    Thermostat Housing Replacement - 1993 7.4L/Bravo 1

    The 16413A9 housing is NLA but can be found on ebay and the like sites. Don't know of anyone making a stainless for them and my guess would be very few would be sold. You could use the one shown in your post but would also need to redo plumbing

    Wiring for digital iginition

    Howdy Merc still makes the harness for the non-digital 3.0L. Rewiring the motor to original to digital (DDIS) can work so long as the components are still usable. Note that these years used the BIA wiring colors, later the colors were changed. Hope this helps

    VP 5.7 Backfiring, need a scanner,

    Not an expert on VP but I'm finding the GSI has mostly the Delco EST distributor. If this is the case then it needs to just be adjusted to stop the backfiring, unless there are other issues. Start by rechecking the firing order 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 1-3-5-7 is on the left (port) bank 2-4-6-8 is on...

    Mercruiser 350 MAG overheating

    Start first with checking for Bravoits. Bravoits is where the hose coming thru starts swelling and can close off the line. Need to remove the hose and fitting coming from the transom and going to the sea water pump. This is what a bad Bravoits looks like

    New (to me) Hydrohoist

    That size tubes gives you a 6300 pound lift which is plenty If you lay boards flat this may or may not cause stress or flat spots on the toon, don't know. What I do see is all the lifts here and others I've seen don't let the toon lay flat like on a deck. They also have steel angle under them...

    Cheap fuel cells on Ebay

    lifting cap on 1983 Cajun fish and ski

    That's a tough one without having a look at how its built. I lifted my 1973 Chrysler top using the two rear and one front cleat. The catfish does look a bit heavier but not sure. If you can repair gelcoat, drill a hole thru and install eyebolts into a 2x4 under the gunnels

    Need to change just a bit, sorry my bad. The motor is still killed as said but note in this pic, the kill switch is on the side with the magneto. So the key kills the motor by applying a ground thru the key switch, but the actual kill switch is before the key switch (which make since). Note...
