    Octagon Window and Siding

    Nope, not what I'm looking for, that is they make a piece and then you cut to fit. I have a brake and can bend my own aluminum, so I can make brick molding. The brick molding in the link does not cover the inside of the frame. In pic below, blurry on left is current window, and one on left is...

    Crankshaft position sensor replacement

    The CPS is the same part number for both motors that use a Cam sensor and ones like yours which do not. Backfiring and having trouble to idle would have me also looking at timing, IAC and distributor cap. You mentioned that the distributor cap was replaced, and if the motor has the same issues...

    3-blade vs 4-blade

    I also think tabs would help very much, but as a current owner of a 232, installing tabs would not gain much benefit IMO. The reason being is there is no room to place them where they would be needed close to the outside. Installing them close to the drive would bring its own problems and don't...

    Tall riser conversion

    From the looks of the design, it appears that after installing the longer riser, you just need a longer item 20 hose.

    1990 Mercruiser 4.3l v6 seawater pump location

    You said its a "inboard" but the 4.3 is normally not used with inboard applications. They are normally used with Gen 2 outdrives. With an outdrive you would have an I/O (inboard with outdrive). So if you have an outdrive then the impeller is inside the lower section of the drive If you do...

    2005 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI - ECM - recorded information and solid alarm issue

    Might be the gear switch. If the motor thinks its in neutral there will be an alarm. Disconnect it and see if that fixes the issue. You won't have the interrupter switch
