    1990 Rinker 236 sport cuddy restore-Stringers and motor mounts

    From the looks of it you have not yet removed enough of the tabbing and stringer. I would cut it right along the orange line which includes removing the end piece down to the hull. The wood to the right also doesn't look good. Is it dry? So far as how to box or glass it in, I suggest...

    228 Mercruiser (1982 YR) - Overheating on Port side only - burning up exhaust baffles

    The point I'm trying to make is the water comes thru the thermostat and thru the one hole in red. Item 2 also circled in red is the fitting which sends to water to your elbows. Since the elbow is the only item which sends water out the exhaust, the thermostat housing, tee fitting, hoses and...

    228 Mercruiser (1982 YR) - Overheating on Port side only - burning up exhaust baffles

    OK then my guess would be water is not passing by the housing, and over the top of the thermostat enough to keep the port cool.The housing your working with has an issue with passing sufficient water, note the port on the left of the top of the pick. The other problem can be the elbow which is...

    228 Mercruiser (1982 YR) - Overheating on Port side only - burning up exhaust baffles

    Howdy John Should have this posted in the Mercruiser section instead of the outboards. One of the mods will be around to move it for you. Bondo In the mean time is the pic below look like your cooling system?

    4.3 mercruiser

    My guess is this is your drive lube bottle, also called gear lube monitor. If you drive starts leaking, this bottle will keep the drive full. If you see it ever start going down get your drive checked. It is normal to loose some lube after changing drive lube, but will not continue to loose...

    mercruiser mx6.2 mpi

    Howdy Start by check for power at the stop switch, then go to the coil and check for power at the key switch the "I" terminal. Then pull the engine connecter and check for 12V at terminal 5. If that checks out there will be 2 relays and 3 fuses on the motor, check the fuses and swap the two...

    Help identifying volvo engine and part

    From what I can find it is the water pump, original pump is no longer made and the replacement is 23000 EUR (25534 US) but that had to be a misprint or just not made. Appears you can find all the other parts. Parts can be ordered from iboats...

    1990 Rinker 236 sport cuddy restore-Stringers and motor mounts

    It took me a bit to figure out which end was which, but think I have it so my pic is for others to maybe make it easier. My opinion of why and how is; Rinker has made a box beam to support the motor and transfer the thrust of the drive thru the hull. The reason for glassing down the first...

    It's always best to let us know exactly what your working on, in this case a model number could help a bunch. This might help, but might be the speed control

    In most cases the trim pump is on the starboard side but can also be on the port, so it's probably the trim pump. It will look like this

    Rich idle

    Rough idle - I would start with checking plugs, wires, cap and rotor. If plugs do not provide any insight to running rich or lean, and there are no issues with higher rpm's, then my next thought would be fuel pressure or injector needs cleaning or replacement. Need to do some diagnostics...

    Windlass anchor winch not working

    My guess would be either your solenoid has gone out or there is a bad connection. The red light on the breaker should come on when the switch is pressed. The light would not come on if it tripped. Go to the solenoid and measure across the two terminals marked POS and GND, there should be 12V...
