    Merc 4.0 throttle tensioner

    Speedometer tube

    I just got this boat from a guy who did use it much and did not know a while lot about boats. He said the speedmeter never worked and now I know why. The tube is hanging there not connected.

    Best wrench to remove 5.0 water separator filter

    I sure don't know why they had to locate so low when the oil filter is so easy to get too. My old oil filter wrench is slipping and rather that mess the old one up and leak fuel in the bilge I need a new wrench. What is a good one for tight spots like this? Thanks, Brian in Mi
