    Mercruiser 4.3 carb weep

    Any flare fitting does NOT get tape or sealant. It bugs me to when I see that. If the flare has been tightend to much, it's shot. Replacing it along with the fitting it seats into is the only option.

    Double checking b4 i buy

    Good question. *sometimes* you can rub the number and see it more clearly. The number usually is melted in but not always. Look up also on how to measure it. I'm getting the same result as you with google.

    Procraft 1780V Leak Problem

    Mondo, If you pulled the deck you would have seen the plumbing. If you did a deckover, you have more rot and weight that you don't need. Yup you broke something.

    TON of questions about Starcraft Islander (22' - 1968) upgrades, modifications, etc. :)

    If it's an original deck, when you pull it up you will see where the foam actually is, if any. Replace it with the same, and Maby some extra if there is places to put it.

    Corrosion/coating on props question

    I've seen a few props from saltwater use that had a rubber spray coating of sorts on them. Don't know what it was though. Stainless *shouldn't* need a coating?

    mercruiser 140 low compression & cracked exhaust manifold

    yes, that is the best route, but when someone is throwing out a good chunk of steel, it's free and flat. I always check the straightedge for flatness every few uses.

    mercruiser 140 low compression & cracked exhaust manifold

    If you can get hold of some old planer blades, they make good straight edges. The backside is usually pretty flat, you should look them over good before use, but it works for me.

    Fuel leak under flywheel?

    Yes, compression is alot higher than vacuum. I was just thinking in the suction side of the case. It does go both ways from downstroke to upstroke.

    mercruiser 140 low compression & cracked exhaust manifold

    Recheck the surface after you get it cleaned up properly. Looks like gasket residue on there to me.

    Oil pan size

    It was designed the way it is because it needed it. Cutting down the capacity can starve the motor of needed lubrication. Keep the 7 quart pan please.

    Replacement Ladder

    It's hard to find a ladder to fit the current setup. The mfg change the designs as often as we change our underwear.

    3M 5200/4200 Clean-up Strategies

    yeah, today we put a light bulb about a foot and a half under there. At the end of the day the 5200 was running out/down. Sh**.....And the bad part is the strut is located under the fuel tank in the aft berth. We have a younger guy who has to lay behind the tank, on his side and reach with one...

    3M 5200/4200 Clean-up Strategies

    I hate 5200. We currently have a strut we had to re-do and it's been three weeks, it's still soft. Not looking forward to removing it and doing it with 4200. I suppose it's a bad batch but still. Any time something is bedded with 5200 it's a bear to take off.

    3M 5200/4200 Clean-up Strategies

    Yeah, I clean/wipe off the excess right away. The sealant is still under the washer or bolt so it'll still seal.
