I just bought a 99 Bryant 214 with the 5.7 EFI and an Alpha one drive (1.47). There is a 19P Mercury Vengeance SS prop on it right now. I have not run it to WOT cause I live in PA and there is still ice on the rivers! The prop that is on there now is alittle dinged up and I'm looking to swap it...

I went from a 2 bbl to a 4 bbl mercruiser q jet carb and a new intake manifold. Finally got the carb and im curious if anyone has a vacuum diagram for the carb. Thanks!

The old 2 barrel on my 5.7 block was shot so instead of a rebuild i opted to just get a new 4 barrel carb. I had a 4 barrel intake sitting around so I figured, why not? Only thing is I cant use the old 2 barrel throttle bracket with the new carb. The new carb is a marine Qjet and I cant find a...

I have a 350 block and the bottom drain ports are clogged. I tried sticking a piece of wire up in there to unclog them to no avail. They look like they are threaded on to the block. Before I try and do damage, can I just unscrew them from the block and try and open them up? Is there another...

This seems like the topic of the week, and here is my problem. Alittle backstory.... I have a 87 Wellcraft 210 with a 350 and Alpha one outdrive. I started to notice some oil in the bilge about the middle of the summer. I thought at the time it was due to a leaky oil pan seal (which i have)...

I have an 87 Wellcraft with a 5.7 mercruiser and have a power problem. When I throttle up it very smooth and there is no problem till I get about 3/4 power and then it seems to lag and stumble. It doesn't die when it does this... but it does seem like it pops and stutters. When I continue to...

This may sound like a really dumb question... Now that I got my fuse and my trim works, I'm wondering how to tell the position of the outdrive since I have no trim gauge. When I initially launched the boat, I jumped the solenoids to put (what I think) the trim in the down position. Now that the...

I actually posted this in the wrong forum, figured I post it in the right one! Hello all- I have been troubleshooting my trim assembly. I have a wellcraft 210 classic with the 350 and my trim wont move when I engage the switches on the throttle. I used the troubleshooting guide I found online...

Hello all- I have been troubleshooting my trim assembly. I have a wellcraft 210 classic with the 350 and my trim wont move when I engage the switches on the throttle. I used the troubleshooting guide I found online from a helpful member here ( this is it) and when I jump the connections it is...

I have an 87 Wellcraft CC and the alpha one drive (New boat to me) will not trim up or down. Any button I hit on the throttle will not engage the drive. I have used a jumper to jump between 12v and blue or green wire on the solenoid and the drive will raise and lower. I'm really good with...

And I cant find anything. To make matters worse since it is a complete block for the panel, it looks like I would have to cut all wires and rewire new gauges. Anyone done this before or has a lead on a new OEM gauge stack? Thanks!!

So Im gonna try my hand at redoing my upholsrty in my boat. I got a new boat for pretty cheap but the uphosltry is ruined. I asked my wife if her macine could do it, and I got a loud "NO WAY". In talking to my mother and through the net I found that the only real way was to get a commercial...

I did do a search and couldnt come up with a good answer. I have a single axle trailer for my boat and it has a GVWR of 2980. The trailer is stated to weight 500#. It was for my old boat, a 20ft Baretta. I got a new boat with a new trailer and the boat weighs 2700# but the trailer it comes with...

Just curious, I bought a 20' Baretta with a 120hp volvo/penta i/o and wondering if this boat is going to be able to pull up a skurfer? I love wakesurfing and im not about to do it behind and I/O but I have a board and would still love to ride it 15' out. Thanks!!
