    For the gauges, Grey is the tach (signal), black is batt neg B- and purple is power/ignition batt positive B+. Grey wire comes off the coil neg (or on the more sophisticated ignitions, the tach terminal) for the tach signal. Are you sure that is the way the back of the tach is connected? Did...

    Assembling exhaust manifolds, risers and elbows - Loctite 510?

    The graphite gaskets go on dry..... No sealant on them. Believe they are talking about the bolt holes (bolt threads), not exhaust / water holes, unless you are using the cheapo paper gaskets. If paper gaskets, then slather away.

    Could be a problem if debris was in the line and it got plugged up.. Some pumps have them built in. I know the one I installed in a small boat did. don't recall the name.

    gimbal bearing house hit by trailer while emergent braking before red light.

    I think I know what you are implying (have changed a few in my years), but look closely and you can see a mismatch on it. Never seen an intact gimbal ring look like that. Or there is something there that shouldn't be there.

    Slow trim response

    Plus the volume of oil needed to go up is less than down, due to the cyl rod being in only 1 end of the cyl. If you over fill the tank while drive is down, it will over flow at full up.

    Cracked Mercruiser 165 block

    Pretty decent looking deck boat for $200. Could be a great fishing boat. If transom / hull isn't bad, I would grab it and just plunk another engine in it for that money.

    gimbal bearing house hit by trailer while emergent braking before red light.

    Yup, the gimbal ring is busted. That ring can be replaced, but I will bet a box of donuts there is other damage in there that isn't so obvious. You didn't say what year / make / model the boat is That gimbal assy looks like it needs to removed to be resealed, since someone just gobbed on...

    1997 Mercruiser 5.7 EFI blown head gasket

    Perhaps someone didn't verify the timing of the dizzy #1 wire tower with TDC on the crank when re-installing the dizzy. Then installed the plug wires and corrected it by twisting the dizzy till it fired it and timed it off that. The pictures of where the #1 is all fine and good till someone...
