    4 blade vs 3 blade torque

    Considering a 4 blade for next season on my 21’ I/O and thought I would pose a question. There is one thing that bothers me about single engine right hand prop boats and that’s the fact that prop torque creates a port side list while underway. This is why most boats are controlled from the...

    I realize much has been written on the subject of proper percentage of fuel in the tank for winter storage but it seems I've read where the worst scenario is a half full tank. Can someone help me understand the thinking behind this? I realize the logic ranges from completely full to keep out...

    5.0 MPI fuel question

    Question: If I put a new fuel filter on my 5.0 MPI and prime it by turning the key to start position several times, shouldn't the filter be full of fuel when I remove it? It's not. Little to no fuel appears in the filter. Could this be the key to my stalling problem? If I fill the filter...

    5.0 MPI stalls

    I have a 2002 5.0 MPI with 1,100 hours. Sometimes after it's hot it doesn't want to run. It starts but stalls out. I've found the way to get it running again is to loosen the fuel filter and wait a few minutes then it will restart and run fine. Otherwise it's running great. During one of...
