    Sky ski?

    Faceplant or wipe out on skis and you come out of the bindings, may have water in an orifice or two, may have your swim trunks 30 feet away, may have to swim for both the trunks and the ski now floating in the weeds..... may even have mud in your face from crashing in shallow water. But you are...

    V-P 5.7 Gxi intake on 383 stroker?

    VP never used the Gen 1 motor at 6.2 liters. They used the 8.1 until 2014 (6 years after GM quit making them) They adopted the LS Gen 3 and Gen 4 motors Going 6.2 is easy Get a 6.2 long block (no stuff bolted to it) Such as this one...

    Canadian boats have HINs as well. Get the HIN and that will tell you Normally I would say reach out to the customer service folks...... however Campion brand no longer exists again. As they shuttered their doors again about 2 years ago. This would have been the 3rd or 4th time the brand went...

    MerCruiser 5.0 Carb Engine Compression Test, Two Piston came back with Zero

    head gaskets are almost never an issue - water in the cylinders from failing riser gaskets usually is is this a fresh water boat, or a salt water boat? with numbers this low, at a minimum, pull the exhaust, pull the intake, then pull the heads and investigate what needs to be repaired. I...

    I forgot the name of a recommended E10 gas tank cleaner.

    if it was vented to atmostphere, it would have all evaporated by May in such a large tank Not sure you need to do anything with only one gallon of fuel in the tank.

    V-P 5.7 Gxi intake on 383 stroker?

    You have to throw the accessories , raw water pump, exhaust and coupler away as they are different than the VP stuff. The block is the same. Additionally the Mercruiser fueling is a bit lower than what VP does, so you're giving up some performance And they come with the block-busting single...

    V-P 5.7 Gxi intake on 383 stroker?

    the 8.1 big block put out about 60% more torque than the 5.7 at 2000 RPM. 440 ft lb for the stock 8.1 and about 275 for the 5.7. the 375sp is a fueling cut-off rating. same block with a minor change to fuel map will do 475. More if you want to play with injectors and other bits from Raylar...

    V-P 5.7 Gxi intake on 383 stroker?

    I believe the dry weight is 5833# for your boat. which means the wet weight is close to 7K. thats almost needing twins weight category. Not sure there is enough power in a small block for getting out of the hole quick enough to go skiing. with a change to the IPS drive, would make one heck...

    Ted, can always have a diode isolated power feed to the actuator and switch(s) that has a Deutsch DT series connector. then make up a pigtail connector with alligator clips or a cigarette outlet plug after wrestling the 70# engine cover and aft seat base out of the boat by myself, I envy the...

    1981 Mercury 7.5 2 stroke

    you can get the manual from Mercury or find them on-line at sites like oldmercs or AOMCI for the 7.5/9.8. look at the 1980-1985 motors as they are all the same. the first thing you need to do is pull the leg, measure the vertical drive shaft diameter, then order a raw water pump kit. the...
