    Winterizing a 2020 4.3L duoprop

    Muc, How would you recommend going about getting the antifreeze into the cooling system? I would assume you could drain and then fill a bucket with 2 gallons of antifreeze and use a 12v pump with a hose going into the bucket on one end and a hose going to the flush port on the other? I...

    Winterizing a 2020 4.3L duoprop

    I went as far last year as ordering the service manual....which strangely shipped immediately from Europe but I was not billed for it for several months. Anyhow, there is nothing enlightening in it that isn't already mentioned in this thread. I believe the bulletin muc refers to talks about...

    I went through this last year for the first time....pretty much you do the normal extended lay-up steps related to fluids, battery, gas, etc., but when it comes to draining the raw water you just use the Volvo ez-drain to drain the heat exchanger. One thing to note, the manual says something...

    Tempest Plus on runabout??

    Guys, I found a good deal on a lightly used mercury tempest plus 21P/14.625 diameter prop. I am wondering if it would be a good fit for my boat. 1. 2010 Monterey 194fs (v bottom runabout--20' long, 8'4" beam, and about 3300 lbs). 2. Mercruiser 5.0 with 220 hp. 3. Alpha one gen 2 (1.62 ratio)...

    Water Tube Seal

    First off, this forum is great. Last weekend I replaced the impeller on my alpha 1 gen 2 drive with the help of this site. I was feeling good as I did it properly with alignment pins and perfect seal (the aviation equivalent) on the lower gasket. However, I messed up a bit when reassembling...
