    1996 Four Winns Sundowner with 5.0 Cobra engine and drive

    The purpose was to stop fuel flow in case the fuel line started leaking between the tank and engine. Somewhere there is a vacuum specfication on them that so many inches of mercury to lift the ball. The aluminum ones were bad on the ball getting stuck. The solid brass ones are the best. Is...

    Many years ago I had a customer who pulled up a boat with a V6 OMC that had sunk during a hurricane. After repairing the engine along with everything else the boat would barely plane. Turned out below the deck was a solid mass of mud.

    Where is the idle mix adjustment on this carb on a 5.7 350 with Thunderbolt IV?

    The mixture screws are at the bottom in front slightly angled left and right away from each other. The screws are not slotted but are male oval shaped. You need to get the correct tool from any of the big box auto stores. If your carburetor is in good order the Quadrajets like 3 turns out from...

    280 outdrive bell housing seal and bearing replacement

    Is the engine out of the boat? If not and you have 4 cylinder then everything can replaced from the rear. Clean out the grease and remove the seal then the snap rings. The shaft and bearing can be pulled out with a slide hammer screwed into the shaft. Worse case could be the shaft splines...

    mercruser 888 wont rev past 2000 when in gear in the water

    Have you ever removed the suction tube from the tank? There is a fine mesh filter in it that clogs up over time. Get a 6 gallon outboard tank and take take the boat out. If it does better the engine will empty the tank pretty quick.

    Closed cooling through hull valve placement

    Past experience with 470s taught me to pull the head . I have tried every test in the past and unless the gasket was completely blown out none of the tests would show a leaking head gasket. Even when the gasket is not showing any leak places replacing the head gasket always cure the problem. I...

    Closed cooling through hull valve placement

    Are you sure the heat exchanger is cleat? Also when the engine overheats does it push coolant out of the fill cap. If it does you might be having a head gasket leak. They do not show up until there is a load on the engine.

    1996 Four Winns Sundowner with 5.0 Cobra engine and drive

    To prove out the problem set up a 6 gallon outboard tank so that it is easy to connect it to the fuel filter inlet. Run the boat until it starts slowing down then switch to the 6 gallon tank.

    Still baffled

    Those cables only go in the converter box 1 way as the pucks at the ends of the cables are different sizes. It could be that that the lower unit is an earlier model than the boat with hydro shift. Or the other way. If it works and does not slip just re-connect the cables in the control box...

    Overheating AQ125a leaking cooling sustem

    Give the RTV a try, just clean everything and let it set a few days. Be sure to drain the coolant below the leaks. Some RTV sealants may not hold up against coolant so be sure which one you use.
