    Starter Bolts 1985 Merc A1-G1 3.0 140hp

    If I purchase another Chevy starter does it come with the bolts also? I'm looking on rock auto website and there Chevy starters are very reasonable. I might as well replace the starter too.

    Starter Bolts 1985 Merc A1-G1 3.0 140hp

    I probably didn't tighten them enough 2 years ago, or they somehow came loose. This happened to me before years ago on a similiar boat, same engine etc.

    Upgrading Merc A1-G1 Oil Pressure Light with an actual oil pressure gauge.

    Question: On the back of the oil pressure light there are only two wires, and they are both black. One black wire goes from the back of the light (I think) to to the sender wire, which then that wire connects to a white wire, the other wire goes to positive on the ignition switch. Does this make...

    Boating Safety Certificate Required Now

    I was advised by my neighbor last week that the boating safety course is now required and mandatory for all age groups here in NY. It's no longer grandfathered in. I just took the free course and passed, it took me about 2 hours. The course is free and it's very informative www.boatus.org/free

    What are normal temps idling with muffs on the sterndrive? Merc A1G1 Alpha one. 3.0

    Does anyone know what are accepted temps when idling with muffs on dry land? I'm going into 180 degrees with a new 140° Tstat. When I put it in gear, the temps come down around 140 or less at times. The impeller is new and was checked. No issues with impeller.

    Hotter than normal temps. I just replaced the impeller on the sterndrive, and pulled the circulator pump.

    So I blew out all of the radiator hoses, inlet line, etc.. you name it, it didn't seem to have any restrictions, but then again I'm not 100% sure. I pulled the lower leg and checked the impeller and keyway and it was fine. I replaced the impeller housing only, as the impeller was good. I also...
