    5.7l a1g2 crank ran backwards

    Hey guys... I'm I'm the middle of my 96 bayliner restoration. I got the boat last summer and promptly pulled the drive and motor to start on ripping everything out (floor, stringers, transom, etc). Been sitting covered since and today I needed to hoist it into the boat to mark and measure...

    96 Bayliner 2050 - The Dirty Rotten Baystard

    Welp... I'm back from my week at the beach... I can't say I didn't think a lot about working on the boat while away, but was definitely nice to unwind and spend time with the family. Now that I've been back a few days, I had too much to do around the house since we were gone for a week that I...

    Another newbie for full restore.

    Agree with Scot and Jas... If you look hard enough, you can find a donor boat for less than that shift cable... Other than that, I say go for it! Your definitely not going to make money flipping boats like cars, so don't expect to come out ahead, but if its a boat you plan on keeping for a...

    Outdrive/Engine Stand Adapter

    So I'm not sure if this is allowed or not based on the forum rules, but I am making an adapter that goes in an engine stand that works as an outdrive stand. The idea is it will have the 6 bolts used on the alpha drives and mount to the same mounting face as the bell housing. This allows it to be...

    96 Bayliner 2050 - The Dirty Rotten Baystard

    Back at it last night! Finally got to crack open that first 5 gallon buck of resin. Mixed me up some extra thick PB and smeared it in the low spots on the transom where I had to grind out the dry delaminated chop strand. Before this, I took a piece of wood and ran it over my jointer to give it a...

    Carburetor Port

    Personally, I always preferred this style of clamp for rubber hose. They are typically used on hose for fuel injection systems which can be pretty high pressures. They also don't chew up the hose and give really even clamping pressure. I believe most autoparts stores stock them, but I can't...

    96 Bayliner 2050 - The Dirty Rotten Baystard

    So last night i popped my grinding cherry. I got about 2 hours in on the bow section. Its a SLOOOOOOOW go up there cuz there are some areas that have tons of glass. I figured if I got that over with first the back of the boat would be faster. While grinding through some of the thick stuff I...

    1994 Freshly Rebuilt 7.4L Temp??

    Not sure what exact cooling setup you have but you can see in this picture, the risers are cooled by the raw water sytem that bypasses the thermostat so like stated above, I would make sure your impellar is in good shape.

    Alpha 1 Gen 2 Max RPM

    Is there a max RPM limit on these drives listed anywhere? I see max RPM numbers listed for all the different motors but I'm wondering if the limit is based on the motor or the drive?

    96 Bayliner 2050 - The Dirty Rotten Baystard

    Well folks... I'm in deep now. I was getting the itch (if I had only known how itchy) for a project to keep me busy so I started browsing Craigslist. It started out as me looking for a good donor boat that I could rip out a 5.7 and Merc outdrive to swap into my 95 Stingray 606. So eventually...

    Merc 4.3 Lifter/Pushrod sizes

    I don't mean to keep starting a bunch of threads but this seemed a different enough question and may be helpful to others. In doing my research on a vortec head swap, I found some information that states the camshaft base circle dimension for the intake/exhaust is different on pre-92 motors. I...

    Cam Lift Question 4.3LX

    I was reading another thread that gave the lift and duration specs of all the early 4.3 auto motors and it looks like 92-95 Vin W cam was by far the best as far as lift goes. My question is, is there any risk with too much lift throwing that cam in when I do a vortec head swap? Thanks!

    95 Mercruiser 4.3 LX Vibration Issue/Alignment?

    Hi all, Fairly new around these parts and to boating in general. I purchased a 95 Stingray 606zp with a cracked block and just completed swapping the engine with a used 4.3 that's been "marinized"... I replaced the gimbal bearing while at it and used the alignment tool before installing the...

    4.3 Engine Swap Timing Cover

    Hi all, I'm new around these parts and I just acquired my first boat, a 95 Stingray 606zp. Got a good price on it because it had a cracked block so after doing some scouting around these parts I determined my best route was to get a used 4.3 from a truck which I did. Found a low mileage 89 S10...
