    470 to 120 swap

    I have a complete 120hp mercruiser setup prop to front engine pulley installed in a boat now. Have a chance for a better boat with a blown 470. If I completely strip the 470 down to the bare transom will there be any issues besides front motor mounts? Or is there more potential problems? I...

    Fuel filter separator

    Well tucked in a place you have to stand on your head to see was a filter/separator a previous owner had installed. So I Uninstalled the one I put in. I could hear air going in the fuel tank when a bulb was squeezed, so I wanted to check the supply from the fuel tank. And when undoing the hose...

    Fuel filter separator

    I used the plug supplied to seal off the other inlet opening. And I do have fuel going to the kicker from one of the outlet lines. And it did work before on a different boat. The only thing I changed was using a different outlet port for a directional change of the fuel supply line. But I'm also...

    Fuel filter separator

    Not sure what's going on but have a fuel separator with two lines in two out. Have my kicker out line on same side as inline. Works fine. Have big motor supply line to engine on the other side.

    1972 Mercruiser 165.

    I have to talk to the owner, he wants the boat removed and no trailer under it. I have a roadrunner that had a 19' Sangster on it might be able to limp it to a landfill. I'd rather a remove engines deal with him, but will see. And of course when were they last run and how good are they.

    I appreciate the advice on here. Have a shot at a boat with two of these that are runners. Look pretty much identical to the 165 Merc?

    Any other Mercruiser engines that if the 165 was removed would bolt up to the 165’s rigging? Looking at a boat with a failed 165.

    !976 OMC 5.7

    Well I like this old tug so I guess get all the life out of the OMC, and then if parts become a problem I'm looking at a pod and O.B.

    !976 OMC 5.7

    Question of my day. I have a 1976 OMC 5.7L in my boat a 22ft Slickcraft. I'd like to changeover to Mercruiser. What outdrives and driveshafts would bolt up to it if any? And I know some transom modification would be required including beefing up transom and filling the OMC hole and cutting a...
