    07 5.0GL WOT Issue

    I pulled the filter in the fuel line. The one in the carb body. It looked clean. I also replaced the water separator. Is there another filter I'm missing?

    07 5.0GL WOT Issue

    I should mention I also cleaned the spark arrestor. But yes it acts like it's starving for air. I assume if it was fuel related it would go lean and pop. I also verified the choke is opening all the way.

    5.0GL Possible Carb issue

    Cleaned inline filter and replaced water separator filter. Checked throttle blades and they seem to be set correctly. Still no improvement. Any other ideas?

    Flame arrestor is spotless. I'll change out the filter and check the blades.

    5.0GL Possible Carb issue

    Boat: 2007 Caravelle 204 Motor: VolvoPenta 5.0GL When running WOT with the throttle lever in WOT position the boat will loose 2-3 mph but if I back slightly off the throttle it picks 2-3 mph back up. Could this be a float issue seems like it may not have enough fuel supply to operate at WOT...

    95 5.7 efi injector shutting off at 3k rpm with video

    Here is a video off an off idle pull and just at 3000 rpm it stalls and shuts the right injector off. I can then pull the throttle back to 1/4 and push the throttle back up to 3000 rpm and it will repeat itself. I have slowly accelerated ever so slightly and got it to go ahead and get past...

    Prop change can you explain????

    I changed my 14x17ss Vengence prop for a 13.75x19 Aluminum. I gained about 3 mph, but the rpms stayed the same. I went up in pitch, gained MPH, and the RPMs stayed the same. I was able to trim the 19 up a tad more without porpoising I thought maybe this was allowing the RPMs to go up. Why...

    Hesitation at high rpm on Rochester 2bl

    My first trip out after the engine swap and I noticed for the first 15 min just tooling around at 3000 rpm everything seemed good. But after further acceleration past 4000rpm the engine will run up like everything is fine then start to sputter then begin dropping rpm rapidly. If I pump the gas...

    So I replaced my impeller on my 1998 Alpha one gen 2 3.0l mercruiser and it is overheating at idle speed goes up to 200-210 in the lake. But if I take the throttle to about 1500rpm it cools right back down to 150-160. I replaced the impeller, the base, gasket is correct, all hoses are free of...

    Magic eraser is the best cleaning product on the planet

    I'm beginning to think there really is magic in it. You know that nasty yellowish stain the back of your boat has if its like mine. This thing just takes it off with very little elbow grease. They are the real deal. Here is the before no after yet but imagine its all white

    98 Alpha one gen 2 trim bushing

    I have read there are 2 bushings on the lower trim cylinder mounted in the gimbal housing area not sure the technical term for it. I think mine are bad because I have a bit of play back there when I lift the drive by hand. So has anyone removed these and if so how did you do it?

    1998 Monterey 180 question

    I just purchased this boat and was digging around in the ski locker for some life vest stuck way in the back. I have never seen a ski locker that the underside of the deck is also fiberglass. Is it possible this boat is all fiberglass construction for the deck. It seems like a solid built...

    New boat engine swap question 3.0

    I have a 1986 3.0 140 hp engine that runs great no issue at all. I just bought 1998 Monterey 180 with a 3.0 but it has water in the cylinders. I only gave 500.00 for this boat/trailer and I want to swap my other 3.0 into it since the floor and transom is shot in the 1986. My question is can...

    GM 153ci vs. GM 181ci are they the same block..

    The reason I ask if they are the same block etc. is there are performance cams for the 153ci from comp cams but none for the 181ci. Here is a link to the iron duke cams 153ci the 260 even calls for a a marine application. http://www.compcams.com/catalog/046_047.html I could see getting 15-20...
