    5.7 GM Marine Repower Options?

    If you can do the work yourself, spend the money to get new base engines (long blocks) i went through the same exercise as you seven years ago. Bought a extended base engine from Michigan Motorz ( carb intake distributor) has worked flawlessly for seven seasons. Glad a went this route. of course...

    On an alpha drive the driveshaft and shafts in drive are turning with exception of prop shaft when engine is running. Would start with prop to see if it is rubbing and installed correctly. Run dive with out prop on it to see if it vibrates with out prop Possible other things are going on. It...

    RE: Issues with Mercruiser 5.0 LX 4 Barrel Carb

    On the not pumping of water. Would check that impeller vanes are not spinning on center hub, common defect seen with cheap aftermarket pumps. The oem merc pumps last a long time dont waste money on anything else. Verify the key that locks impeller to shaft is in place, as its easy to miss when...

    Cup should be tight fitting against sides of pump well. not sure what you mean by 3/4” if diameter of pump well sounds right.

    Rochester 2gv

    Somewhere thee is a pump rid height adjustment spec for the accelerator pump lever position vs the top of carb bowl. Ill see if i can find one.later mercarbs that are an evolution of the 2 jet have three holes in pump arm to adjust-shot volume. you might be a tad rich but i would suspect that...

    Bravo 3 anodes and mercathode

    Yeah they added a second round one to the later bravo 3 because of the corrosion issues seen on the early B3s. they can corrode inside the prop hub where bearing carrier goes in and housing cracks. Happened to a friend of mine in northern Chesapeake which is slightly brackish water. His is slip...

    Which States/Provinces Enforce Registration Numbers Requirements

    Exactly Only seen in 'enforced' once in 40 years. This is on an larger inland lake (NY) with regular waterborne sheriff patrols. Neighbor bought a new to him wake boat out of state and had obviously the wrong numbers on the boat still. Late teens early 20's kids in family take the wake boat...

    4 Blade?

    I use 4 blades on my bowrider for better hole shot, stern lift, and lower planning speed. My typical use is loaded down watersports... Generally would drop in pitch assuming current prop is hitting correct WOT rpm, but there are so many variables in terms of blade design and cup that you can't...

    Rochester 2gv

    Did u replace the pump cup/ boot. Yes the accelerator pump is the first place i would look if there is a bog when hitting it… you can bend the rod to get more pump stoke and thus bigger shot. you want to make sure the linkage has no slop in it for delayed response. When you look down the carb...

    Transom assembly rebuild

    Good friend of mine used the stainless pin from nuwave marine in NJ. Was recommended by his mechanic as he had perfect results with them over the years wether it is the pin or bellows stay away from the cheap stuff out there… are you removing engine or using one of the kits to do from outside...

    Rochester 2gv

    The pin that holds in the float and it pivots on can easily drop out when inverting the carb top, and it’s easy to tear the accelerator pump cup when reassembling it. Been there more than once … both parts should be easily available Last time I took my edlebrock apart I lost a rod off the...
