    1967 Mercury 350 parts

    Hi guys, looks like I had a 1967 Mercury 350 serial # 2097230 dropped off in my garage because the engine had bearing failure on one cylinder. I took it apart and the one piston head is toast and the cylinder walls are scored. Looks like the needle bearings go jammed between the piston head and...

    My newly restored boat was doing just fine until this past weekend. After a fun afternoon pulling the kids around on the tube, it was time to head for home. I loaded the boat back onto the trailer and my wife noticed that water was coming from the bottom of the hull. I took a look and said...

    Hard to start when warm, then no power

    My 70hp Chrysler starts on 1st or 2nd try when cold and it runs fine. If I take it out for a spin, everything runs normally until I shut it off. I have a hard time to get it going when it's warm. It seems to turn fine but it just won't catch. <br /><br />The neutral interlock switch has been...

    Chrysler Overheat Alarm (buzzer)

    Hi all,<br /><br />I need an overheat alarm for my 1979, 70hp Chrysler, Model # 709H9A, Serial # 2056 as the original horn itself no longer works. Do I need a dealer part or can I use any kind of 12 volt horn (buzzer)? The other question would be, should I just hook up a temperature sensor...

    One day there were two drunks on a boat drinking beer. All of a<br />sudden, a big storm approached. It tossed the boat from here to<br />there, up and down, left and right.<br /><br />When it passed, the drunks were stranded in a life boat for a few<br />days. Just when they thought it was all...

    1979 Chrysler 70HP Lower Unit

    I had a boat given to me (Cruisers inc. 19' Tri-Hull to be refurbished) along with a 70HP Chrysler motor. I had the motor in a homemade tank for testing purposes. After a week or so in the tank and running it several times I noticed a bit of oil floating on the water. I know this is normal but...
