    Exhaust manifold discovery?

    Airshot, I’ll take my lumps as deserved. The winterizing was my fault. I had my boat on the lift, and hadn’t been able to get back to it for a couple months (it’s several hours away from me). The lake level had gone way down back in 2021, and it got stuck on the lift. This is where I’ll take...

    Mercruiser 5.7L and 5.0L, help me identify a part

    Thanks Fun Times. I’ll grab a couple of pictures in just a bit. I do still have the 5.0L info because they forgot and gave me the old cover on top of the air intake. I have the Alpha I drive. When I turn the key, I hear the whine for about 3 seconds. When I try to start, it has the engine...

    Mercruiser 5.7L and 5.0L, help me identify a part

    Thanks for the reply. I originally had the 5.0L. It was not winterized properly, and I now have a 5.7L Quicksilver rebuilt engine. I posted that way since the trim pump and Cool Fuel module should be the same for both engines (unless I’m way off on my research there). Right now, my...

    Mercruiser 5.7L and 5.0L, help me identify a part

    Well, after doing YouTube research, this is the trim pump and reservoir. I am way off!

    Mercruiser 5.7L and 5.0L, help me identify a part

    (And if I am a betting man, this has to be fuel related. Those are fuel lines)

    Exhaust manifold discovery?

    After I posted that picture, I discovered both exhaust manifolds cracked. It was NOT winterized properly and the cracking was a direct result. I wound up putting in a Quicksilver rebuild motor.

    MerCruiser v8 350 installed, exhaust note options

    I decided to not install any aftermarket exhaust. I agree cyclops222, and I don’t want to be looked at that way on the lake. No extra attention needed when it comes to me.

    2008 Glastron GXL 235, new 5.7 Mercruiser engine, bogging at 3000rpms

    I know this post is old, but I want to close it out with info for others. You are definitely correct that the blower motor has nothing to do with my issue. I was hoping the anti-siphon valve was going to be the issue next, but I have found that to be working well. (I am replacing it anyway...

    Mercruiser 5.7L and 5.0L, help me identify a part

    I’d like some help identifying this part. Grok is telling me this is the Cool Fuel pump and reservoir. When I search on the internet a bit myself, I’m coming up with trim reservoir. I have confirmed my anti-siphon valve is good, but I have no fuel pressure at the rails (checked with gauge.)...

    Glastron GXL 235 anti siphon valve location?

    I finally found it and I feel stupid. For anyone that has this question in the future, it is directly in front of the engine, underneath the floor boards. They are easily removed once you reveal the screws that hold down the cover.

    Glastron GXL 235 anti siphon valve location?

    Once again, I feel stupid. I’m certain I should replace my anti siphon valve. It’s original on this boat I bought. I can’t figure out how to access it. The gas line into the fuel/water separator is obvious. Tracing back from this filter, the line goes from the engine bay forward into the...

    2008 Glastron GXL 235, new 5.7 Mercruiser engine, bogging at 3000rpms

    Hi all. I have learned quite a bit about my boat since my very first posts here. Thanks for the tough love! :) My question today is, First run this season on my new 5.7L engine. Starts great and we head out. However, for the entire ride of about 60 minutes, if I would full throttle it, it...

    Hi all. I have finally fixed by giant screw up and now have a gorgeous v8 MerCruiser engine installed. It’s a 2008 Glastron GXL What exhaust options do I have for this? Quiet when wake zone with full open on the lake sounds fun. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Glastron tandem axle boat trailer question

    Hi all. I have a Glastron trailer that came with my boat. It's a tandem axle and I need to replace the wheel hubs, bearings, etc. I'm uncertain on the exact replacement parts I need. Is there a website you would recommend to lookup this trailer and get the correct parts? Thank you.

    Exhaust manifold discovery?

    I don’t see any other issues on the block, and the motor runs well. However, I’m thinking this is not safe at all to use and must replace. Am I correct?
