    Wiring question at the motor -- 94' Merc 4.3 - disconnected wires

    The drive needs to be in the lower/down position while running the boat. If its raised up, you're putting the gimbal and shaft, u-joints in a bind If you need to, lower the front trailer jack ALL the way down, so you can lower the drive down.. Don't let it touch the ground or anything, but get...

    Other engine sounded meaner

    A guy brings us a 80s model ski boat with a locked up v8 in it. We pulled the heads, one valve was the size of a dime. Horrible looking inside. We replaced his engine with a newer v8. He shows up to hear it run and says "The other engine sounded "meaner". " -- I told him "I can pull a plug wire...

    Mercruiser 3.0 Fuel Water Separator Mounting Location

    Hello boaters! I've been trolling through images and posts trying to find a good mounting location to install a fuel water separator in my boat. I have seen several, the one I come across most is Rocky_Road's location. There isn't much room next to the engine in mine, nor the raised piece to...

    Dim Dash - Instrument Panel Switch Lights

    This is my dash. It is so hard to see at night. My toggle switches have no lights. The words (Horn/Nav/Anchor/Blower/Pump) are not lighted (solid panel, no lights behind them) -- At night, I cannot tell which switch is which, or if they are on, or anything. I've looked at making another dash...

    Creative Minds - Fill The Hole

    I'm going to be pulling the stereo from below the glove box and moving it to an under dash mount by the steering wheel. This will leave me with a nice size hole on the port side. I'm trying to come up with ideas as to what I can do with the hole. Sure, I can fill it and have nothing, but what...

    Volvo Drive Stuck Up - Sometimes Stuck Down

    Hi guys, normally I'm messing with Mercruiser stuff, but this is the very first volvo drive I've even looked at. The boat was stored for 2 years, with the drive up. On the first attempt to lower the drive, pushed the down button, motor whirled a bit, and finally the drive went down. Then it went...

    Mercruiser 3.0 - 2 barrel merc carb

    Ok, just looked at the fuel pump.. No clear tube at all. What I did notice was horrible. It has just a regular rubber hose on it, not a safety tube that seals/shrinks if a fire. I also noticed a lot of discoloration on the tip of the tube itself and around the fuel pump. (Im trying to get the...

    Mercruiser 3.0 - 2 barrel merc carb

    I've searched around and cannot come to any real conclusions about my issue, so I decided to ask here. I'm running a 1992 mercruiser 3.0 with a 2 barrel merc carb. Boat has ran great, idles around 650. It always had the (sometimes it wants to bog down if you try to go WOT from an idle) -- carb...

    Mercruiser Points OMC electronic

    I have a 1991 Mercruiser 4 cylinder that has points. My buddy bought a 1993 OMC 4 cylinder that has an electronic ignition. I was curious if I could use his distributor from his OMC and stick it straight into my mercruiser. If so, does anyone know the process? Thank you

    Gps

    Hi everyone, I know this topic has been discussed a lot, and I've searched and read what seems like hundreds of threads about GPS units on boats. There was one single thread that mentioned an auto gps unit being used on the water. But it escapes me in my search for the name of the unit. Here is...
