    2017 115 4 Stroke Mercury outboard

    When the cover is off, does it idle at the same rpm as before, when this was not an issue? Want to know if there is something like the IAC Can you give it a slight bit more throttle and keep it running?

    Volvo penta dps-a prop seals

    You might get away with it, all depends on why the seal went bad. If it was time and everything is put back together the same, would be worth the try. If there is play in the shafts then I would tear it down The manual list tear down because when it comes apart its best to check everything...

    Leaking fiberglass livewell

    Have not used it, and while it may seal, the question is will it last? What about ruff it up and put another layer of fiber glass?

    Rub Rail Restoration??

    I'm sure they make 50 foot but it would go to manufactures that need a lot of it. No way to ship just one piece. Look for boat or other kinds of manufactures that would use aluminum/stainless extrusions in your area. Might be able to buy one from them, but then the problem would be how to get...

    Engines: 2 x 4.3GXi or 1 x 5.7Gxi

    IMO the single 5.7 will not preform very well, get the twin. If offered I would get twin 5.7's. The single 5.7 will be giving everything it has to keep it going. The twins will be running easier My single 10K lb with 7.4 boat had a hard time getting on plane with just 2 people. Formula only...

    The gaskets use one on top the metal plate and one on the bottom. See item 23 and 24. Note: give little attention to what the gasket looks like in the pic https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/30860/1942/130

    Charging voltage drop with diode isolator

    I would tap direct off house bats to feed accessories. This will allow you to leave the single switch always on the start bat unless need both to start motor.

    Charging voltage drop with diode isolator

    Need better understanding where the wires go, and the relay box. I'm starting to think that the boat had some kind of relay which charged both banks once the motor started. This might have been replaced with the isolator Is the orange wire in pic tapped off and does it go to relay box? Where...

    Charging voltage drop with diode isolator

    Agree, the isolator is a set of diodes. Each diode has a voltage drop of 0.7V A fully changed battery should read 13.7V after being removed from charge and having sat for couple hours Alternator and battery chargers would normally output around 14.5V Alternator output is controlled by the...

    The 1409 CFM is 600, the 1410 CFM is 750 At 5000 rpm the 5.7 (350) will draw a max of 557 CFM. Boring out .030 to 355 max goes to 566 CFM Your good with the 1409, but may need to rejet
