    72 Thunderbird Formula w/twin 165hp Mercs

    I think the problem is with doing the hose routing of a 1978 and later system with your system which is a 1972 So if your going to hook it up using the 1978 and later setup, remove the valve IMO. That said, I also think if your going to redo the hoses without the lock valve, you need...

    replacing manifolds on 5.7

    There were 3 designs used during your model and below is the old (design 2 yours) and new (design 3). You will need to replace your thermostat housing with the new design (860256A3). Both use the same water pump, but in the pic note the circulating water pump hose is on the opposite side. You...

    replacing manifolds on 5.7

    You should have the one hose feeding the manifold from the bottom, if that is the case they should be plug n play. You will need the restrictor gasket with the hole. Note the hole goes at the highest point of the manifold which is usually the front

    Newbie Boater

    Howdy Bluedart I say pull, but if there is a button in the center, you might push to go to throttle only position. The red button under the handle is pulled up so you can move the throttle to forward or reverse. The leveler locks in neutral position, so it is squeezed up and then the lever...

    Broken Drain Plug Mercruiser 7.4

    Since you have the plastic plugs this should be a bit easier. The plastic plugs get screwed into an bushing (item 4). Remove the adapter and get the plastic out then reinstall or get another. http://www.mercruiserparts.com/Show_Pictures3.asp?dnbr=809994...

    Going to be Cold this Winter

    Noticed the wooly worms had heavier coats, but seen that before. Next noticed there was a lot of nuts on the ground, but seen that before. The first noted something was different was that the birds left early and the ones that normally stay behind most of them are also gone. The Admiral...

    props for a 27x10 sea ray sundancer

    This is making things worst, your current settings is saying you now have 48% slip. Are your speed reading from a GPS or boat speedometer?

    Changing drive

    For the standard Bravo Ratio is determined by upper and lower sections. If you have the 1.50 ratio then just getting the standard 1.50 B3 lower (15/19) will get you back to the 1.5 ratio B3

    Winterizing - Three Point Manual Drain Plug not Accessible

    Yes, there is only one feed into the engine which goes thru the PS cooler. Pumping 4 gallons of antifreeze thru muffs would give me comfort enough to be sure the pump and up thru the cooler will be protected. The 3 point drain has been out for years, but we are just now starting to see...

    Starting/stalling Mercruiser 7.4 MPI

    This is a classic example of the IAC going out or the wiring to the IAC (P/N 803149). The IAC is located on the throttle body. I know your info given from the prior owner list this was replaced, but this item is not working.
