    Water in my drive

    I have a '92 305 Merc with an Alpha one outdrive in my boat... today I pulled it out to start getting it ready for spring and when I drained the outdrive, about a cup full of water came out first, then the oil started draining. I changed the drive oil a year ago and there was no water in the...

    What is this carb inlet?

    Instead of rebuilding the old one, which had some wear and the bowls were kinda gunky, I decided to replace my Edelbrock 1409 carb on my '92 Merc 305. Everything seems to line up and function fine, however, when I got the motor running, I could hear a hissing and found this hole in the front of...

    Baffled! Runs out of water, won't run in water.

    I have a '92 Regal with a 305 Merc and Alpha One outdrive. When hooked up to muffs in the driveway, it starts and runs great. When I put it in the water, it turns over and won't crank at all. So far, I have a brand new battery, new plugs/wires, new fuel pump, cleaned carb and cleaned fuel tank...

    Thru-Hull Exhaust Installation

    This is probably a pretty common question, but how expensive do ya'll think it would be to install a basic thru hull system in my boat? I have a '92 Regal Valanti bowrider with a 305 Mercruiser and Alpha 1 outdrive. I don't need any spiffy looking tips beause it will mostly be invisible by the...
