I had my wife stop a little bit ago at Skipper (worhtless f*****s) Bud's parts dept. for some HP gear lube, they didn't really know what it was, didn't have any either. She got some there last year and they didn't have what I wanted (high performance gear lube) but the guy said this other stuff...
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows the difference between Quicksilver premium gear lube and high performance gear lube. I grabbed the premium from Wally World and checked the (Mercruiser) book later and it calls for high performance gear lube. Didn't want to have to make a return trip, if not...
Hi,
I touched the battery cables to the wrong terminals (kinda dark) when hooking up for the year and now I don't have power to the key switch. (worked when I put it away for the winter). Anyway, I've checked all fuses and they're all good. Power to everything else as far as I can tell, but...
Hi
Changing from AL to SS prop. I have a 14 1/4 x 21 aluminum prop now that works well. WOT has changed from 4800 RPM to 4900, with a little use and a few tiny nicks. So being 100 RPM over WOT and wanting a SS prop anyway, I'm looking at Ebasic Marine's, SS Express prop and Overton's, SS...
Had you guys at "spread", didn't I. Just a warning to all, that I used tear repair and it's a clear repair product sold for tears in your vinyl upholstery in boats, cars etc. Well it's clear for a few months but after the sun gets on it some, it turns dark brown and then it looks like ****...
Hi,
Can anyone help me with the amount of up and down play I should have in the lower unit drive shaft? It's a "85", 3.0, MR unit w/o preload pin. I have about .050 of movement, maybe all the way to a 1/16". Would I be correct by looking at the way it's laid out that it acts as a shock...
Oh, by the way. Had a couple mice in my garage the last few years chewing up stuff, etc. Finally got a couple mouse traps I haven't got around to setting out yet and the other day blowing leaves out of my garage..... pow, a couple dead mice blew out. Must have drank a little anit-freeze...
I like your "drain'er dry" theory. Makes perfect sense. Better, cheaper and easier by far. That said, what is MerCruiser's theory of adding AF mix in colder climates? Also a quick question as to why the plugs aren't left out for the winter? How about condesate during heating and cooling if...

Has anyone out there cross referenced the mercruiser 4.3 oil filter to a reg. automotive 4.3 GM engine oil filter, so I can grab one from the shelf on the next shopping trip? Year is an "06" Also, I have a couple other questions since I'm asking. First, the timing sticker fell off after a...
At $91.50/hr. for labor and when Skipper Buds told me it would cost $4500 for repair of outdrive(which looking on the net....I could put a new one on myself for $2500 easy), you are crazy not to learn and do as much as you can on your boat!!!! I can put alot of hours in at $10/hr. (value to my...
I have 1985 Rinker 3.0 L motor w/140MR Mercruiser drive unit. Took to dealer for repairs and he said the cost would be $4500 to repair(and thats not counting what could be wrong up in the boat. So for $4500, I'm going to learn about this, cause as I look at this from the back of the boat...
