    2007 Gxi-G 5.0 Rough Idle Issue

    Bruce. This is exactly my point. A tbi I can totally understand dumping fuel into the throttle body. But an mpi has injectors much further down to each individual intake. For fuel to be filling the whole manifold enough to come back up to the throttle body...Jesus Christ. Now that’s something...

    2007 Gxi-G 5.0 Rough Idle Issue

    Of course. But how would it get full of fuel on an mpi ? It would surely be a serious and catastrophic event that would cause that. Litres of fuel it would take and literally turning into a bloody bomb.

    2007 Gxi-G 5.0 Rough Idle Issue

    Of course...But how would fuel get into the throttle body, on Mpi ?

    2007 Gxi-G 5.0 Rough Idle Issue

    Hi. I’m a bit confused how a gxi engine with multi point injection and not tbi injection would manage to dump fuel into the throttle body. Are you sure this is what’s happened ?

    Where to get decent, unbiased info about new outboard choices?

    At that size...you can take your pick really. Up above 90hp...all new outboards certainly aren’t equal anymore. Mercury have that game won by a long way these days. Way ahead of the rest of the 4 strokes. personally at that size...I’d be after a late model yamaha 2 stroke. Each to their own though.

    Prop selection help

    Probably. Just a shiny black max really. Except the black max has been quicker on any boat I’ve known, in comparison. Pitch for pitch, with a vengeance. Waste of money. Nothing fancy to them at all. It’s the entry prop to the stainless market from merc.

    Spark plugs, Volvo numbers don't match

    Must admit. I’ve had the NGK iridium in mine for a few years now. Been running so much better than the delco platinum it dud have in it previously. Big difference

    What Model is this?

    This model...although as well finished as a boat gets...was criticised here, for being a little tippy and easily unsettled. Not dangerous by any means...but not if your usual sealine stability. Lovely boats though. They haven’t dropped in value here for about 5/6 years.

    Got you. Never seen one in real life, I’m sure.

    Prop selection help

    Please...please...forget the vengeance all together. Total hate of mine. It’s just a decorative shiny version of a standard ally prop. Except not even as good as the standard slot black max.

    90's 3 cyl Merc 90 oil injection reverse

    Jon just adjust the cables or replace. Very typically that, from what you describe. All else being well. Look like a late 80’s to early 90’s model. Blank off the oil injection and pre mix...if you’re fussy too.

    2006 30HP Mercury telltail problem

    John. Are you getting water pumped and back through the lower unit outlets but not the tell tale ? Or nothing at all returning anywhere ? Often the tell tale can get blocked with salt but the engine still cools and flows water through the main channels and out through lower unit. Have a look. If...

    Mercuiser vs VP 380

    Hate to be a smart arse...but pretty certain the 6.2 this fella is talking about isn’t an LS...is it ? Is it not one of the new VP 6.2 ? May be wrong. Merc doing similar with their new 6.2. Not a GM engine I think. Just a thought.

    Spark plugs, Volvo numbers don't match

    Delco 993’s are actually platinum plugs. Often thought to be iridium...but they aren’t. you don’t need fancy plugs in that tbi engine. Only in the MPi/gxi.

    Boat gauges inboard vs. outboard

    If you are buying gauges for a new engine...I’d ask why you need to...and also why you wouldn’t buy the excellent smart craft sc1000’s for that engine.

    What Model is this?

    Made in U.K. by Sealine. One of the best brands there are. Only exception was with a few hulls when Brunswick owned them for a few years. Now back to their best though.

    What Model is this?

    It’s without doubt a Sealine S23/25. Be around mid 2000’s. Very sought after boat in Europe right now. Only come with a kad32 VP in them. You won’t find one cheaper than about 35000 Sterling here. Sealine will be considered within the top 10 boats in the world, in the average private market.

    Question on boat shopping: 1999 Crownline 202 5.0 liter

    230hp ish is plenty for it. Go down an inch or two or high 5 prop it is it’s more towing and heavy loaded you prefer. No bother. These engines aren’t stressed only putting out what they do.
