I had some engine problems once again so I took the old 350 mag out of the boat, tore it down and found that o spun a bearing. I was talking to my father today and he offered me his 400 bored 30 over which is a 406, there is no way I'm passing that one up.
I was wondering if my alpha one will...
I looked around and searched the site with no luck looking for an answer to my question. I have a hydraulic trim pump, I just rebuilt my engine and hooked my outdrive up, I tried to trim all the way up and it will only go a little more than half way but it trims all the way down. I do not have a...
I have a quicksilver laser 2 SS prop, I know that it is a 23 pitch by the 23P making but I cant figure out by the numbers what size it is. Does anyone know the Quicksilver laser 2 props well enough to tell how to figure out the size? I'm wanting to use my boaton the river and don't really want...
There is a frost advisory for our area tonight, kinda worried considering the fact that I got back home about an hour ago from puting a fresh motor that I rebuilt in my boat because the guy I bought it from didn't winterize it. Only supposed to be a frosting for about 5 or 6 hours in the early...
I replaced my old alpha one 350 with a 95-00 350 short block and I need to know what spark plugs to use. Can I use regular spark plugs or do I need a mercruiser, quicksilver or sierra part number for a "marine" spark plug?
Before I ask these questions I do have the proper manual for myh specific engine.
I am reinstalling my intake manifold and was wondering if I need the rubber gaskets that go on the front and rear of the block where the maifold bolts down? By the looks of the manual it just shows RTV but I'm not...
While I was changing my water pump in my outdrive I noticed that the shaft was loose is this normal, once I put the water pump back in it was fine. I added a link to a video that I took of it.

I pulled my mechanical fuel pump apart on my 350 mag to find a bunch of milky liquid. Do I need to rebuild or just clean it all up. Do they sell a rebuild kit for it?
Could someone be so kind to post a bunch of pictures of your 350 mag pre MPI? I took a bunch of pictures before I tore mine down so I could look at them to reassemble after changing motors but somehow they got erased from my memory card. My main reason for needing them is so I can see how they...
Anyone know where I can find a cap for the trim pump reservoir? This is what my pump looks like. I think I need a new cap because when I run the drive up and down it is leaking through the pin hole in the cap.
I'm in the process of repowering my boat at the point of puting the whole motor back together and I was wondering if I can get away with just using a Fel Pro gasket set instead of buying an OEM set for near 200 dollars. I found a set of marine head gaskets for a reasonable price and ordered them...
I bought a boat from a guy that "forgot" to winterize his boat and got it for a great deal knowing I would need a new motor. I bought a running 350 from a 1995 chevy van, brought the motor home today and started tearing it down to install all my parts from the old motor that were still good...
I had a cracked manifold and decided to buy a pair from a guy on feebay. Before I bought the manifolds I did some checking online to see if these would work since the ones I was buying were stamped with Mercruiser and the ones I had were not, through my search I found that the ones on feebay...
I had a cracked exhaust manifold and searched online for two new ones and found someone who had two OEM mercruiser exhaust manifolds for sale cheap. The two that were on the motor had a part number of 87114BC2 and the new ones have a part number of 860246. Before I bought them I checked online...
