Hello,
I am trying to replace the trim cylinders on my drive, model #45520. Is it possible to replace this unit with an SEI cylinder?:

Would this be the correct size, or would I need the longer 16 3/8" size? I...
Hello,
I have a 1980 Mercruiser 228 with log-style manifolds.
I am having some cooling issues with the engine and it came to my attention that I may be using the wrong kind of block off plate at the exhaust elbow. The current block off plate is covering all of the "slits" around the square...
Hello,
I have a 1980 Mercruiser 228 (Chevy 305) than is running really hot on the starboard side. A couple of days ago it actually burned a hole through the starboard exhaust bellows than connects to the riser. I took the risers off both sides, soaked in muratic acid for a couple hours and...
Hello,
I am trying to replace the steering system in my 1980 Glastron Carlson CVX-18 (Mercruiser 228 / 898 Outdrive). The stock steering system is by a company called "Morse".
I have the steering cable removed as well as most of the helm. I can't figure out how to get the rest of it off...
Hello,
My manual doesn't seem to have any information on removing the steering cable. My steering has become very stiff and I suspect the cable is the culprit. How many of the bolts/cotter pins need to be removed in order to remove the cable? Does the drive have to be in a certain position...
Hello,
I accidentally broke the fuel line when I was taking my carb off last night (whoops) so I will need to replace the fuel line running from the water separator to the carb. Can I use a flexible braided steel fuel line for this connection, or do I have to replace with the OEM mercruiser...
Hello,
I am trying to remove the carb from my 1980 Mercruiser 228 in order to get it into the shop for a rebuild. It's a rochester Quadrajet Carb. I have the throttle cable and mounting bolts taken off. I can't figure out how to get the choke linkage or the fuel line off.
Here's a picture...
Hello,
I just picked up an old Glastron CVX-18 with a Mercruiser 228 engine. I took it out on the lake today and it didn't seem like the power steering was working at all. It takes a lot of muscle to get the outdrive to turn. Where do I start troubleshooting this?
Thanks!

Hello,
I have a 1979 Stringer 400 3.0 that's stuck in the "trimmed down" position. When I flip the switch to trim up, I can hear the sound of the motor spinning but the drive doesn't budge. How would I begin to troubleshoot this? Is there a manual release for moving the drive up?
Thanks,
-Mike
