I recently picked up a 99' bow rider with a 7.4 MPI and Bravo 3 drive. All my experience with Mercruisers has always been on older carbed motors with Alpha 1 drives.
I've wanting to go through and do the standard maintenance things before I get the boat out for a long weekend on the lake. I'm going to change the drive oil, water pump impeller, and fuel filter/water separator.
From what I have read...there is no impeller in the lower unit, there is actually a pump on the motor where the impeller is located. Is that right?
And instead of a standard screw on fuel/water separator.....this MPI should have a cartridge filter located down in a canister next to the electric fuel pump mounted on the motor? Right?
Just trying to learn all I can before I dive into this.
Thanks!!
