Bought a Gheenoe last year with a Suzuki DT6 on it. I think it's an '85 cause that's what the boats registered as, but there's no letters in my serial number. I would like to change the impellar and gear lube but having a tough time finding info or manual for it. What gear lube is recommended...
I have a 2011 4.3l dry joint merc I'm replacing manifolds and risers on. As I was cleaning the head surface I found what looked like a small area of raised corrosion on the outside of the head. I filed it down and can lay a straight edge flush across it but my question is does the head surface...
The past few times I've flushed my 2011 4.3L MC I've heard a faint whistling coming from around the prop. Also, I flush with the drive all the way down water poors from around the housing(which I know is normal) but there is just a trickle of water leaving the prop. I remember my outboard...
I have a 2011 shorelander trailor single axle with hydraulic surge brakes. When trailering the boat with the 5 pin harness in I am able to maneuver in reverse with no problems. When I unplug to load and place the piston key in on the tongue I can really feel resistance in reverse and when the...
I have a 2011 mercruiser 4.3L Alpha1 and am looking for a Seloc (or similiar) manual. I have the factory service manual but it's limited to basic fluid checks and such. The latest model year I've seen is 2008.
Just reading my service manual on this rainy day for my 4.3l mercruiser and at 50 hrs it says" apply Corrosion Guard to the power package." Where exactly do I apply this to and are there any areas to avoid?
I'm planning a trip to Crystal River at the end of August and plan on boating around Kings Bay. I have an I/O and was told it may be to shallow. I've got a plotter/sonar so I'm not real concerned just wondering if anyone knows the average depth around there.
Just bought a '11 Sea Ray with a 4.3 I/O. I live in Florida on a salt water canal and was wondering how long I could leave the boat in the water for multiple uses. Is a weekend to long? Or even overnight gonna cause any serious corrosion that quickly?
I have been looking for several months at different model boats and really have not found anything in my area that I like. I have found several boats though all over the state and one in particular about 4 hours away. I would like to take a look at it but it is a brokerage boat and would want...
Sold my first boat a few months ago and have been looking for a late model one since. I've had my eye on a 2009 Key West 186 DC with a Yamaha 115 which really suits my tastes. I've been able to find good discussions about this model and am going to take a look at it soon, just wondering what...
Just sold my first boat and I've got one eye on another already. It's an '09 Key West 186 DC with bottom paint. I'm only used to seeing bottom paint, in Florida, on larger vessels. What exactly is the purpose of bottom paint and what are some of the advantages? I've read that depending on type...
On a 1989 125hp Force O/B,when re-sealing the powerhead to the mid-section is there a gasket that belongs between them? I've looked at the crowley diagrams and it looks like they only show an exhaust gasket for the match plate to powerhead.
