    Milky oil Mercruier 3.0 / how to pressure test engine ?

    Yes Rick means as an alternative to acetone test, so you don't have to remove the manifold as you would for acetone testing. Make a blank off plate for where the elbow goes and pressurize with air when you do the block testing.

    Volvo Penta 5.0GI to 5.7 swap

    Absolutely worth it, per AD's comments you may want to consider a 383. I repowered a 21 ft Sea Ray six years ago, had a 4.3 that PO didn't winterize. The boat was also offered with a 5.0 from factory, so that's what I went back in with... I was thinking a 5.7 would be too much for the boat, I...

    Milky oil Mercruier 3.0 / how to pressure test engine ?

    to pressure test the cooling system you need to take the water inlet hose and water outlet hose to the manifold , plug them with pipe fittings such that you can pressurize with compressed air and have a pressure gauge. you should also check the manifold and exhaust elbow as these can leak...

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Lou I really respect your experience but on his account I don’t think you are not correct I had flappers in my 91 merc 3.0 fail looked like over cooked bacon . Boat never overheated. Point is they are not the fail safe. Honestly in my option they don’t do much except cover a gross wave coming up...

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Sounds like the cam you have is less aggressive than the stock VP so should be ok. Unless you have exhaust leakage or a crack in head which doesn’t really fit what you are seeing , i also suspect you have more weight in back of boat for what ever reason, necessitating higher risers. That you’ve...

    3.0 litre Mercruiser sterndrive oil issue

    Likely the second one is the oil pressure switch. The alarm that sounds briefly when you start is because there is no oil pressure yet until the engine gets going. same alarm sounds for low oil pressure, low drive lube, or engine over heat. the alarm should have sounded when you lost oil...

    info on alpha one gen 1? water pump base..

    Yeah i love this forum but the iboats parts search leaves a lot to be desired. in my experience the oem merc water pump kits are worth the extra few bucks. I changed my gen 2 impeller this year after 6 years /300 hrs was in perfect condition. Did my neighbors a few years back ten years old...

    Searay 180 Alpha one fuel pick up fitting replacement

    The check valve is called the anti siphon valve and is a requirement to keep a fuel leak or ruptured line down stream from siphoning the fuel tank out into the bilge especially if pump or lines are lower. the pick up fitting on this page you can select a link to the parts manual for your sea...

    5.7 dipstick clip bolt hole missing new engine

    Followed you completely. when I put my vortec 5.0 together 6 years ago there was no attachment to the block on the dipstick Michigan motors sent. I believe the bracket was holding Upper end of tube to cylinder head. I think I snaked mine between exh manifold and cylinder head between last two...

    Bayliner 265 (2002 vs. 2003)

    5.0 is not enough engine for that big a boat, and a 2 bbl /220 hp at that. That would tip me to the other boat
