    1994 omc 3.0l circulation hose

    As before there should be no difference in pressure when the thermostat (TS) is open or closed. Once the block fills with water and the TS is closed water just passes by and out the exhaust. When the TS opens cold water flows in pushing hot out. Your problem might just be in your TS housing...

    Gear Lube drained out of Gear Housing after removing Lower Unit

    What I think your saying is you drained the lube, and left the upper section on the boat. When you removed the lower from the upper there was more lube coming out where the drive shaft went it to the upper. If this is the case your still OK. After draining the lube the bottle will continue to...

    Weber convertion for AQ130c

    I see your issue, this will need a thin wall tube with a piece welded to it to make up the distance. May also be able to take it to a good aluminum welder and build a boss up on which could be cut down. My next question is which kit number did you buy? I have found Weber conversion kits and...

    Mercruiser 165 - Exhaust - Water Separation Tube

    Your pic Looks like the exhaust boot which goes from the exhaust elbow off the manifold and connects to the exhaust pipe which goes out thru the drive. In this pic it is connected where the OT is listed. If this is getting hot, then you do not have water going thru the motor of sufficient...

    Cost and Procedure for Replacing Gimball Ring on Bravo III

    The pins which hold the bell housing might fall out if the ring breaks like yours did. From my view it appears to have happened due to metal fatigue. The pins used to keep the side pivot pins in may have snapped because of fatigue and or torque from the drive coming off. From the look of the...

    Tamd22 MD22 Earthing Thread.. Isolated Return. 55Amp Fuse.Help Needed

    Had to go find a wiring diagram for the motor to see what your issue is. If the glow plugs are staying energized then it the first place to check would be the relay. In this pic note the connections for the contacts. The coil uses contact points 85 and 86, and the power is switched using 30...

    elbow to exhaust manifold gaskets?????

    From what I see you need two pieces which are item 18 and 19. Align the weep hole with the slot so some water and air can pass. The bottom pick shows water circulation flow and the main source of water out the exhaust comes from the thermostat housing to the elbow

    To make it easier next and following years you could install the Merc drain kit 861505A1 at the bottom of the hose. For those with Bravo drives another could be installed on the starboard side

    Tamd22 MD22 Earthing Thread.. Isolated Return. 55Amp Fuse.Help Needed

    I'm seeing additional grounds coming from the battery terminal. Some how one or more of them has a connection back to the block. Don't see the cables being the ground but it would only be possible if a ground wire is touching it

    B3 lower shift cable

    Hope this clears it up. You shouldn't need to readjust the 3 inch spacing, but if it was loosened then maybe. The good thing with a bravo, you can have the motor running and slide the barrel nut ot and make slight adjustments as needed. Just make sure the prop is clear and with someone...

    2004 350 mag winterization issue

    Just remove the brass insert and then you can get at the blue plug. In most cases they break because they get over tightened. The O-rings should be replaced every few times. What happens is the ring looses is elasticity and requires folks to tighten them more to stop a leak. If the ring was...

    Pressing Bearings Onto the Drive Gear

    You can use a 2 jar puller similar to this one. Pay no attention to the socket and breaker bar Now to put them back together, you need something with enough force to do it. A large bench vise, arbor press, or other. The issue is you need enough force with also enough room to be able to do...

    Blown Fuses

    As GM mentioned your running all your circuits from the battery using a 7.5 amp fuse. Using 14 gauge wire to feed the circuits means you should be able to use a 15 amp fuse. Maybe need to step back and look at again. You should have IMO at least 12 gauge (20 amp) feeding your bus bars, 10...

    Paint remover

    Have gotten tired of bottom paint so the plan is to remove it all, then either re-gel or more then likely paint with epoxy. A local place will blast it or I can use paint remover. There are several products which are caustic and others which are environmentally friendly. Leaning toward the...

    After Market Fuel Pumps

    Vapor lock is a different issue and is not caused by a weak pump, its caused by the fuel getting to hot. The booster pump can help but does not stop it in most cases. Ethanol gas also plays a part in the problem. The only way IMO to stop it completely is to reroute the fuel return which goes...
