    Mercruser 470/ 170 compatible parts

    Not in this case. The only thing Ford on the Mercruiser 470 is the head (modified with a big ole hole), pistons and rods. Everything else is GM or custom Mercruiser. It's a Carter marine pump, similar to the 3.0 The Ford head gasket is for a closed deck

    Water pump dripping 5.0 GL

    If it's the circulation pump (bolted to block) then replace before use. Dripping means the thing is soon to fail If it's the raw water pump (bolted to crank) then that one is easily rebuilt, and you can probably use it this weekend, however should repair or replace soon

    Mercruiser 3.0 prop suggestions.

    make sure the motor is up to snuff: check compression check fuel pressure check timing if all is good with the motor, then look at dropping down 1-2" in pitch. if you add a blade, you need to drop pitch. I personally would not recommend a 4-blade prop on a pontoon. FWIW, pontoons are...

    Sealing electrical connections?

    CRC and Sprayon both have it. Green for marine, red for off-highway ( although I think they are both the same) McMaster Carr delivers. Grainger will have in store. https://www.grainger.com/product/1D276

    Sealing electrical connections?

    Soldering and the adhesive lined shrink wrap will help. Then hose the connection down with 2-3 coats of insulating varnish. It can then be submerged and be OK
