    How bad is it.

    I would look for a 1992 or later bayliner with a rotten hull and a 3.0 / Alpha 1, gen 2 and get the boat for near free and swap in everything from pulley to prop into your boat vs dealing with a cracked block.

    some light reading on navigation lights, etc. BTW, LED accent lights anywhere exterior of a boat at night are also not legal. https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/CFR-2011-title33-vol2/CFR-2011-title33-vol2-sec183-810 https://www.maritimemanual.com/marine-navigation-lighting-guide/...

    Winterizing time!

    your manual states that you pull the drive, inspect the alignment, seals, bearings, u-joints etc. every 50 hours, or annually - which ever occurs first. since most people use their boat surprisingly little (bad for the boat for many reasons) most do not hit the 50 hours per year. however you...

    Using navigation lights with bow lights in unison.

    You can have dock lights on with the nav lights when you are at the dock only however it is illegal to have dock lights on while underway (Nav lights only) that is a global IMO law (International Maritime Law) enforced by the USCG. so you have to have a separate switch regarding obstacles, a...

    correct prop for 74 mercruiser 140hp

    what size do you have now? read the numbers on the hub order the same depending on a few things you are between a 15p and a 21p. so for us to guess which prop may have been rigged on your boat by its initial dealer would be a guess.

    4.3 Harmonic Balancer

    Just about ever piece of rubber or plastic on a boat goes off a calendar and does not care if the hour meter ever tics over Low hours on a boat means more things go wrong between uses and the boat sits. If you are putting on 50hrs or less a year the boat isn't getting used enough
