Thinking about buying a 2005 Bayliner 175 with the Mercruiser 3.0 in it.
This is a 4 banger? Looks like it from the pics.
Having had a VOlvo Penta I want something a bit more reliable and cheaper to fix should it ever need it....
Is this fuel injected, throttle body, or carbuerator??
THanks...
As someof you recall the 40th Anniversary "Great Race" occured July 23rd up in Nanaimo BC.
Just got this picture from a fellow racer yesterday at another race.
It's not ME that looks rough, check out the big boat behind me - and that's INSIDE the harbor!
We had 35 mph gusts, passed small craft...
Bit of history - bought the boat after it sat for two years.
It had 1/2 tank gas in it. I put two bottles of heet, a bottle of octane/cloeaner, filled hte tank up......
With o ther issues we never had the boat out for any super length of time.
Then I put a 17" pitch prop on - it's too small...
I've got this problem fixed but wanted input and/or to suggest what I did.<br />1986 19' Bayliner capri, AQ-131 and 275 outdrive.<br /><br />On the AQ-131 is a pipe coming off the left rear (facing the back of the boat) of the heat exchanger.......<br />The pipe carries the sea-water through the...
Got a 2003 Merc 8 hp outboard and was given a couple of 1994 props.<br /><br />They seem to not have the recess where it goes against the thrust washer in the back, obviously not fitting correctly.<br /><br />Is there a cheap way to modify these to fit the 2003 merc?<br /><br />I'm thinking not...
I've found a place (CDI Electronics) that sells aftermarket ignition systems for Merc outboards.<br /><br />I've got a 2003 Merc 8hp that is going to be for racing, and racing only.<br /><br />Right now it's a factory stock engine, I have heard that Mercs do not like to be revved up past the...

Finally, I finally found a method to keep my boat dry.<br /><br />If you have a 19' boat, this is about the only thing i can think of to keep the rain from puddling up on the tarp and filling your boat.<br /><br />This worked during the last two nights heavy rainstorms.......and we're expecting...
Well we had a gorgeous day, 55 degrees, sunshine and we expected 2 days of rain to follow.<br /><br />So I ran across the street to the county property we st ore our boats on and grabbed my boat.<br /><br />If you recall I finally just pulled the covers off as it was so wet inside it made no...
I've seen SOooooooooooooo many people just pull the covers on their boat lately. I guess I am not alone.<br /><br />This is why I cannot keep my boat dry, currently teh wind is howling about 40mph, but this explains why it's been so wet this year!<br /><br />I just figured, it's a boat and meant...
Never mind, I quit.......250 gallosn of rainwater in my boat are still draining........poles, two by fours, NOTHING worked.<br /><br />It's time to rent a warehouse.
My boat is an outside boat, we have a piece of county property in our neighborhood that we can park RV's and boats in.<br />No electricity there.<br />Home covenance says no boats or RV's in teh driveway unless they are being worked on (That sucks but we have a nice neighborhood)<br /><br />Well...
