    . . . and I Thought Hi-tech Boat Engines Were Bad . . .

    Audi removed the dipstick on recent motors opting for a sensor and dealer only service. good thing the motor was designed earlier. just removed the stupid plug and installed a dipstick. the @#$%@#$% drain plug is a one-time-use deal and the plastic oil pan is cheesy. however the aftermarket...

    1992 Bass Tracker

    had to go thru the old BT catalogs. it appears that is a pan-fish special. and not the larger Bass Tracker series. the panfish was narrow enough to be stick steer.... but just barely at 71" wide beam, the controls are about 60" apart. It would have looked like this.

    your opinion

    Get a new heat exchanger kit from Orca or similar Mercruiser has has 20-30 different heat exchanger setups on the SBC alone between the early 70s and 2000s Being a 1997 you already have vortec heads.

    your opinion

    the 350 with a carb has been around since the late 60's in boats However, your current motor is a 1986-1995 vintage your drive is a post 1992 if it was me, I would be taking your current block, vortec heads (1996 and later), a stroker crank/rods, LCQ style pistons and build a 6.2

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    heavy fog is bad torrential downpour is bad at slow speeds, neither my hand-held or dash mount can keep direction, so if you look at my GPS tracks in the past after fog or heavy rain, its just a bunch of small circles. Now I have the dash compass as well

    Manifolds (Trying to figure out what I am looking at)

    you have water in the exhaust. can be from any of the following: improper timing causing reversion improper cam causing reversion leaking manifold to riser joint causing water to run back in not enough SWL to riser height from factory too heavy a boat (water logged) causing the boat to sit...

    Engine choice

    My guess is an idiot or a scam artist had the boat prior. You have a core block that will need at a minimum $1500 worth of parts and machining. To do it right you are looking at about $2500 As Scott mentioned, there are choices buy a reman, properly reman the one you have, or buy a salvage...

    1982 omc stern drive wont go up or down

    If you took the clutch pack apart, did you have the proper clamp to put it back together? Make sure you have all the clutch discs Check the hammer coupler and check voltages when trying to raise. If any of your connections are not shiny and clean enough for your mother in law to eat off of...
