Wiring up a new starter . Original had 3 posts. New one has 4 (two for yellow) When connecting the battery
after install I heard a quick electrical pop. Now no power to anything. Checked all the fuses and all ok. The circuit breaker is not pushed out to reset either.
I'm obviously missing a...
Thanks for the response!
1) possible
2) connected and fine
3) possible as the boat got filled up with water this past winter, long story but has run amazing all summer considering I had a cracked block now fixed w/jb weld. I am now going through and cleaning the rust off the wiring. Orange wire...
After a long summer of Fixing a cracked block with JB weld , replacing the Gimble , U joints , new carpet and other items this summer I had a bizarre couple of days on the lake this weekend.
Went to get the boat on the lake and during Colorado's invasive species bilge de-con and the boat...
Well guess it's on to the next fix after just replacing the gimble and u-joints.
A couple of summers ago I notice a few drops of water coming from underneath the manifold and eventually it caused a small rust stain on the block. Unfortunately last winter I had to store the boat outside and a...
Just thought I'd post a few thoughts on both jobs. Took it out for the first time and had a horrible banging when turning so back to the dock and back to the house. Pulled off the lower unit and found the forward u-joint toast in two of the arms.
Gimble seemed fine but decided to replace it with...
Finally had a chance to change out the Impeller. I actually had saved the impeller from P.O. (when I did this one 3 seasons ago) and compared the new it was still in pretty good shape. Just turned fins but still thick and pliable. Here is the pic of what I found, just blown apart and...
Well, didn't get around to winterizing the boat his year. Long story but just went to fire it up for the first time
and got a little rusty flow for about 10 sec. ( guessing water held in upper motor all winter) and then nothing. Let it cool down and fired it up again ( lower unit fully submerged...
Hey all, Just putting the lower Unit back on after U-joint and gimble bearing inspection. Have the seal kit that just came in. Any Gasket goo recommended or just the Dry seal between the Lower Unit and Gimble Housing?
Thanks........
Hi All, I have a 97 Mercruiser 3.0 LX that came on a Bayliner Capris I've owned for ( this summer) 3 years. A Relative commented last summer ( previous same boat owner) that he thought it was vibrating rather loudly. Engine seems in great shape with relatively low hours for the year. I replaced...
well I thought I had solved the drive oil leak. I had a small amount of gear lube coming out the port water intake holes.
new to the boat late last fall so I pulled off the lower and replaced the water pump and seals, the 3 drive shaft seals below the pump, the shift shaft seal and rubbers and...

98 ALPHA ONE GEN II
DOING THE WATER PUMP etc
I imagine the drive shaft seal ( face seal) has to go under the pump housing? mushroom on top and seal flange under top of housing?
My damn kit did not come with the face seal tool so can anything else be used?
Thanks!
