Just wanted your guys unbiased opinions. I’m currently looking at a 92’ Bayliner 2252 classic cuddy with a 4.3 merc and also a 91’ Doral 230EX Cachet With a 5.7 OMC cobra
I’ve heard some bad reviews on OMC since they dont make them anymore and parts are hard to find and what not. I’ve owned a...
Hey guys. I’ve got 1990 2 bbl 4.3 Mercruiser.. will not stay running. Couple weeks ago i had it out and it wouldn't start when hot.. had to wait a few hours before i could go again and on the way in i couldnt get off plane and smelled gas. Had a friend rebuild the carb but he didnt start it up...
Hey guys, 1990 mercruiser 4.3.. wanting to know the ballpark estimate to replace the exhaust manifold only? A family friend of mine who does my boat work now for me isnt around as much and i need to bring it somewhere else so im just curious. Not changing the risers or other manifold just the...
Hey Guys,
Trying to see if I can change the curved plexiglass on the sides of my boat because it's starting to have surface cracks and just looks bad.. The only thing is I have no idea how to take it out/put in lol. Does anyone have an idea how to do this? There's some pictures attached to see...
hey guys, just curious about possibly changing out my boats plexiglass curved section of my windshield this spring because they’re both faded and starting to have surface cracks of sorts.. just curious how these would come out and the new ones put back in? Any idea??
Anyone know why the “bomar hatches” and hatches in general are so freakin expensive? Lol the outer ring where it attaches to the top section of mine is broken and the prices on these things are ridiculous. Seen some on ebay used and what not but was wondering if anyone knows where to get cheap...
Hey guys.. just finished winterizing my 1990 merc 4.3 and i did my dads for him too. He’s got a 97’ merc 5.7. I took the 5 blue drain plugs out and the two smaller hoses off of the left and right which go to each manifold as well as the bigger hose off the front left side of the engine.. Was...
Anyone know where I can find old boat accessories/parts? I have a 90’ chaparral 2050sl.. need 2 new vents/louvered vents for the back and I can’t find anything even close to ones I have. They’re not square or rectangle shaped, they’re more of angled triangle type shape
just curious if people have done this before or if it will work..
in need of a new prop and saw a stainless cleaver prop online for really cheap in great condition. Will these work on a mercruiser alpha one drive? I know they’re made to keep bow lift down but will it hurt anything if i used it?
hello everyone.. was out on the lake last weekend and noticed a not that loud but noticeable growling type noise when turning left or right. Everything sounds normal when going straight and when titlting the outdrive up and down.. it’s only left and right when it can be heard. Also noticed a...
Hey guys, just curious... my prop has about a 2 1/2 - 3" inch chip/crack on the end of one of the blades and I was out saturday and could feel a little vibration..
Was wondering if that was why? It also has an old hydrofoil on it so maybe it could be that too?
Going upstate with the boat for...
So I got in touch with the person I bought my boat from last fall. I originally had planned to register the trailer as Home made because he didnt have any paperwork.. i asked again about paperwork because my trailer apparently weighs 1200 pounds and now since its over 1000 i have to do all this...
Hey guys, just a little curious about this... my boat has a stereo system already but i only have 1 battery. I want to be able to have a second source of power for it instead of using my main battery... i know i can get a second battery and hook it up to that one but once that one drains down...
