    Dash got ripped out!

    I gave a 2005 270 I/O rinker express cruiser. Someone I guess needed my dash with all my gauges worse than I did. The harness/wires behind the dash were all cut. What a mess. So that harness, is that a merc harness from the motor to the gauges or do the boat makers create that harness? Rinker is...

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    Interesting...I'm in fl and don't see that temp unless it is dead of winter...how do higher Temps affect those numbers? 70 is a cool day here. I'm not sure how much I had...I pumped at least a half gallon of water and then said screw it and pumped it all out. I have a 100 gallon tanks, pumped...

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    I don't have another place to put one. I guess if you have that much water it has to be dumped and cleaned. Seems like the at least normal filter is a waste...

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    I buy with other filters and stuff in general, but I don't recall much over 15? But, there are overwhelmed easily- I recall on the 7.3 diesel it would not start until you drained it. And with bowl you could see it, unless it was just full of water I guess. Really worth looking into and really...

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    I used an electric fuel pump for a car- pumped out 75 gallons. That hurt.

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    Hey Chris, I recall you were in the sub business? Hope all is well and thanks for your service! That makes a lot of sense for what I experienced. I think my tank must have had enough water that it completely filled the filter so the water went right into the fuel rail/motor. I recall seeing the...

    Bravo lll shift adjustement

    I replaced the lower shift cable only. It shifted smooth as butter before...it does not grind or anything but the handle works hard.... That tool is the tool I mention, but it only works if the other end of the cable is set right- which unfortunately it is not. Thanks for posting though!

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    I was kind of surprised with recent fuel problems with water, how little the separator stopped. There was also a concerning amount of garbage in the fuel- both making it into the fuel rail. I will for sure change every year and probably less hours if I get busy boating.

    Bravo lll shift adjustement

    I guess the title is mis leading- I found after I put my outdrive back on without the proper adjustment it's hard to shift. I recall on the bearing puller there was a way to set that end of the cable and then there is another tool to set the other end of the cable. I believe there was a work...

    Keys...

    As it turned out I did find my keys in my truck where I always keep them. I've really been supercareful with them knowing it would be a pain in the ass to re do- and it was silly as it was so easy to order replacements with the codes.
