    Prop Question... Bayliner BR185

    Thanks for that... Will going up in size from 14.5" to 15.5" somewhat offset the reduction in Pitch? Or not enough. The current prop has been getting massaged for a while, so couldnt honestly answer if the rpm changed or not... I will recheck the WOT in a week or so when I'm back with the boat.

    2006 Mercruiser 4.3 no power to Fuel Pump

    Thanks, but I wouldn’t have said it now mysteriously works? We spent a fair bit of time eliminating a bunch of potential reasons, and the conclusion we came to was that It seemed that there was either a Vacuum in the Fuel Line, or there was something stuck inside the Fuel Pump.
