I have a 2007 5.0 MPI with a Bravo 3 drive and noticed some hesitation when shifting into forward. I did a search here and saw several posts about adjusting the lower shift cable, but the barrel nut on mine appears to have been crimped/pinned so it is not adjustable. Is there another way to...
In the Spring, I had my drive pulled and all fluids changed. I noticed last time out that my trim gauge is showing that my drive will not go all the way down/in. I can tell a performance difference as well because I get more bow rise on take off and the drive cavitates just after take off and...
My buddy has a '94 Mercruiser, 5.0L with an Alpha drive. On Saturday he took on a lot of water and on Sunday we did some trouble shooting and noticed a crack/hole in the top of his exhaust Y-pipe. So, I have a couple questions.
1) What would cause this type of hole?
2) How much pressure is...
I have a 2007 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI with a Bravo 3 outdrive. The last time out I noticed that my engine is making a clicking noise that appears to be in tune with the exhaust so I am thinking that it is something in the exhaust system causing the clicking. My oil pressure is good as well as my...
Can anyone recommend a large (sleep 14+) cabin on a boating lake in North Georgia; preferably North of Lanier. We are looking for something within a two/three hour drive North of the Marietta area.
I'm thinking of maybe relocating to the Savannah area and was wondering what the boating was like there. I have a 24' deck boat and we like to ski and wakeboard some, but mostly cruise around and find a nice relaxing area and hang out. Can you all tell me about marinas in that area and the...
I have a 2007 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI. The manual calls for making a fogging mixture and disconnecting the fuel line and so forth. My problem/question is, my fuel lines are really difficult to get off due to the triple barb connections and so forth. My fuel rail has a Shrader valve on it; is there...
I have a 2007 Mercruiser 5.0MPI with the multi-point drain system. I Keep my boat in the water, but it is supposed to get near freezing the next two nights so I would like to drain my engine block; I wasn't planning on pulling the boat out yet; so, my question is, can I drain the manifolds and...
I have a 2007 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI with a Bravo III drive. I keep the boat in a slip, mainly because I then get an extended boating season when they draw the lake down. My slip does not have a lift, which would be ideal for many reasons, so my question is this. Is it possible to have a shut off...
Ok, I know not everyone drinks, or allows drinking on their boat, so this thread is not for you per se. We often times have several people on our boat and responsibly enjoy a few drinks while on the hook. My question is, what are your favorite drinks to make in bulk/batch, maybe before hand...
Looking for some input on a FloScan install; I haven't bought it yet, but looking into it. I like the 7000 series because it will fit where my existing tach and hour meter are. I was watching the video though and it looked rather complicated to install; multiple filters, etc. I did a quick...

I've replaced the fuel water separator, it was gunked up pretty good, and the fuel filter. I even put 5 gallons of fresh gas in the original tank. The engine will not start at all. When turning the key, I can hear the fuel...

I talked to my mechanic today and he said it sounded like water in the fuel system. I have already ordered a new fuel filter, I'm going to pull the water separator and check its contents for water. So, if I swap the fuel...
I have a 2007 Mercruiser 5.0MPI with a Bravo III drive; Today started the boat to get it warmed up and it ran for several minutes and then died out and stalled (never put it in gear). I thought it odd, so I started it up again, it turned over, ran for about 5 seconds and then died again. It...
My friends boat has a 1995, 5.0L Mercruiser (carb) with the Thunderbolt ignition system and an Alpha 1 drive. The issue he is having is, the boat will generally start fine first thing after priming the carb and turning it over, takes a few seconds, but starts and runs fine. The problem seems...
