    Did I over prop?

    You have it backwards increasing pitch reduces rpm at wot. I would expect 800 rpm less with this. You either have an incorrect drive ratio or engine that needs maintenance attention , or both. You need to go down in pitch not up by 165 stringer you mean engine or drive. If he used a drive...

    Sound deadening

    They had me use PL polyurethane construction adhesive- again were particular about right materials for the application. I think I went with the cheaper end of what they offer (eggcrate foam which was what was in there from factory) probably spent $125-200 and it made a noticeable difference...

    axle repair sleeve question

    absolutely thats what it is made for- the green loctitie is a retaining compound made for sleeves and bearings on shafts etc where there is some wear. You can also use a center punch and stake the axle before sliding the sleeve on. This will raise a the area around where you punch to provide a...

    Sound deadening

    I used these guys when I replaced the egg crate sound deadening in my old boat. They had several options with different costs... of course better material = more dough. They were knowledgeable about what materials had the correct fire ratings for marine applications which is good to keep an eye...

    Help with engine timing

    There should be a mark or several marks on the balancer as shown in the photos. If you only have a TDC mark you can use an advance timing light which will offset or advance the light so that you can use TDC and set it for 8 or 10 deg advanced so light will be timed for tdc mark

    Water in reservoir

    As others have mentioned you have a seal issue on your outdrive, maybe several seals are bad. In the stickys there is a protocol for pressure testing the drive to identify which seals are leaking.

    Mercruiser 6.2 repower/finding an engine

    I believe the 383 is just a remanufactured 377, given a .030” overbore. I cant see needing to reflash the ecu for this. Try michigan motorz i belive they sell reman and new base engines

    no start

    I would find the factory wiring diagram for your engine serial number and see if it was there or not. Not sure what year as I have had older boats that I don't think had this fuse, so yours may not have had it at the factory. If it wasn't there originally I wouldn't add it rather focus on...

    Yes you should see it on the starter lug but it is not there this is what one looks like

    no start

    There is no 90 a fuse on yours - it would be a square cube (3/4"x3/4") on the starter lug between the bat cable and orange cable from alternator. Not sure if your engine originally didn't have one or someone took it off. Start with the simple stuff like the cable mentioned. Yes you can jump...

    Mercruiser Alpha 1 - backfired and died out on the water ( Its electrical 100% ) - need basic troubleshooting steps,, how do i check charging system?

    So this is a 3.7 or 470 with a stator and voltage regulator? Would suspect stator or more likely regulator issues in which case given NLA nature of these parts would do an alternator conversion and replace the battery. Would target your trouble shooting around the odd ball charging system...

    Arcadia/Traverse Suitability?

    Base Acadia is 1000 lbs but it is 4k with the towing package. How short a distance? I'll play the other side of the fence as I have towed my similar sized 2004 Sea Ray 200 Sport 2 miles to the ramp and 15 miles to the barn with my '06 Highlander (3500 lbs capacity) and my 2016 highlander...
