    Circulation pump

    Did they specifically say 304 stainless in the advertising? 304 is Austenitic and should not be magnetic but if there secondary work was done to the parts all bets are off. The process of stamping and surface polishing can change the micro-structure of S304 and thus create martensite The...

    Has anyone installed trailer guides?

    I guess it would depend on the rub rail design and quality My rub rails are “rigid vinyl with an insert. The lower durometer material resists marking, dings and scratches rather well. Certainly not going to be permanently damaged or marked by pvc https://www.integritymarinecorp.com/grady-white...

    Outboard Flex Tube

    Most the OEM “tubes” are “bolt-ons”. A lot better than the various aftermarket adaptations and work arounds. Having said that, eBay is your friend for this type of stuff

    Adding a House Battery to Bayliner VR5

    I think we’re talking two different things. The only 2,4 and 6 awg wires are battery cables. The term “jumpers” would lead to suggest the cables running from ACR to each battery and or the battery cables proper. If that is the case, duplicate cable size with existing battery. The cables...

    Timken part # for alpha gen2 cone bearing + race

    The fact that they changed the design would point to an inherent problem with the original design or a supply issue. Old design parts costing less than new would suggest supply issues with planned obsolesce, i.e. selling existing inventory at discount to unload

    Normal rust on 2011 Mercruiser?

    I would be more concern about the “rust” around the spark plug. Looks like the “moisture” came from the spark plug

    Normal rust on 2011 Mercruiser?

    There is no “cleaning” salt. You have to neutralize by flushing with something like salt away after each use. Even then your fighting an uphill battle. It permeates everything, The wiring is the most venerable. It’s not if, its when will iron oxide start to form
