Ok guys I'm feeling inept and need your help.
I broke this tube wrestling the lower unit. It's a pretty straightforward simple piece but I can't find it online or know what it's called? It's just the water tube that has 2 oringgs on each end for the lower unit on my 2014 250ho.
What is it called...
Hey folks.
I have a 2014 etec 250 ho.
The last 2 times out, while just cruising my water temp light and alarm will go off.
I'll slow to a no wake speed for a bit and it goes back off.
It's still pushing a good strong pee stream, the water in the stream isn't hot.
Where should I start?
The book calls for synthetic 2 stroke oil. ( Evinrude brand of course)
We have conventional in the tank now. To switch to synthetic do I need to drain the old or can they mix?
Thanks
Hey all.
We have just moved up to ( over to?)
A 2012 Manitou tritoon. From our 97 rinker 212. Living it so far but I'm sure we have lots to learn, can't wait to start reading , learning enjoying and sunburning
Hey all,
We recently purchased a pontoon with an Evinrude 250 HO.
We've gone thru what seems like a lot of oil in this thing it has a tank that's about a gallon and we've refilled it 3 times. Can anyone tell me what is normal? We have a 40 gallon fuel tank. I had thought someone told me that the...
After looking through the book, I'm realizing that I don't have a safter clip, for the emergency shut off. Is is possible they had it rigged and something came loose?
Hi all . We just bought a 2012 tritoon with a 250 ho Evinrude.
First trip out for us and the engine stalled about 5 minutes in and will not crank. Seems to have plenty of juice but if I turn the key, only a few jumping gauges. No click, no attempt to turn over. Is there a kill switch that I am...
Sorry if it's long , please bare with me.
i overhauled my engine last year, 97 4.3 this year was having trouble. Found a dead cylinder and then a cracked head and bad valve.
Replaced the head but couldn't get it running right and was getting water in the oil.
Built a new engine. Started to pull...
Block was prepped by the machine shop much faster than expected,
Now I need a new cam and lifter set. where is the best source for mercruiser parts or do you recommend any aftermarket?

Hey Guys
it seems my 97 4.3 is DOA
I have another donor engine to build and if im doing so Id like to build a bit more power into it.
thinking maybe more cam, an aluminum intake and ( is a 4bbl overkill ?)
also, is an hei distributor a doable or helpful swap? im not familiar with the...
Looking for a bigger boat , I saw a nice four winns. I know nothing about the Volvo Penta set ups. Are there certain things to look for? Are they more or less reliable than mercruiser?
its a 2002 5 0 dual prop
Thanks in advance
Hi all. 96 4.3 lost power had water in oil. Gray milkshake.
compression check was 200 in all but cylinder 5 which is zero. Valve train looks ok
I just did rings and bearings etc last summer.
Pulled the head and found no obvious problem with gasket or head.
Thoughts?
