it is paired with a DP-C outdrive. most sites list either AQ, gx,or...
I would have thought the timing light would have worked also. my boat doesn’t have a spot for a tach, and wasn’t planning on installing one. I suppose i could, but figured once i get the correct prop i don’t really care. My buddy wants to mount one on his boat, so that’s why i had the cheap...
I have a 2005 mercruiser 50 4 stroke efi. I am trying to find the correct prop for my pontoon, which does not have a tach. I tried using my multimeter on the tach setting, on the grey wire. that doesn’t seem to work. I also tried two different tachs from amazon, again using the grey wire. the...
I was able to get in there with the tig torch and weld it 360 degrees. man, that is a dirty casting!! i cleaned and sandblasted it as best as possible, followed by a SS wire brushing, and wiped with acetone. It still floated a ton of crap out of the weld! but it looks like it will work just...
got it off today. still don’t know how it broke. not sure welding will work, as i don’t think i can get my tig torch in there. but i’ll try. might have to try oxy/ acetylene welding!! has anybody seen one break like this while running? i still don’t think we hit anything, although that’s all i...
absolutely. the bellows was still intact, with the aluminum piece still in the end. not sure what that piece is actually called, but it’s about a 2 1/2” tube (nipple) that the bellows connects to. i’ll try to get some pics tonight. might be a couple days before i get to taking the bellhousing...
I just took a new to me 99 searay with a 3.0 mercruiser out for a test run. all seemed well until i pulled it out and noticed that the exhaust bellows were hanging loose. the nipple(?) that it mounts to on the bellhousing broke clean off. the bellows itself is still intact. I didn’t feel the...
i’m hoping it’s just a hose, but they look good for now. can’t test till my exhaust gaskets get here, as i had to pull a manifold off to get to the cooler.
