    5.0xl/V8 mer. Where do I start?

    Well a very good sign is that it DID start for a few seconds with the starting fluid.Get your fuel pump installed ,fill the fuelfilter to the brim, engage the shifter into neutral and pump it several times before cranking .If you are too anxious to wait for the fuel pump, have someone continue...

    Alpha one o/d driveshaft pic.......never seen this before?

    Yamaha 130 run in barrel

    Correct, running at idle in a FULL barrel will be same as in lake. I usually leave garden hose on and in barrel in case pisser is losing water level pissing out to the side of barrel.You are also able to engage into fwd and rev while in barrel with same effect as lake water.Charlie

    Looking at buying a 2006 Bayliner Cierra 2455 that has seen better days at auction with an eye to restore it. Not sure what to look for.

    Not necessarily a newer boat.....just a better quality boat. Bayliner is a very low end boat , not very valuable at all ,regardless of condition. Engines and drives should not be a discontinued brand for obvious reasons. Brands like SeaRay , Regal , Wellcraft , Formula, Chriscraft , Silverton...

    Trim will go up but not down

    Try the switch on the shifter as you shift from fwd to neutral and reverse, Worth trying to change the positions as the issue may be in the switch.Charlie
