I have a 01 Volvo Penta SX duo prop drive and I'm getting a water Leak at the rear of the engine in the y pipe area. It only leaks when the leg is down. When the leg is up the leak stops. I've attached a video of where it's leaking from. Any ideas what this is?
Hello, I've had my 1998 searay 215 express cruiser for 8 years now. It's been a great boat, It does everything for me. Ocean Overnighters, Water sports at the lake it's been great all around. It has the 5.0 Merc efi which is a bit under powered but none the less it's been reliable and I've never...
I'm having an issue with my alpha one gen 2. I pulled the leg off the boat and the driveshaft will not turn in neutral. I tried to put it in gear by hand and nothing happens. I pulled the top cover off and the bearings are in tact and the oil is clean. Any idea?
Hi,
I'm having an issue with my 1998 Mercruiser 5.0. It's getting hung up on one point of the rotation. It wrecked my starter motor so I pulled the starter out and rotated the motor by hand.(Breaker bar) I can rotate the motor counter clockwise fine doing a full rotation but when I want to...
Hi. I'm having an issue with my Mercruiser 5.0 EFI. It left me dead in the water yesterday.
I was cruising along when the power started cutting in and out It did this for about 15 seconds then came right down to idle speed even with the throttle pushed all the way. It came down to idle and ran...
Hi, I've got a tandem trailer with surge brakes. Driving forward its fine but once I go into reverse, doesn't matter if the trailer brake lock out is on or off, one of the rear wheels locks up and skids. What would the issue be here?
Thanks.
Hi, Was cruising in the boat tonight and it just died all of a sudden. No signs or symptoms, it was running excellent before it died. It cranks fine, just won't fire. I pulled the flame arrestor off while cranking and its getting no fuel. The key buzzer isn't sounding either like it usually...
2002 Mercruiser 5.0 EFI. Was cranking the motor in the driveway trying to get the motor to start. Tired about 10 times, crank crank crank then the starter let go and it is making a whirring noise. No Engagement, just a whirr. Attached is a video of what it's doing. It has nothing to do with...
Hi, was removing my powersteering lines from the rack and one of my hose fittings was corroded and snapped off. When something like this happens on a car I'll usually go into a fittings place and they'll press fit a new head onto my existing hose for like $25. I've been to all the places around...
Hi, I'm trying to remove my riser studs (The ones that go into the top of the manifold). Nuts came off, riser is pulled off and I need to remove the studs. I tried double nutting them and that didn't work. Do I need to apply heat or something? Is there a type of thread locker in there that needs...
Hi, was just replacing my shift cable and it got jammed in the flywheel area as I was feeding it through into the boat. I've pulled the plugs and turned it over by hand forwards and backwards to the point where its jammed up I can't rotate the engine backwards because the bolt on the counter...
Hi, I have an 07 Bayliner with the Merc 3.0 engine. I bought it with a cracked block. I have found a bottom end from an 1989 Mercruiser 3.0. Would these be interchangeable? Or what differences would the blocks have?
Thanks.
Hi, replacing my tilt/trim assembly on my 1993 4.3 with SP-C drive. Just wondering if there is a proper procedure to bleed these things while installing or do they self bleed? Thanks.
Hi looking to replace my tilt/trim pump. Its off a 1993 Volvo 4.3 (430b) with an SP-C leg. The number on my pump is: 854437 and no aftermarket companies make them since volvo quit making this number. Can someone give me a part number to another pump that will work? Thanks.
This is for a 1993 Volvo Penta but I'm sure the mercruisers are the same and there is more action in this section so that's why I'm posting here.I'm getting no power to my trim pump, blower motor, bilge pump or starter. Gauges work fine, stereo turns on. I go to turn the key and I get a clicking...
I've got a 1993 Volvo Penta 4.3 that I'm having electrical issues with. I'll turn the key and all the gauges move so I'm getting power to the cluster. The Stereo works but nothing else. Blower, trim/tilt, starter, nav lights etc are not getting power. I turn the key though and I do hear a faint...
Hi, just finishing up the wiring on my motor install. It's a Carb'd Mercruiser 5.7. I have two remaining wires on the shifter assembly. (Shift interrupt switch I believe). They are black and white. I can't figure out where they go as there are no other stray wires hanging around.
I'm also...
Hi, Just buttoning up my Mercruiser 350 install. I didn't remove the motor myself as the previous owner had a shop do it so I don't know where everything goes. Just wondering if any of you know where these wires and hose go. Pictures are attached. Thanks.
My Mercruiser 350 dropped a valve guide on one of the cylinders causing a bunch of damage. So I need a new head...
My casting number is: 14096217 which is a year 1955-86 GM head. If I bought a used head off any gm 350 between those years would that work? Or are marine heads totally different?
I broke the fitting off my wash pump system. This is the fitting which passes through the deck and attaches to the house on the other side. I found that they sell them in the wash pump kits but they don't have a name and I would like to buy it as a single part. Anyone know what these are called...
