I’m looking at 2007 Tahoe 215 with a 5.0 and 282 hours on it for $20,000. The pics look good except I see moisture in the speedometer. My boat is an alumInum Tracker that i have done a lot to, so I know the mechanics of it. What should I check for? Thanks.
The holes on either side of the foot/leg of my 1999 25hp Mercury 2 stroke that are toward the front and about 6-8 inches above the prop shaft pour water when I use the muffs. Just wondering if that is normal or is water from the pump leaking out on the way up to the engine? Thanks, Cliff
I have struggled with this issue since I bought this boat. Every end of season oil change was milkshake, except this year. This year I went to a couple of beautiful Arkansas lakes and spent the days there running hours and hours. Ouachita and her little sister Greeson. All years previous, I...
If you can see the pic of my transom, I have been connecting the tow rope to the tie point directly over the out drive. I'm seeing some pulling out or bowing of the transom above this tow point. I have "submarined" the tube a few times. The transom is aluminum with a laminated wood square...
I have a tandem axel 2001 trailer that uses 2x4 box tubing for the main frame. It has dropped 1/2" to 3/4" at the rear looking across the axels forward. It has spotty surface rust but no serious cancer visible. I think the arch of the trailer is causing bowing of the transom of my Tracker Party...
I'm an aluminum boater but I have a fiberglas ladder that is getting "fuzzy" after years on a ladder rack. How can I smooth and seal it again? Thanks, Cliff
2001 4.3 OM060235 Mercarb.
After reassembly of heads, intake and new 2 piece exhaust manifolds, there was 1-2 hours of idling while I checked and adjusted timing, idle, mixture etc over 3-4 different days. I went through this carb a year ago, so I just removed it and scraped the gasket off of...
2001 4.3L Mercarb. I'm trying to fine tune the idle. If I give the throttle lever on the carb a little tug, then the idle drops 6-7 hundred RPM. If I rev it up with the controls and drop back to neutral, the idle stays close to where I want it. I have adjusted the pressure that the cable puts on...
I enjoy checking on the forum using my iPhone 4s. I wish after reading a thread and returning to the forum that it would return to where I was at in the forum, not go back to the top of the forum forcing me to scroll back down to where I was at every time. Thanks, Cliff
I don't know if starting a new thread for every question I have on this project is the right way to go. Maybe I can come back to this one if I need additional information. The bolts holding the power steering pump, lower unit reservoir and alternator to the engine block and heads use no lock or...
I'm trying to search for "4.3 spark plug" and I've tried forum and posts. Haven't seen 4.3 yet. What do I need to do? I know the info is all over the Mercruiser forum, but I get results from all over the entire forum.
