    My friend forgot to lock the hitch. Doh!

    $440 some odd bucks Later. New 1/4 plexiglass window, a new tailgate shell, and painted to match my truck from the body shop. Good thing I had a friend in the body shop, he only charged me $200 for the paint job. The new tailgate was only $111. The plexiglass was $103. We split the cost in half.

    My friend forgot to lock the hitch. Doh!

    This just happened 2 weeks ago, my friend and I were in a hurry to go out fishing on my boat. I left him in charge of hitching the boat up. I drove 3 city blocks and heard a disturbance, looked through the rear view mirror and saw the boat bouncing around. The boat came off the unlocked ball...

    Mercruiser A1 G1 140HP Upper Gear housing Question regarding heat..

    Question: Is the top half of the Sterndrive (upper gear housing cap that has the 4 bolts) suppose to be hot? I just flushed out my engine for 10 minutes w the ears and noticed it was hot when I touched that cap. I checked the gear oil under that cap and it was good. I'm not sure if this is...

    Part of my Inner Transom is Rotted.

    I was getting about 6 gallons or so of water in my boat after 5 hours on the water. I hadn't noticed any leaks till I discovered that the inside of the transom mount area was rotted on one side. So i went on the back of the boat (dry land) and tapped all around the transom/bell housing, one side...

    No start when warm

    Try starting it warm in neutral with full throttle. Be quick and shift it back to normal throttle, if it starts.

    Problem Restarting, Idling and Acceleration when the engine is warm. Merc 140hp 3.0 Alpha 1 Gen 1.

    It's a fuel issue, the see thru Fram inline fuel filter is low of fuel when this occurs, so I'm leaning towards vapor lock now. No black smoke. I'll know tomorrow. Thanks.

    Problem Restarting, Idling and Acceleration when the engine is warm. Merc 140hp 3.0 Alpha 1 Gen 1.

    I may consider hooking up another blower to bring fresh air into the engine. The current blower now removes air f om vacation engine area. I can also put some vents on the side of the engine cover I suppose, as I'm building a new engine cover/doghouse soon. Your thoughts?
