    Chartplotter flashes the backlight then....nuth'n

    Howdy folks. Nice to see the weather turning, gettin excited! I recently bought a Bayliner Avanti 3258 which came with a GeoNav 11c colour chartplotter. As far as I know it's distributed by Navionics out of Italy. I haven't used it much more than five minutes but it was working when I...

    '88 Johnson 110 Plug wires

    Just got one of my boats back from my brother. He tells me it was running rough and he checked the plugs. I looked at it and something doesn't seem right. Should the coil wires be crossed on one side or should they be top coil-top cylinder/bottom coil-bottom cylinder? Right now the port side...

    Torque values

    One last thing to do after replacing the head gasket on my 1988 3.7litre Mercruiser. Does anyone have the torque values for the bolts which fasten the exhaust elbow/coolant resevoir to the manifold? I have a Clymer manual and I can't find the specs.....the only damn one too. Thanx, Doug

    Merc 3.7litre hp upgrade

    Good Evening iboaters, I have been tearing apart my standard '88 Merc 3.7l to diagnose a problem and was wondering if making it the 190hp is as simple as changing the intake manifold and carb to the 4bbl and adapting the throttle linkage to suit. While looking for parts for my engine I came...

    Perplexing compression numbers

    Good evening iboaters, 88 Merc 3.7l. I have an overheat problem and after a few visits to a "reputable" local shop I still have the problem, although not when running on the muffs.

    Penta starter/solenoid question

    Good Day iboaters, Something is amiss in my 94 penta 4.3lGL. Starter wasn't engaging flywheel when power applied so I removed and disassembled it, it was a mess with the bendix frozen on the shaft. Cleaned everything, polished the shaft and reassembled. The ring gear slides freely on the drive...

    1994 Merc 150XRi sloppy reverse

    Hi all, Just got a boat with this motor. Shifting into reverse takes about 4" on the throttle lever before fully engaging. I am moving the lever at what I would consider a reasonable speed to ensure positive engagement. The feedback in the lever and noise coming from the lower sound like the...
