    I just bought a 2025 Bayliner VR5 with the 200hp 4.5L Mercruiser, BARELY pulls me up slalom

    If you are wanting to do lots of water sports with that set up, drop to a 3 blade 17". You might spin up too high on rpm at WOT but just back it down.

    Single point drain

    Turn the valve, poke the block drains, should be good to go. It should be sitting level or close as you can get it.

    Single point drain

    To clarify a few things...you're in NH right? So freshwater boat right? Are you winterizing on the trailer or in the water? The blue plug on the side of the thermostat housing is to be used to vent the cooling passages if you are draining it while still moored in the water. If in the water...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    I see these center consoles with 6 engines and I just don't see how fiberglass alone holds up that weight/torque. It would seem like steel braces or something would be required. Even in your case...geez all that weight cantilevered over that far? Will there be any way to inspect those areas...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Others know more than me at this level but it seems having duo props on a twin installation would make no sense.

    Mercruiser 5.0 Mpi issue

    My 2002 5.0 MPI has 1,618 hours. Still turns 5000 rpms runs like new. All fresh water trailered though.

    Mercruiser exhaust question

    My MPI has the three studs and nylon lock nuts 10mm that hold it tight. They are very easy to get on/off. That's a great thought tho Scott. Hadn't thought of something like that. My only other thought is some kind of ventilation going on.

    A video/audio would help.

    Mercruiser exhaust question

    Do you mean you had it out for the first time after the cooling system overhaul? Describe the cooling system overhaul. What was done?

    Mercruiser 5.0 Mpi issue

    I do too it was nasty, then I came to my senses. But what does that have to do with QBhoy's issue?

    Mercruiser 5.0 Mpi issue

    I've owned this motor since new in 2002 and I've not experienced that. It has 1,620 hours. I've replaced cap/rotor every few years, that's all. I'll follow along.

    Not to pry but curious, does this mean you get your steering/trim problem fixed?

    Looking to stabilize my alum boat

    When I was late twenties and had a 14' Alumacraft I thought all of the rocking was exciting. Even enjoyed the challenge of rough waters. Now not so much lol.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    I'm wanting to the same thing. My knees are telling me I need to stop crawling around in the back of this thing.

    Looking to stabilize my alum boat

    One of the downsides to smallish aluminum boats, especially riveted. Notice your chine is rounded lending itself to less side to side stability. It's done that way because aluminum is most strong when bent. Other than what Scott says above, not much can be done.

    2008 bayliner 192 discovery

    Fairly heavy cuddy, 225hp I assume is a 4.3, kicker motor to boot, might need to drop to a 19" 3 blade. My best guess.

    Overheat after high RPM run 350 MPI from 2001 with bravo one

    Exhaust shutters have dislodged and are blocking exhaust ways in drive. At lower speeds the relief ports are enough to handle it. At WOT they cannot. Check your exhaust shutters. Exact same thing happened to mine but I'm talking Alpha 2 so not sure the same.

    I was going to use Rust-Oleum Topside Paint, but then I accidentally discovered COMET cleaner..

    I had to Comet wash my car after it sat under a Bradford pear in the fall. Yeah Comet will do the job. You wanna follow up with a good polymer or wax though.
