    1989 MERCRUISER 4.3 V6 WONT SPARK

    Howdy snipesvi You provide some good info, but it sure was hard to read. Try less capital letters and maybe hit the return a bit more. In any case, The TB-4 and 5 troubleshooting guide should have found the issue. Below is the guide for the TB-V but is also for the TB-IV. The Wht/Red wire...

    building my own anchor pulpit

    Pics always work best, and being that there are several different sizes I'm guessing it is around the 27 foot range. Something like this I would think that it will take some reinforcement of the deck under it. Won't be able to just put screws thru the deck, they need to go into something...

    How to Repair Cool Fuel stud

    Wound up using a SS bolt on my tapped hole from the top. Nut on one side and bolt on the other. All went back together fairly easy. Last note for those who reinstall the fuel line in the pump which does not use threads, but only O-rings. The hose just slides in and then a special screw...

    Beaching with Manual Tilt/Trim

    Assuming outboards, I would get an outboard motor tilt assist bar. Attach to the motor and be ready to lift. Come in nice and slow with just enough momentum to bring the keel in. Shut the motor off as it continues to ease in, then have another pull the motor up.

    The 350 was called an 898 for the early years. Some had breakers and/or fuses. The fuse which is on the starter post can be a 55amp for those without breakers, and 90 amp for those with breakers.

    Two battery switches

    If it is connected as you say then you are correct. Sounds like you need three batteries, which includes one house bat. Then add a switch to combine the house and start incase it is needed to start the motor. This is a simple for one engine and two batteries. See if I can gen up what I'm...

    Mercruiser drive vs. SEI

    Merc will not pay to remove and install a drive that needs work unless bought from and installed by a dealer. Case in point bought new B3XR drive from dealer in another state and had it shipped to me. After install and before use, the drive started leaking at the prop shaft. Merc agreed to...

    How to Repair Cool Fuel stud

    Pulled it out, and it is a plastic box mounted to a 1/8 plate with 4 each 1/4 28 hex socket screws. Used a cut off tool to cut it flush. Drilled 7/32 hole and tapped for 1/4 28 Now to decide if I want to order a brass stud from McMaster 47 cents (with shipping probably $5 bucks), or use...

    Rebuild trim cilinders

    The trim limit is 21 3/4 max, can be less (If you don't need it to go all the way up, for trailering and such, I would make it a bit less). The dimension can be found in manual 28 on page 5D-8 and manual 11 on page 4A-17 The check balls stop fluid from returning. Doing this holds the piston...

    I fiber glassed it back into place. The inside has a full length mirror which went back in once glassed, so that took care of the inside. The engine compartment has the heat and sound shield which is glued in on that side. You can see the shield used

    How to Repair Cool Fuel stud

    Doing some work and was reinstalling the bracket on the cool fuel module. Still using one finger to tighten and the stud snapped off. Tired of feeling like a pretzel, I took a pic and got out. Looking at the listing I don't see where the studs are part of...

    Change to High Volume Oil Filtration

    Feel like a pretzel but the new lines are on. Still need to install and wire the new gauge. One of these days I'm going to redesign the helm layout and probably get rid of the speed-o

    Can you identify this boat?

    You may still be able to find a kit, or look on wood boat sites and find one close to it. Found these being made in the UK. Change the seats and it would be real close

    Where is the starter relay

    From what I'm finding is your starter relay is square, and should be on top the motor. Looks like a small square box and same as the fuel pump relay
