Starting the job this weekend. I figured I would start this thread now so that anyone interested in following could hop on board and be ready when my questions start. :)
I have the Mercury kit that came with :
21906 Gimbal housing bearing
39622 Outdrive installation gasket kit
47110 3/4 inch...
I've been trying to find one for 3 years now with no luck. I want the 2 piece snap covers. One on the bow and one for the windshield back. I've searched all over and only see travel covers which I already have. Any ideas?
Hey all. I've been having this issue for the past few years and it's really bugging me. I'm pretty sure the float in the carb is sticking every once in a while. I got it all ready last weekend and de winterized it and it was running great. I fired it up today and it was running like garbage...
I could have swore I saw the procedure but can't locate it now. My fluid is old and low so I wanted to bleed it all out and replace it. Can anyone point me to the procedure?
Thanks.
Since owning my boat for the last few years I've started noticing and repairing all of the things that it seems to be missing. The carburator's mechanical advance was broken, there is an inline clear fuel filter from Canadian Tire, no water separator, the clear line running from the carb back to...
Looking at ditching my old points system on my 1991 Bayliner 3.0L but all the kits I find are $900-$1000. Seems pricey for a distributor and coil.
Anyone know do it yourself parts or a cheaper kit?
1991 Bayliner Capri with 3.0L Mercruiser and Alpha 1 Gen 2 outdrive.
Had the boat out last year and this year and all of a sudden on the lake this past summer it wouldn't start when hot. Won't even turnover. It's like I disconnected the battery, but all of the accessories work just fine. At...
My Alpha 1 Gen 2 upper drive gear broke a few teeth. The gear ratio is 1.98:1 and it is attached to a 3.0L. If I replace the upper unit with a different one instead of doing the gears does it matter what ratio I get? If I just replace the whole drive does it matter? The ones I am looking at are...
Recently while underway the boat started making a clicking noise around the top of the upper unit. It changed the tone of the whole outdrive, like a hole in a car exhaust. I suspect it's the universal in the driveshaft. I am at the lake and the clicking continued at random speeds, random times...
My boat has been running very rich so I adjusted the carb as per the manual and it was still idling at 1600 rpm. You could smell gas and the exhaust was black. I pulled the carb and the intake was absolutely soaked with gas. I am going to rebuild it but my local marine shop says the Mercarb has...
I have an inline fuel filter in the line going from the fuel tank to the engine. Is this normal? Some people have told me it's a fire hazard. It is the same as the filter below. I've had the boat serviced before at a reputable shop and no one has said anything to me about it.
I've found every adhesive and lubricant that the manual says I need except Loctite 27131 and 3M brand adhesive. All the Loctite stuff here is 3 digits and 3M brand adhesive is pretty vague. Any help would be appreciated.
I have play in my steering wheel. I crawled under the dash and the steering wheel moves a solid hour (12 o'clock to 1 o'clock) before anything starts moving at the rack behind the wheel. So I figure it's the bushing in the steering shaft. I didn't want this to be a brutal job but it is just...
I have a 1991 3.0L Mercruiser with an alpha one gen 2 outdrive. I pulled the lower unit today to fix my leaking shift shaft seal and to replace the water pump. I followed the manual for everything and installed a new water pump face seal. Problem is that there wasn't an old one on there. I...
