    Mostly Media hype.......ocean water temp is extremely dynamic. Currents and or wind can raise and lower temperature 5F over night. Our water temps are below normal water as of yesterday. Change of wind direction and we could be above normal tomorrow. Ocean fish are migratory. If they don't...

    Heat transfer dope

    The old adage of don't fix something that is not broken applies here The heat transfer compound dried out 15 years ago. Besides, control modules rarely if ever die of heat related failures. It's typically shorts and over /under voltages that take them out. There is a greater chance you damage...

    Moving the filter

    Fuel filters are gravity devices. By design, filters are placed on the vacuum side of a pump. Don't know of any "fuel filter" rated for pressure service.

    Fuel issues

    Just because there is no water or rocks in the filter doesn't mean that the filter media isn't clogged with sediment and debris. Fuel filters should be changed annually. Have seen the filter media turn to mush after a couple of years

    Got electrocuted when touching cylinder?

    High voltage is generated in the coil and transferred to the spark plug via the plug wire. If a coil is shorted to ground, it can't generate high voltage. If the plug is shorted to ground (cracked insulator) the plug would misfire and the motor would not run properly, if at all If the plug...

    Got electrocuted when touching cylinder?

    Depends on where you touch.... The high voltage in the ignition system has no problem jumping a 1/2" air gap. Get your hand within 1/2" of a high voltage component (coil, plug wire or spark plug) with a ground issue and all bets are off. It's a good practice to stay clear of any and all...

    Stainless Prop Film

    Stainless has very good resistance to alkaline attack. Would require polishing to restore the shine. Seeing it came off with CLR, I'm guessing calcium or lime buildup depending on what part of the country he is in.

    Am I getting water of of fuel path Properly 150's J150VXCIS 2001 carbed 150'

    Separators vary from 90 to 99% efficient of removing water from the fuel depending on filtration methodology. Some simply use gravity to seperate water from fuel. Others use a combination of gravity and a specialty treated filter paper as second stage filtration. Having said that, once the...

    1991 mercury sounding rough? fixes?

    The only place you have pressurized water in this location is the water tube (pipe) running between the water pump in the lower unit and the power head. Typically use a rubber seal to seal the connection. If you haven't changed the water pump assembly, it's time now

    Bilge pump wiring

    In hindsight, I should have clarified by stating the use of a SPDT switch.

    Stainless Prop Film

    It's mineral oxidation. Heat (exhaust) combined with minerals in the water (hard water) cause it. Muriatic acid will remove it
