    Volvo Penta AQ140 water coming out of carbs.

    That is not good. Don't know what the issue is but that is a water pump, not a motor. Time to pull the motor, pickle it and start looking for the issue?

    suggestions on removing fuel from tank

    The only thing I use is seafoam. And not every season. I put it in every other year just because I can.

    At a shop I worked at, the boss would mix up "snot" Wheel bearing grease, with gear lube mixed in. Slightly fluid, but sticky. Works well!

    Block sealant...in a raw water system

    I dremeled out the crack a bit, cleaned it well and put the jb in, smoothed it with my wet fingers, then dabbed a shop rag to make it look like cast. A little paint and you cant see where the repair is. Two motors of mine that havent leaked in 5 years.

    House battery?

    Where you at? Would be nice if people would fill out their profile so we could direct you to the proper place to look at it. Any good marine mechanic that has ABYC training should be able to figure it out. A run of the mill mechanic may not know what to look for.

    Bellows full of grease/oil

    If the drive oil is clean/not milky, or going low, then it's not leaking. If any of the above are present, then yes. The water is mixing with the grease.

    Bellows full of grease/oil

    Yeah, You have a water leak getting into the bellows, mixing with the grease that was in there and making a mess. I'm sure the gimble will fail soon, along with the u-joints. They now have water in them.

    Gas Issues

    I used up about 30 gallons of water in the fuel. A customer had a leaking fuel fill and said pump it out, clean tank, and dispose of the fuel. Pumped it into a drum, let it sit. Took a sample in a glass jar and put it outside, let it freeze. The fuel was good on top, so I simply put the barrell...

    Ford 302 issues

    Had that happen on a chevy 350. The nuts were wore out, replaced them and the issue went away.

    Electrical issue, ticking sound

    Check the transducer. Some are wired directly to the battery, and they do make a ticking sound.

    Cut Holes for Improving Engine Access

    Or just install some quick hasps to the lower cover, unclip and remove instead of taking screws out or drilling holes.

    Second Happiest Day . . .

    Never seen a boat mechanic run out in the ocean down in the engine compartment, but I guess he got to see everything under load. I do that quite often.
