    350 mag rocker cover hose

    My flame arrester looks like this below with nowhere to attach a hose unless I am missing something. also pic showing throttle body. Given the number of things I found wrong wih this boat after I bought it doesn't surprise me! Thanks for your help.

    350 mag rocker cover hose

    Thanks for your detailed response & highlighting the likely hose & its connection point which is most helpful. Yes I did remove rocker cover that side when I was investigating the stuck lifters but cant remember a hose but it was a couple of years ago. I will go out to boat tomorrow & check &...

    350 mag rocker cover hose

    I noticed on the port side of my engine there is a right angle hose fitting on the rocker cover with no hose attached. According to parts diagram it shows a hose but doesn't show where other end connects to? Anyone any idea? The other rocker cover has the pcv valve in.

    Bravo 3 steering cable stuck in housing

    Thanks everyone steering back to normal. About 18 months ago seawater pump sprung a leak & sprayed Saltwater mist everywhere & rust appeared. I need to go round with rust converter & paint. Boat has been a bit neglected as I have been overseas a lot this year.

    Bravo 3 steering cable stuck in housing

    Thanks for the advice guys. Gently tapping cable end with a brass drift & plenty of wd40 got it out. It appears the last inch or so of the tube is a smaller so once I got past that it fell out. Pushing cable end back & forth with more wd40 freed it up completely. What do you use for lube...

    Bravo 3 steering cable stuck in housing

    Thanks for reply. Yes I have removed clevis pin. Steering wheel still locked. If corrosion in tube seems to be the issue surely l have to free stuck cable end? I am assuming cable end is normally a slide fit in aluminium tube which is why I could tap it out with a bit of brass.

    Bravo 3 steering cable stuck in housing

    My steering has jammed bravo 3. I have undone nut securing cable to power steering assembly but I can't pull cable out as it appears the rod is stuck in housing (circled in pic). I am going to soak it in penetrant. Is it ok to gently tap end of rod to try & free it up?

    350 Mag Mpi hard to start when warm or hot

    Been a long time with this problem that uncovered other major problem with engine but I have just had injectors cleaned & she starts when hot now. The guy who cleaned the injectors said they were not that bad & he didn't think it would affect hot starting.

    350 mag mpi iAc muffler stuck in cylinder

    Thanks for reply & apologies for not responding earlier. Yes got the filter out. Non starting had me baffled. I thought try something different so I disconnected all of the injector electrical connectors & it fired up albeit very roughly. After it stopped I reconnected connectors & it started ok...
