    Trim Sender/Limit Mercruiser

    Hello, I have a 95 Bayliner Capri 4.3LX. The trim switch on the controller only goes down. I have to use my trailer switch to trim up. I replaced the trim sender and limit switch on the outdrive, as well as the trim switch on the controller. No luck! Any suggestions as to what may be the problem...

    Quicksilver Commander 3000 upgrade

    My 95 Bayliner Capri 2050 has a broken down Commander 3000 Throttle Shifter Controller. There are newer controllers without a trailer button sold by Mercury Marine (part # 883710a03). Would this be a suitable replacement?

    weird sound

    I have a 1986 Alpha One on a 3.0L engine. Have been noticing a pinging sound or metal clickity sound slightly above the sound of the engine when the sterndrive is in gear upon acceleration or deceleration. It sounds good when boat is at speed. When revving out of gear sounds great. Any ideas on...

    Alpha One Sterndrive

    3.0L distributor bolt/clamp

    Can't seem to access distributor bolt on my 1986 3.0L Mercruiser/Alpha One. Do I have to remove my fuel pump? Oh, I think I just answered my own question...just remove the top filter section of the fuel pump, correct? Thanks

    Mercarb problem

    I have a 3.0L 140 mercruiser with a 2bbl Mercarb. The bore on the bottom of the carb is 1 3/8 inches. I have been offered a 2bbl Mercarb with a 1 3/4 inch bore. Will this improve performance on my boat or create problems? What about if I install the jets from my old mercarb on the larger bore...

    3.0L Mercarb replacement

    Can you replace a 1986 2-barrel mercarb with a newer version? People are selling their new mercarbs for turnkey systems. Will these work on an 86?

    new mercarb

    I have a 1986 I4 3.0L 140 HP M2 Mercarb that needs replacing. Its a 2bbl with one adjusting needle. # 1389-9350. I found a late model 2bbl mercarb off of a 3.0L merc engine. It looks identical in every way. Can I bolt this on? Thanks

    New Carb

    Have corrosion in my 86 Mercarb on a 181 C.I. 140HP 4cyl. motor. On another thread it was suggested I replace the carb with an "upgrade." Can anyone suggest a carb that I can bolt onto this motor that is better than the standard Mercarb? Where's the best place to get these marine carbs? Thanks

    Carb Corrosion

    Inside at the bottom of the float bowl on this 86 mercarb 2 barrell is some corrosion toward one side. It appears mostly minor except for a pinhole that actually goes all the way through. It's much deeper than the rest of the surface corrosion. Could you give me some ideas as to the best way to...
