Hey guys. I had some work done on my boat a while back (outdrive was pulled off) and since getting it back from the shop i have noticed water coming in from my transom. The shop is now out of business so I am on my own to figure it out and get it fixed. I have replaced the belows and that didnt...
Does anyone know off the top of their head what Holley carb is on the OMC 351 engine? It is on a 1991 Four Winns 200 Horizon. The only number I could see was on the top..."6R7072B". I don't want to put any ideas in anyone's head but I think it could be a Holley 4160 600cfm. Need to order today...

I got my outdrive off today to inspect some concerns I have been having. I have been having some bearing noise coming from my sterndrive and thought it may be my gimble bearing or something internal. I still believe I have internal issues that I will be checking out later but check out what I...
I changed my sterndrive gear oil today and on the middle and lower drain plug magnets I had MAJOR shavings (even a pretty good chunk of metal). I know some metal dust is ok but I think this may be excessive. Anyone have any insite on if this is normal or not?
History: I changed the fluid 2...
