    Rotation

    I have a 4.3 Mercuiser with an Alpha one gen one out drive. I noticed while I was replacing some belts that the info plate says rotation LH. I looked at my prop and I am almost certain it is a right rotation. I have been using the boat about four years and not noticed anything other than at low...

    Alternator Belt

    Can anyone tell me the exact belt I need for 4.3 Mercruiser Alternator Belt? It is the two V-Belts and it’s the one for the alternator. I keep shredding them and I am hoping it’s from getting a non marine one from the auto store. Serial # 0C665456

    Alternator Overcharging

    I replaced an alternator on a 4.3 mercruiser about a year ago because the gauge on the dash was reading low and I had to use a jumper pack a couple times. Got a new alternator online and everything was good for the season. I tried to get one that matched the output of the original. Can’t...

    Speedometer

    I have a mercruiser Apha One Gen One that the speedometer quit working on. I don’t want to replace with a gps unit kinda just trying to learn about boats. There was a pinch in the line running between the speedometer and the plastic intake mounted on the transom. I fixed that and air blows from...

    Prop

    I took off a Rubex propeller and was hoping to change it up a quicksilver but it looks pressed in. The quicksilver looks all metal. Is there a way to use it?? I’ve never done a prop. Thanks

    Alternator

    So I was trying to take the alternator from my 4.3 mercruiser in to get checked and I couldn’t get it all the way off. There was a black box attached to the back of the alternator that had wires that ran into the whole wire harness. Sorry I don’t do electrical work much. Anyway, someone tried to...

    Rinker Captiva

    I have a 1989 Rinker Captiva and I have no idea what this cap is for? It’s on the port side towards the bow. There is no live well on board. I attached a video.

    Battery Died

    My 1989 Rinker with a 4.3 Mercuiser would not start yesterday. I keep a small battery jump pack on the boat and it started using that. I was on the lake for about 4-5 hours, a mix of fishing and cruising. We did some WOT trying to sort out some backfire issues (tune up probably). Ran the radio a...

    No Spark 1976 Chrysler 70 HP

    New to boat ownership. Me and my 11 year old son fish 2-3 times a week and recently acquired a 1977 muskie 550 with a 1976 Chrysler 70 hp motor. Took it out 2-3 times and ran great! Carbs got stuck with gunk but I got them all cleaned up and put it in the water. However, she kept dying 50...
