    Hey all, I am in the process of converting to an electronic ignition system and upon removing the breaker plate I noticed the smaller of the weight springs is broken. I have been searching for awhile with no luck finding the spring or set of springs. I am pretty sure it's a delco distributor...

    3.0 Mercruiser stalls out after a few minutes of throttle....

    Hello all!! I have a 90 sea ray with a 3.0 mercruiser which uses the mercarb carb. I did a tune up, changed all filters, and put fresh gas in the tank and it has an almost new fuel pump. I also rebuilt the carb because of dead/bog spot issues, which I still have. I did some research and made...

    91 Sea Ray 170 stringer rebuild.

    Re: 91 Sea Ray 170 stringer rebuild. What would be the best method for fixing this? I plan on putting a layer or two of 1708 on the inside to patch the hole, will I need do any glass work on the outside or just sand down and use a filler or something?

    Re: 91 Sea Ray 170 stringer rebuild. Well it's been a couple weeks since I've had time to work on my boat, but I finally had some time yesterday to do some grinding. There are a few spots where the peanut butter seems to be extra thick and in areas where it doesn't seem that it needs to be...

    91 Sea Ray 170 stringer rebuild.

    I am attempting to rebuild the stringers in my Sea Ray and thought I would share with everyone else. Over the winter I decided to investigate a couple of soft spots in the deck and found that every piece of wood in my boat was either rotted or soaking wet. Basically everything under the carpet...

    Mercruiser 3.0L distributor

    This may be a dumb question, but I'm wondering if the distributor off of a 3.0 OMC would work on my 3.0 Mercruiser? Mine is a 1990 and the OMC in question is from a 87' Bayliner.
