The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
2 barrel rochester id imagine.......it's on a 1993 4.3 Mercruiser.
Im not sure if a lump of corrosion freed itself in a gas line somewhere and went for the carburetor or what happened here.
Anyhow, I took the filter off at the carb and it had a clod of rust/white crud in a lump. I took all the...
This is a fuel filter that supercedes a canister that mercruiser has on my 92 model 4.3 motor.
I am wondering if an aftermarket fuel water separtor will work. I bought one with a 10 micron filtration to it.
The part number in the title is a kit form and is $120.00. Can I use the aftermarket...
ok, i have a 93 4.3 and my friend has a 94 - 4.3, essentially the same motors. he's having a fuel pump problem and it looks like it goes with the one i had. we both bought fresh water vessels that probably never seen rough water before, and now run them in salt, tides, currents and such.
i...
i put this in the wrong forum, sorry........
when a fuel pump has power, should it run constantly? this one is triggering and not running fully. here goes
a freind of mine just bought a 94 I/O Mercrusier 4.3 with an electric fuel pump. since i had a problem with mine, i took him through the...
a freind of mine just bought a 94 I/O Mercrusier 4.3 with an electric fuel pump. since i had a problem with mine, i took him through the steps to see where power made it to.
his made it all the way to the pump. we took it off and jumped the oil pressure switch and when the pump was held in my...
Once again you kept my vessel out of the shop. Thank You, I personally love you but am sure many don't think the same. Like the repair shop 2 miles down the road.
There's some damn good people that come in here and thanking each and every one would be impossible. I had a problem happen at the...
4.3 carbed mercruiser, 1993 electric feul pump.

My guess this monster is going to go for less that $10K US
Even if you...
i just took this switch off to clean as one of the steps to take to find out why my trim was not working in the up.
i saw that there were splines, and they didnt go all the way around the switch. was one missing, maybe broke off. im talking about on the plastic switch here.
next thing is when...
Last time out my trim guage on my Alpha I Gen II drive started flipping up and down. The guage never went to full down although the drive tilt and trim were all the way down.
I checked the fluid and it was fine. Should I start my checks on electrical or the hydraulic and mechanical system...
is installing a lanyard safety switch difficult to do? the kit wuld obviously have wiring instructions wouldn't it?
im sure i would have to drill a hole in the dash correct, or is there another way?
I need something like this added to the boat. If I'm cinfusing anyone, I'd like a wristband...
1993 Mercruiser 4.3
Went out today fine tuned my cleaning, hooked up the muffs and the bendix was spinning.
3 weeks ago when I got the boat all terminals came off and were cleaned and corrosion proofed. Everything to me is clean, very clean.
So what gives, take the starter out? I have another...
What information can I supply someone that could lead them to pointing me in the right direction for the propeller size of my boat.
I believe what's going on is a cavitation burn in the propeller. I also believe that the wrong propeller may be on the boat. There is a second one that came with...

Not sure if this post goes here, but being new and able to listen to people in the know, this article here for starter trouble was perfect.

I understand this may take porposing out the travel of the boat.
My sterndrive serial number is 0D861896 and there are no holes obviously for this part.
I am wondering if this takes away from the drives stability since the factory doesn't have the setup for this.
The mounting doesn't look...
Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the dash board for the Thomspon 2000 Cararra. If you need the hull number, I can go get it.
Otherwise, does anyone know where I can find it?
Thanks.
I can buy a 93 thompson "Pleasure" boat, with a cuddy in damn near mint condition. I live in salt and this boat has never seen it.
I have a 1991 Galaxy FISHING Boat, which I love to death. I was going to scrap it until I went back and looked at it because it struck me the new boat is Alpha One...
Well it's come to total idiocrosy on my part.<br /><br />A compression test showed absolutely no compression in # 1 or 5 and 30 psi in # 3<br /><br />Starboard side had 150 psi on all 3 cylinders.<br /><br />Can I get away with taking the head off and checking for valve sticking or rusting or am...
