    Bravo 3 turns hard starboard underway

    Cool the vid tells the tail You should not be able to turn the nut by hand, nor should the nut turn without turning the cable outer jacket. Place a wrench in the slots on the other side holding it straight up and down, and tighten the nut down tight. Before doing that remove the nut and check...

    Mercruiser 5.7 identification

    You should be able to change the thermostat housing to part number 806235A1 as seen below. The riser may or may not have the ports. If they do have the ports, then just use the plugs which should be provided to seal them off. You want gaskets which have slots in them to allow water to pass...

    Mercruiser 5.7 identification

    Cooling system is correct for the year, and the 2 ports were closed off because of flow thru risers. Could also change the thermostat housing to newer style

    Swapping Alpha Gen 1 for Gen 2 on a 3.0L

    No Bondo says you only need to replace the bell housing. My comment just dealt with the spacing of the Gen 1 to Gen 2 I think it would be best to change the entire transom assembly. Changing the bell housing only, you will either need to block off the lube bottle fitting, or install the lube...

    2000 5.7 gsi problem

    The pump whining can be from it going out, sucking air, or running a bit dry. So if we know the pressure is failing off, then we need to back trace to see if its the HP pump, or the stuff supplying the HP pump. If I remember correctly, think yours is a TBI system. If so need to find one of...

    Chrysler 105 and 125 combo Maybe

    The gasket has a lot of silicone all over it, along with what appears a mouse had a nest. The shaft is corroded down low, so will sand that off before taking the pump apart. Placed the prop shaft straight up and letting is soak with PB Blaster. Once my new fuel line comes in I'll connect a...
