My mercruiser 4.3l 205 is in need of replacement. I'm planning to drop in a 350 and will probably convert a street engine to marine use. What should I look for from the new engine and how hard would it be to put in a fuel injected engine in it? Also I have an alpha 1 out drive, how much hp can...
Took the boat out today for the 1st time this season. While going slow in the channel, on the way out to the lake, I smelled something hot. Popped up the engine cover and there was quite a bit of smoke. Upon quick search it seemed to be coming from the exhaust manifold on the port side of the...
Does anyone know if there is a non marine power steering pump that will replace the pump on a mercruiser 4.3L 205hp? It looks like the pump on several GM engines but there are small differences on all that I've seen. Does anyone know what, if anything, are important differences? I really don't...

I am hoping I can get some quick advise. I need to replace my bunks, and I was thinking to use the plastic lumber. I tried to do a search but no it doesn't seem to be as popular a topic as I thought it would be.
Does anyone have any info on weather or not this is a viable option for trailer...

Last time we took the boat out we drifted into a submerged log/tree. We must have tore the prop on the way out/off of it. I am wondering if we can still use it for this weekend? It seemed to be working fine the rest of the trip. Would it do damage to anything if I do run it as is?
