    12 volts at battery when boat is off and also when idling. replace alternator?

    Took the boat out on the lake this weekend after it had sat for about 6 weeks. It started up fine, it was maybe a little sluggish cranking over. Got it out on the lake and ran fine. Stopped for a bit and it seemed to have trouble starting back up. Got it running and back on the trailer and...

    1994 Mercruiser 4.3 LX I/O Dealership wants a couple hundred bucks to change the oil, that seems pretty high to me, it can't be that difficult can it? I've done a little reading and know I'll need a couple of things. I was wondering if I could get some help to make sure I have everything I...

    Really odd problem with t-stat/cooling system

    1994 4.3 LX, engine serial # 0f127354 The boat sat in a heated, dry garage all winter. The first trip out everything was normal. On the second day out I noticed that the water temp gauge was reading 200. The sender was replaced at the very end of last season and I'm really confident it's not...

    Water temp guage not working

    1994 Monterey with 4.3LX I could've sworn this was working at the beginning of the season when I bought the boat but lately it hasn't been working. I tested the gauge by jumping to a ground and it works fine. I tested the wire coming from the sender by jumping it to the negative terminal on...

    trailer tire psi?

    Mine are currently set at 32psi which looks about right judging on the shape of the tires. This is a single axle trail-rite trailer carrying a 19' cuddy. I noticed yesterday that the label on the sticker, the same one that has the VIN, says the tires should be inflated to 50psi. What should...

    Good mechanic near Salt Lake City,UT?

    My boat could use a little TLC. It's running pretty rich and it's beyond my skills to get it fixed. I'm looking for a trust worthy and preferably private boat mechanic. The closer to Sandy the better. Thanks, Dan

    A little confused about which fuel filter to get. 1994 3.4L Mercruiser V6

    It says on the bracket that the thread on filter screws into that it needs to be replaced with part # 35-805269 or compatible but I'm having trouble finding that filter. I found this here on iboats...

    How would you fix this? Railing seperated from boat (pic included)

    Hello. First post here, hopefully I'm putting this in the right section. I recently picked up this used 1994 Monterey 19.2 Sur. The railing has come unattached on 2 of the mounting points. What I can't figure out is how this mounting system was ever supposed to work to begin with. They...
