    First time cleaning a carb, ruined the jets?

    I have a set of gun screwdrivers. Don't remember where I got them but they work perfectly. Straight shank and robust tips.

    How bad is it.

    Been running mine for five years with the same crack, repaired with jb. Chunks of rust always come out of the drains. Non issue. Be sure to poke them with a wire or sip tie to be sure they drain properly..

    4.3 Harmonic Balancer

    Seen to over the years that broke the crank just behind the lower timing gear. Those were chev 350's in cars/trucks. The pully was wobbly, but the darn things still ran. Scary when ya think about what could have happened. Don't think that's your issue but just a thing to check. Take the belts...

    Electric head, but no breaker

    There should be a breaker in the main panel. It's either labeled vacu-flush or head. Are all the breakers on in the panel?

    Winterizing my enclosed 3.0L merc in my 192 discovery

    Yeah. I kind of figured that but I would like to know what the op knows about the rig itself.

    Winterizing my enclosed 3.0L merc in my 192 discovery

    Enclosed? There has to be access to it. Some are rather tight but there is a way. How about some pictures?

    Can you use 2 stoke oil in a prestolite, trim pump?

    I use atf. Even in hydraulic jacks I use it. I've seen a few jacks over the years that failed. After dumping the jack oil, I fill with atf and they work again. The trim pump is a pump. Power steering is a pump also. It works for me.

    Mercontrol Shifter Issues

    At a certain point they do wear out. I've messed with some that style and found the housing where the slides are chewed up and bushings shot ect. At this point I'd think you had best look for a new housing control. You could take the chance and get a used one and use parts from both to make it...

    Quit My Job . . .

    Yeah. Some managers are spot on perfect. Others are so far south of what they do the whole business suffers.

    EFB Batteries

    I've had no luck with interstate batteries. Anything else I use is fine. Interstate used to be good but not any more.

    Lost oil in sterndrive

    What Scott said^^. Also remember that it won’t pressure check properly with the drive installed on the boat, the pressure will simply go to the oil tank in the engine bay Unless you can seal off the tank or line going to it.

    Electric head, but no breaker

    I'd suggest you have someone more familiar with boats and their systems have a look at your boat. It sounds like you don't know a whole lot about them. No offence inteded here.

    2018 Superhawk onboard charger

    Get a three bank charger. There are others out there, just find one that suits your needs. As far as running wiring, sometimes you have to create a path for it...

    Winterizing: Fuel in tank options?

    I store with however much fuel is left. This year should be 3/4 tank. No stabilizer, e-10. It always starts fine and performs well in the spring. Granted it's a 1984 mercruiser 140, but it works. On all my lawn equipment I only use preimum fuel, just because they can have issues as they sit...

    Wooden stringers

    I used marine plywood. More layers and no voids.

    Wooden stringers

    I used epoxy and clamped them together. Rounded the top edges so the glass would wrap well. I suppose tightbond three would be ok as you are wrapping them anyway.
