    Fuel Tank Gasket

    I have a 4.3 mercruiser with a 20 gallon fuel tank. On top of the tank is what I think is the fuel gauge sensor, and the gasket under that is comming apart and fuel is leaking out when I top off. Where do I find a new gasket or can I fabricate one? :confused:

    Exhaust Smell

    Hi all, I'm new to boating. I just bought a 1998 monterey 180 w/ merc 4.3 alpha one out drive. Everything seems to work perfectly but I have a strong exhaust smell especially when cruising at slow speeds. Is this normal or is there anything I need to check?<br /><br />BadMoJoe :cool:
