Hey guys,
I think I have a grounding "gremlin". At first, the volt meter on my dash started reading between 14 and 16 volts so I took my meter and checked the battery and sure enough, it was between 14 and 16 volts depending on the RPM of the engine. I put a new alternator in and still no...
Hey guys,
I just got my hands on a LT1 350 vortec motor out of a 95 buick roadmaster stationwagon, is it a good motor to replace my 87 merc 350(260hp) with. Should I put a different cam in it to bring the powerband down to around 4500rpm or is it already there? I run an Alpha 1 outdrive...

I pulled off the hose between the T-stat housing and the...

thanks

thanks

I am new to the boating community and as such, have been doing alot of reading in this forum. I've found lots of great info, which I'm going to need because I have to do some motor mount and stringer repair/replacement.Anyway, the boat I have is a 1987 Century 4500 XL, does anyone know anything...
I recently jumped into the boating world with both feet.I purchased an 87 century 4500 with a 350 merc/260 hp and merc outdrive. I would love to find out were I can find manuals,etc for this boat. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
