I'm replacing my cap and rotor and when I pulled out the mallory rotor it had a ring type spacer below it. It's 1/8" thick and fits the rotor base perfectly.
mallory cap: 9-29402
mallory rotor: 9-29207
Anyone know if:

Hey guys! This is a newb question for the restoration crowd, but I'm planning on replacing my lounge seats in my 19ft bowrider. My boat is still up north being stored so I'm just trying to gather supplies and I'm having a tough time finding correct literature thus far.
I'm...
Hey Gents,
GM 350
I recently pulled the connection cable/wire between my coil and distributor to clean it. The metal terminal under the coil side boot was completely corroded. So much so, that when I went to clean it, a small piece broke off! I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a...
Hi all,
I'm planning on cutting out the tops of my engine mounts to inspect the rot thats in there and possibly dig most out. Is it worth trying to keep the sidewalls in tact for the inspection?
What should I use to cut the glass top off? Cut-off wheel on an angle grinder? Sawzall? Use a...
I was wondering if anyone in this forum has used Seacast or Rot Doctor CPES/L&L for repairing engine mount areas?
Did it work well, poorly? What kind of shape was your stringer in?
Depending upon the extent of the rot, I'm trying to decide whether to cut the fiberglass top off and replace the...

Ooooh. Waawha.

So my thread that started as a shift cable replacement has turned into the largest boat repair I?ve ever been involved with (4 years into boating, so by no means am I seasoned). Granted this is what you get when you buy an older boat...
Hi Fellas,
I got a call from a buddy who was stranded on the opposite side of the lake. He has a Merc 140. Said he had been running fine for about 3 hours, idling and WOT etc. Then in idle, it began to sputter and die. He couldn't keep it started unless the rpm's were high, and then when...

I've finally gotten the time and motivation to dig into the trim problem I've been having.
I have the (standard for the time?) Quicksilver panel mount remote control with the trim toggle and the trailer button. The trim down button works as it should (as far as I...

After a long relaxing weekend away from the boat, I came home to find my roommate fuming:
He had brought it out fishing, got out to his spot just fine. As he was going to leave, he turned the ignition on, everything normal. Shifted into forward and nothing happened except...
Greetings,
I'm planning on wiring in some LED rope lights (12V) into the gunwales of my boat. Since I don't have any remaining switches/fuses open, I'm going to wire my own in.
I'm planning on using a max of 18ft of lighting, and the rating is max 0.8W per foot of lights. So the max would be...
Ok so the boat I bought in '05 has an 898 outdrive and the block is an original 898 from the same year ('82).
According to the shop manual, RPM @ WOT for the 898 should be 3800-4200 (fact check?).
In 2003, the previous owner had the engine converted into a 5.7 liter 350 cid/260 nhp. It still...
I know Bond-o will love this but...;)
Which grease is best for on the prop shaft?
This guy at the marina told me to use some of this hypoid 90 stuff; I have a tough time believing that a 90 weight oil should be used in place of a waterproof grease.
