    4.3 V6 cam retainer

    I am rebuilding a MerCruiser 4.3 V6 and the cam retainer plate was put on previously by someone with a strongarm instead of a proper torque, so I now need to replace it.

    Trim not constant motion?

    I just saved a Bayliner Capri from the woods (I will be posting pictures soon of the restoration) and have noticed that the trim will sometimes stop moving up or down, and I need to release the button, and press it again for it to continue. Could this be air in the lines or is the trim pump...
