    Mercruiser 5.7mpi horizon single cylinder burning lean

    Photo's don't work, MODs have been trying to get it fixed for a long time but iBoat Admins don't care. I'm out out ideas, it looks white so running a bit lean, but might not be enough to cause damage

    trolling for hours then oil pressure alarm goes off

    Don't have enough info to determine what happened. The sei is same as alpha and thanks for clarifying If the couple is what gave up, then the water pump stopped turning so it was overheat issue. Being unable to get above 10 mph it lost thrust. Don't see the over heating causing the problem and...

    trolling for hours then oil pressure alarm goes off

    Would do same with alarm going off Need to find out what actually happened. Start back up and oil press is good so that's not the issue. If you have an alpha drive, motor won't go above 2500 and could be coupler gave up, and you started overheating

    2002 5,7 Mercruiser exhaust manifold keeps cracking - 5 times this summer

    The thingy is a check ball and is used to restrict water from coming in past it when running. It allows water to pass in other direction during winterization

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Got the boat back a few days ago, most all is good. New complete trim pump unit. Only issue is trim gauge needs to be adjusted. Will call dealer tomorrow to get some pointers, but most likely I'll just do it my self then hauling it back

    2002 5,7 Mercruiser exhaust manifold keeps cracking - 5 times this summer

    Your correct, restrictor goes next to manifold I'm looking at the manual prior to posting link and looked like PPT posted it correctly, so I linked it for visual. Comparing PPT to manual I see PPT is showing how to place gasket with a closed cooling, BUT they should be showing a block off gasket

    Bravoitis Repair Question

    ok, that is a compression fitting, so the rubber when compressed will hold the plastic pipe The drive has water pressure against it but not that high. So long as the pipe is inside the fitting, and the rubber disc is compressed as listed in documentation, it will hold

    2002 5,7 Mercruiser exhaust manifold keeps cracking - 5 times this summer

    I looking for just how the water flows thru the motor and out to see if there is something on the port side which can restrict flow.
