    Kenwood HU won’t turn off

    I have a KMR 700U with a wired remote KCA-RC107MR that have worked flawlessly for many years. When I press the power button on the head unit to turn the unit off it powers back up after about 7 seconds. If I press the power button on the wires remote it does nothing. Everything else seems to...

    7.4 Oil sheen

    I have a 7.4 liter MPI, closed cooling engine in a Bayliner 2556 that appears to be leaking oil showing up as a sheen behind the boat at idle. Engine is very clean and no oil/gas in the bilge.

    What sizes are the prop nuts on Bravo III

    I have the OEM service manual but I don't see where the sizes are shown for the prop nuts. The outer looks to be about 1-7/16? and the inner is much larger.

    Drive unit gear lube monitor questions

    In the process of changing the gear lube (it's draining right now). I removed the gear lube monitor and cleaned it out by stuffing paper towels and swabbing it around with a screwdriver to pick up the sludge. The finished product is nice and clean but it was a pain to do. Is there a better way...

    How do you know if there's water in fuel tank?

    In a prior post about fogging a MPI engine it was said that a new fuel filter/water separator should be used so that if water is found it wont rust in the filter. Also if any, or too much, water was found that that would be the time to get it out of the tank before it caused problems. My...

    What's the scoop on Teflon tape?

    It's come to my attention from reading these posts and a few other places that Teflon tape has no place on a boat. Could someone explain why this is?

    Fogging MPI

    In an earlier post I asked what the procedure was to fog my engine (Mercruiser 7.4 MPI) and Don S. graciously provided the link to Mercruiser's service bulletin explaining how this should be done. [URL="http://www.boatfix.com/merc/Bullet/01/01_15.pdf"] I followed the procedure exactly as shown...

    How to fogg a MPI engine?

    I have a '98 Mercruiser FWC 7.4 liter with MPI and am not clear on the fogging method and yes, I have a OEM service manual -on order- but I do not have it yet. How do I do this and can I coordinate this fogging with flushing my raw water side with anti-freeze before it stops running?

    Is your puter too slow?

    OK, so this probably isn't the best place to start this thread, but it is valuable information; moderator, excuse me. I am new to this site, but right away I was frustrated by how slow things were to load on my computer. Every time I wanted to move to another screen it would take me 10-15...

    Pages slow to load on iboats

    Hello, new to this forum and still just getting my feet wet. This site runs very slow for me. When I click on a topic, the iboat tool bar and the add show up right away, but the rest of the screen stays gray for about ten seconds before the thread listing, or anything else for that matter, show...

    Question on Duoprop moved from General Boating

    Hello, I'm new to this forum so please excuse me if I'm not doing this correctly. I posted this question on the General Boating section (please look) but now think that it is more appropriate here. I cut and pasted most of it below. I'm hoping someone can explain to me the difference in...
