I have a 1994 volvo 5.0 fi. Sometimes the fuel pumps come on, sometimes they don't. Changed pump relay, same problem. Then I started messing with battery switch and on 1 or 2 it rarely works but on all it seems better. It cranks but no start, so maybe there is no spark either during this...
Hi all, I had a question about my 302 5.0. I was at lake the other day and struck a log or something pretty hard. I stopped and looked around at outlive and saw no damage. When I went to take off the boat started cutting out and missing. I noticed the low pressure fuel pump was not coming on...
Hi all, I have an issue that I have never had with massive amount of water in oil. I just purchased a 1994 Chaparral 225 with a Volvo 5.0 fi and volvo drive. I got it at home and ran it on muffs and it started right up and ran fine. I Checked the oil, the level was fine and looked good. So I...
I had a question about the lower shift cable. I had bought a lower shift cable for a 1986 Tiara with the 5.7. I ended up not needing to change it but kept the cable. Now I have a 1979 chris craft scorpion 260 with the Twin merc 5.7s. One of the lower shift cables is bad. Will the shift...

Hi guys, I have a late 70s mercruiser 260 with the mc1 setup and its leaking water in the bilge when running. At first thought I figured it was a ypipe seal but when I took off outdrive I noticed that there was no Oring around the water inlet port going into the bell housing. The ujoint...
Hey guys, I have a boat with an original 1979 mercruiser 260 and I'm having a terrible time putting the starter from my 1986 mercruiser 260 on. I noticed that the mouse thing holes on older starter are not off set but block still has holes. It's a pia.
Hi all, I just picked up a 79 stinger with twin mercruiser 260s. I was wondering if there is reverse rotation with one engine, and how does it work, engine or outdrive. The outdrives are pre alpha and I'm not sure how to test and know if LUs are going into gear. Thank for your help in advance.
I swapped out my old mercruiser 5.7 with a newer 5.7. The old motor had 2 piece rear main seal and the newer one is a 1 piece. Doing this I had to use the triangle coupler with snout. My question is will this hook up to my alpha 1 gen 1 without issues? Do I need to update the u-joint shaft...
Hi guys, I'm having an issue where I can't get my boat to go over 4000 rpms. I installed a new engine everything is fine but it gets to 4000 rpms and stays there. I adjusted secondarys to open easier but still the same problem. For the heck of it, I took it to the lake and I shoved a screw...
I have the Gen 1 outdrive, will it mount to the newer coupler? I am already going to have to get a new flywheel starter and coupler, id like to keep the outdrive, is it possible, it sure looks the same?
