    Mercruiser exhaust question

    That's what I thought. Does the drive have to come off to plug it back in? It's a Bravo 3

    Mercruiser exhaust question

    I reached out to my mechanic about this. He is going to go back abound what he touched to make sure all is AOK. The speedo isn't working now either. I think it's a petit tube issue since it was fine before the out drive removal. You guys mention the flame arrestor. We are talking about the air...

    Mystery bilge find

    That's what I thought. I know some people send a tube down the dip stick tube to pump out the oil. Maybe it was left in the bilge.

    Mystery bilge find

    Sometimes I wish water would run very high in the bilge if you know what I mean. :)

    Mystery bilge find

    My boat has a 2009 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI with a Bravo 3 outdrive. While in the bilge today trouble shooting a overheating issue, I found this hard plastic tubing in the bilge. Its about 2 feet long and maybe a 1/4 tubing size. I'm wondering if it belongs of if perhaps it was something left behind...

    Cooling orifice tube

    The thermostat was the first item to be replaced. It was done by a mobile mechanic and I have no idea what thermostat he put in it. Since the initial problem it has a new thermostat, new manifolds risers and elbows, a new raw water pump ( mine broke the shaft) AND THEN it went to the dealer...
