    Carb Issue

    I have a 1995 Caravelle 1750 with the 3.0, 135hp mercruiser engine. I had my boat winterized and just took it out for the 1st time this season. The boat ran great, but would not idle at all. I would put it in neutral and it would sputter and die. I have a feeling that the carb may need an...

    Center Console Family Boat

    I am in the market for a new boat and really like the openness of a center console, how are these with families and skiing. We have always owned runabouts, but we are thinking about a change. We usually go to lakes and rivers and you don't see very many of them around here. Any thoughts or...

    Trailer 4 Pin Connector

    I have a 2004 Jeep Cherokee, just installed a non factory wire harness for my trailer. I checked the 4 pin connection with a volt tester and I am getting turn signals only. I have no power when I hit the brakes or running lights, does this sound like a faulty convertor box?

    Hole in my Valve cover

    I have a Mercruiser 3.0 and there is a hole on the top of the valve cover. It appears there is a piece of hose that should go over the hole and connect it to the carb. What does this tube do and how should I connect it (a clamp?)? Any help would be appriecitated, Thanks.

    Pulling the Engine

    Well I just got the bad news that I have to pull the engine (1995 3.0 Mercruiser 135hp). I just had the shift cable and shift cable bellows replaced to fix a leak, but somehow another leak has happened. The mechanic believes it is the "O-ring" or "Y-pipe". My question is should I have them do...

    Dealers Fault?

    I just had the shift cable bellow and shift cable replaced on my 3.0 Mercruiser. We put the boat in the water today and the boat is leaking at the bottom of where the engine goes through the transom. It is a different location than before. Is this something the dealer might have missed when...

The first and most important one to get fixed, the transom has a small leak around one of the bolts in the transom. I am not sure what the bolt is to, but any help would be...
