    Tried to start it, but it just cranks and backfires through the carb. pulled the head and it seems like the head gasket is blown between 2 and 3. The cylinders look very good, no scratching. can anyone please tell me the fel pro part number for a 1989 mercruiser 3.0 head gasket. I wonder if the...

    3.0 pistons squeaking... doesn't sound good.

    Hello Was working on a friends boat today, after he overheated it. He didn't even know that the outdrive had an impeller. I pulled the drive apart and the impeller was NLA🙄. The pieces dropped down into the intake grate so I got lucky there. Tried to start the thing after putting the new...

    Smokercraft 162 pro mag bow always high

    the only thing I can think of is waterlogged foam under the floor. Also make sure you trim it in before you get out on plane.

    Battery combiner sudden load question

    Hello everyone. I was thinking about building a battery combiner for my boat to have the engine charge my trolling motor batteries in between fishing spots. I typically sit for about 10 min at one spot and move to another one so I was thinking I could get some juice in on those runs. I am going...

    12v to 24v trolling motor???

    what gauge wiring do you have currently, and how long are the wires? I hope the trolling motor was not tapped in to the main wiring in the boat, and the TM has its own battery right?

    Suzuki DF250S pumping fuel into air intake

    the ecm should have an electronic control to start and stop the lift pump which fills the VST. You can hear the lift pump run when you first turn on the ignition before starting the engine. Check that it stops when the VST is full.

    General MAP sensor question

    Hello, I have a fairly general map sensor question. The engine is a 2008 DF200, but that is not really relevant. My map sensor was showing 117 kpa pressure when I removed it in my hand. I tried blowing or sucking on it but that does not change the reading. After tapping it against the intake...

    Outboard repaint - need suggestions on materials

    I actually prefer to tape them off then I don't mess up the bond or cover the bonding area or threads with paint. Maybe there are other reasons to remove that I don't know about? Anyways I managed to get the first basecoat down today on the hood and lower unit. Full hiding will be achieved after...

    Outboard repaint - need suggestions on materials

    I did look through that thread, and it seems like bud used the valspar stuff. Seems like it is the acrylic urethane. BUT that was a SS paint, I am going BC/CC. I guess I will try find polyurethane CC and then if I can't I guess I will be fine with the acrylic. Once I am done I will post back...
