I have a 1997 sx cobra outdrive. At the end of Last summer I had the muffs on and engine running and I noticed water coming out of the exhaust bellow, maybe I never noticed it before. But is that normal? I have looked for a new bellow and the ones I found are said to be a new design that...
I need a little help.
My dad has a 70 hp Evinrude that is hard to start and when it starts on muffs it idles. When we try it in the water it dies the instant I put it into gear. We had the fuel pump replaced but it didn't help
I replaced all 3 carbs with different carbs from a motor I have...
I have a 1997 Larson with a 4.3GL. the factory alternator is only 65amps. It can't keep up with the stereo I have in the boat, when the bass hits the amp gauge almost bottoms out and if I play the stereo turned up high for very long all the lights start to dim with each beat of the bass.

I am wondering if a trim sensor from say an OMC outdrive or Mercrusier outdrive would be the same. I am using my boat without the trim gauge working. And its ok but when i first got the boat. A Larson 186SEi 1997 The gauge worked but would jump around a lot. Now it is stuck in the full...
Can someone tell me what the gap should be on the points on a 1982 AQ125 The boat was running last year when parked and now this year it has no spark. I am thinking maybe the coil went out. This is actually my brother's boat. He pulled the points and cleaned the contacts not thinking that...
I have a question about what the API GL-5 means in reference to rating of gear oil. I found in the service manual for my boats lower unit that I need to put oil with an API GL-5 rating in it. Does that mean it is marine or what?
The lower unit on my boat is a Cobra SX 1997 model
I just need to know what weight oil to put into the lower unit and also how much?
I think a quart will be enough but just wanted to ask the experts on iboats for the right answer to my questions.
Is the camshaft the same for an engine with a 2 barrel carb as the same engine with a 4 barrel carb? I have been told the cam is different so to change the intake and carb from a 2 barrel to a 4 barrel without changing the camshaft would be a big waste.
I found an old thread that lists automotive u-joint that work for a mercruiser alpha One gen. II outdrive. And it gives part numbers. I have a 1997 volvo/penta SX-c1 1:85 outdrive. Would the same u-joints work in mine. if not does any one have part numbers for my v/p outdrive ? Sorry I...
I have a 1997 Larson the engine is 4.3 GL PLKD my question is when I turn left or right I hear a roar. I have had the u-joints and Gimbal bearing checked. Neither one are bad. I have now noticed that when u turn the steering wheel I can see the steering cylinders moving up and down and in and...
I am having trouble finding out what temp my engine should run during regular use.
My engine is a Volvo/penta 4.3GL PLKD
Numbers are 4110152461. And another number is
3868618. It is going to 175. I am wondering if that would be consistent with having a 160
thermostat ?
I have a 1997 Volvo/Penta 4.3L V6. Does anyone have a diagram of how the water circulates thru this engine. It has a raw water cooling system. Also it has a thermostat built into the thermostat housing on top of the intake manifold appears to control the flow the the exhaust system. What temp...
