    2017 115hp efi fuel issues please help

    start at the tank when cleaning the fuel system. tank, pickup, anti-siphon, then fuel/water filter, then FSM, then injectors.

    Manual jack plate starting height

    rule of thumb with setback. for every 4" back, raise the motor up 1" so with the 4" of setback on the transom jack, I would have the AV plate 1" higher than normal as a starting point. you will blow out prior to running out of water.

    the 240 sundancer with a 350 mag just barely gets out of the hole. not having one with a 5.0 is almost 50 hp less.

    Customer advice

    should run Vertex vs Wiseco on outboards. Forged pistons tend to cold-seize.

    Wiped cam lobe mechanical fuel pump

    agreed. it will be in the pickup strainer and bottom of the pan as well as embedded in the oil pump. hopefully the oil filter did its job and didnt bypass.

    Need locking gas cap for 2006 190 LS

    I would say call your crownline dealer for suggestions. would normally say call the company, except the company was bought and sold a few times in the past 19 years

    Speedometer

    get a small bit of hose. connect directly to the speedometer. you should be able to blow into the hose and get about 5-10 mph on a pitot tube speedometer. couldnt post the pic of the speedo calibration, so I typed it. If adjustable air pressure is available, standard calibration speedometers...

    Speedometer

    pretty sure your gen 1 alpha may be before the pitot tube connection. just spend $20 on a new plastic pitot pickup and tube and replace the line to the dash. https://www.amazon.com/Speedometer-Universal-Automatic-Kick-up-Assembly/dp/B08F35XJRD?th=1

    Is it safe to replace the engine circulator pump in the water?

    except those pliers do not work on the hard hose before a pump. However the cap from a WD40 spray can will usually fit within the end of the hose and stop the water from coming in.

    Is it safe to replace the engine circulator pump in the water?

    if its an alpha drive, then the water line from the transom shield goes up and over the SWL prior to entering the thermostat housing and ultimately the block. if its a bravo drive, the raw water line may be at the SWL or below and would need to be blocked off.

    a 40 year old fiberglass boat....... its worth more to you than what you could sell it for. you may get $200, you may get $2000 for that one special buyer that has a sentimental attachment to a 40 year old entry level boat (like maybe his grandparents had one) depends on your location and if...

    Ethanol free gas for Mercruiser

    not a chance of that happening. E10 has been around for over 34 years. in fact Henry Ford used ethanol for fuels over 100 years ago. now, some stations that have blend pumps have had issues where the E10 was actually closer to e40. and anything over 10% ethanol on small engines (lawn mowers...
