    3.0LX starter issues

    I have a 1993 Caravelle with the 3.0LX mercruiser. This spring when I went to start it, it was making an awful grinding sound. I talked with a friend and he said that the bendix must have went out and isn't engaging. So I bought a new starter. I finally got the chance to put the new starter in...

    Carb ID help

    Okay. I need to rebuild the carb on my 1993 caravelle with a Mercruiser 3.0LX inboard. I know it's a mercarb as it only has 1 fuel air screw. I know that I need either a 18-7098 or 18-7097 kit. The tag from the carb is gone. How do I know which kit I need? Thanks

    yamaha 4 stroke won't start

    My brother has a 2011 Yamaha F40LA on his pontoon boat. Last summer, which was brutally hot here in Nebraska, when we went to take it out of the water, it wouldn't start. Sprayed a little Carb cleaner in the air intake and it fired, but wouldn't run. It was a day that was 105 degrees, so I...

    mercruiser rotation question

    Okay, you guys have been super patient with me, but I have another question. I have a 1993 caravelle with a mercruiser alpha one Gen II. How do I know what rotation it is. I know by the S# it is a 1.98/1.94 ratio, but not which way it rotates. I need to replace the upper gear housing. Thanks guys.

    1993 Caravelle foam and floor questions.

    Okay, so I recently bought this boat. Had some great help already with the drive already. I thought I was going to have to do a complete rebuild on the hull, but I got lucky.

    alpha one gen 2 broken upper case

    So, I bought a 1993 caravelle mercruiser 3.0 w/ an alpha one Gen 2. I am assuming it is the 1.98 ratio. When I bought it, the guy said it was making a knocking sound in the out drive. It was apparently a broken gear set, but when I went to look into it, the upper case had broken off where it...
