    Mercruiser 5.7 exhaust bellow blowing

    I think your right, it does look dented in, and also the manual shows (Sort of) to place the screw on the starboard side While this should have no effect, but the hydraulic ram comes with a spacer inside to reduce the amount of trim in by 1 1/2 degrees. It should not have been removed, but...

    Video of binding steering - what's happening?

    Howdy It would normally get tighter as the wheel goes further off from center. The reason is the rubber bellows are getting tighter, and thereby there would be more force on the steering. Is it hard to steer with the motor running? If so look to see if the slots on the steering ram are...

    Mercruiser 5.7 exhaust bellow blowing

    That is real strange The item kind of looks like it would come from the bell housing side instead of the transom. I know your right but just to make sure we are on the same item. I would remove the transom assembly and then put a straight edge on the boat transom. It has to be in a bind...

    Starting Problem

    Get a test light or volt meter, (volt meter is better) and see if you get 12V on the Yellow/Red wire at the key when turned to START. If 12V is found go to the slave solenoid and the small terminal and see if you get 12V on the small Yellow/Red wire. If you get 12V there, need to check the...

    Volvo-Penta 5.7 Gi idles at 1800-2000 RPM

    Need to get a code reader on the motor. If it was a Merc I could tell you how to build one, but with being a VP I'm not sure. Does the VP have a 10 pin connector like this?

    Mercruiser 7.4 MPI Idle Speed Very High

    Your regulator connects to the intake manifold, only issue is the hole which feeds the regulator is a pin hole. so if there are any sticking valve it may not pick up the fluctuations, but also don't currently see that as the issue. If it is disconnected and go direct to gauge, the fuel pressure...

    Hissing and revs in idle

    I'm seeing either a Rochester 2GC or Merc 2 bbl carb The silver thing I believe is a PCV valve and if the small hose under the big hose has a vacuum being drawn thru when the motor is running, then it needs to be connected to the PCV valve

    2007 Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-H

    The connection to your hour meter shouldn't have any effect normally, but if the hour meter is having an issue it can reduce the power going to the coil. This pic is just for reference showing the purple wire connection on the EST distributor

    MerCruiser Bravo III Piece Broken

    Oh you have some issues. The lower housing anti-ventilation plate is broken off, and the top of the lower housing has a crack. My guess right now is the drive doesn't have any lube in it
