I was doing my winterization and noticed something about the carb that I think is wrong, but I don't know for sure and wanted to ask the experts. I have a '95 Mercruiser 5.6L V6 180hp.
With the engine off and the carb cover off, I noticed that the plate that covers 2 of the 4 barrels didn't...
Hey everyone, I completed my winterization today for the first time on my own and had a couple questions. I live in Ohio, so the weather can get very cold here. I completed last year's winterization along with the help of someone. We replaced the lower unit lube and impeller.
I didn't replace...
When I did my end of year service last winter I split my lower unit and saw the pieces of my exhaust water flapper/ shutter in the bottom of the thru prop exhaust chamber.
In doing some research here and with fello boaters it looks like the repair is pretty straight forward, I just need to...
I had separated my lower unit from my I/O 1995 rinker with the 4.6L V6 Mercruiser and saw something I (and my friend helping me) had no idea what it was. When we reassembled the lower unit we didn't put it back in...well mainly cause we didn't know where it went! But he came across today what it...
Well my carpet wrapped wood side steps for my 12 year old trailer have completely rotted away. So in my search for a good wood base to redo these, I came across a product called Powerply from World Panel Products Inc. (http://worldpanel.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Powerply). It seems like a pretty...
Calling all boaters....I am investigating some locations for my Bachelor Party, commencing June or early July 2008. I live in the Cincy area and would like to go somewhere that I can trailer my 19' Rinker (along with a couple other friend's boats and jet skis). So I was looking in a 5-6 hour...
I purchased the McGuard prop locking nut and installed it this weekend, but I had a question to find out if I did it correctly.
I have a '95 Rinker Captiva 190 with Alpha 1 Mercruiser outdrive. The instructions said to remove the "tabbed washer". I wasn't sure what that was or if my boat has...
Hey everyone! I have found reading this forum very helpful. I did want to post something to get the thoughts from the experts. I purchased a '95 Captiva 190 (great boat!) last December and it is in amazing condition. With the year it is, of course it is carburated. When I turn off the engine...
I bought the Teleflex Sportsman Tach from iBoats to install on my '65 33 hp 'Rude. It said the motor just needed an alternator. Now I am not quite sure this product will work on my boat. I boat has what is refered to in the manual as a "generator" but it doesn't say alternator. When I was trying...
'65 33 hp 'Rude. I tried to replace my lower unit oil the other day and was unsuccessful. I have a couple newbie questions, sorry first time changing lower unit oil on a boat. I did get new screws and washers for the change. First question, is there a difference between lower unit "lube" and...
Was going to install a water pressure gauge but Paul mentioned the pressure was so low not to bother. So now I am curious how to install a tell-tale?
Thanks in advance,

Just curious where to drill to install a water pressure gauge. My boat doesn't have a water pressure plug to use and I need to tap my own. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Patrick
I am going to replace my water pump impellar and decided to add a water pressure gauge to identify any premature water pump problems and prevent over heating. My engine is a '65 33 hp 'Rude. 1 question is who are the water pressure gauges installed? I assume it will come with instructions, but...
