    2002 Volvo Penta SX outdrive leak

    Hi I did replace them. So is the consensus to try it out or should I start changing seals? Based on what I have been reading it is usually the DP drives that are more to leaking while under load, but again I am just a noob and that is why I am asking the experts.

    Mercruiser 3.0 backfire

    Have 1992 Mercruiser 3.0. Have been tinkering with it for a while now. Last issue was a defective pentronix ignition coil. I have since replaced it and over all it has been running really well. The new issue is a back fire when going over 4000 rpm. Not continues and not instantaneous but...

    I have 1991 mercruiser 3.0 with alpha one drive. As quick background this spring I have replaced the lower shift cable as well as the throttle cable, after doing so I had no issues with shifting other than the lever was still a bit stiff.

    1992 Mercruiser 3.0 problems running under load

    I knew I should have done it myself but I was trying to be nice :) I know the parts were good quality, do you have any input of which part of the carburetor got worse as I kept using the boat? Just wondering if I need to take the entire thing apart. Thanks to everyone for their help thus far.

    1992 Mercruiser 3.0 problems running under load

    I have checked the filter in the carburetor and it was clean and looked good. I am not aware of where the water separator filter would be. Same with the vacuum, I tried figuring out where the port is but can't find it. Watched some videos but still not clear.

    propeller issue at low speed

    Thanks Hub is replaceable, I was just wondering if there is a place you can buy just the plastic hub insert for less without buying the entire hub kit. I know there are hub kits where the metal is imbedded in the plastic, but for kits like torq II for example the plastic is separate and it is...

    propeller issue at low speed

    Hi Chris Thank you for the info. When I have examined the hub inside it looked like it is cracked all over and has seen better days. Thank you for the advice. Is there a place to just buy the plastic inserts or do you always have to buy the entire hub kit?

    propeller issue at low speed

    Hi guys, Hope you can help me with this. I got a brand new propeller (4 blade instead of 3 I have used thus far). Took the boat out and it makes the outdrive shake/wobble when I start speeding up so at about 10-15 mph, after that it runs fine. No issue at lower speed either so when I move at...
