    Brand new GLM trim cylinder will not completely retract

    Jeez I bled these 3 times (not saying I couldn't of done it poorly 3 times but) and I still cannot get the dang thing to trim all the way the way in. When standing on it the farthest in I can get it is everything but about an inch. Bought from mercstuff.com as it's one of the few places you can...

    dual I/o power trim and tilt master button

    I need to figure out how to DIY wire the master trim button with diodes. I have twin 3.0l mercs with I/o , bought a seastar/domestic standard remote control, specifically the chx8242p, came with 4 buttons not counting the master trim on the handle. I'm assuming the 2 extra per side are to...

    Does something exist to change angle of exhaust elbow and tube on a 3.0l mercruiser sterndrive?

    Does something exist to change angle of exhaust elbow and tube on a current/newer 3.0l mercruiser sterndrive? Long story short are there any options for changing the route of the exhaust elbow and therefore tube connecting to the transom assembly so as to fit better in the engine compartment...

    To fuel filter or not. 3.0

    Seems some documents state not to put a fuel water separator filter on a 3.0l mercruiser, is that correct? Do they really just want you to rely on the mechanical fuel pump filter? Is it just that the mechanical fuel pump is not robust enough to draw through it? I'd hate to starve the engine of...

    2.00 ratio Alpha one gen 2

    Couple of questions; Generally, what is the whole point of 2.00 ratio? Efficiency? Engine wear? What's it's deal? Why would you put it on a 3.0l instead of the 1.94? The talking specifically about the gearcase what is the difference between the 2.00 ratio and the rest of the gearcases? Just...
