The diaphram itself which is the solid black rubber type material is installed facing the engine and the gasket sits on top of it correct?

OK so long story short maybe. I have another post related to the water separator issue.
My engine was starting on the first try pretty much after I replaced the head gasket a few months back. a few weeks ago I added an inline (glass) fuel filter and started having performance issues and restart...
engine - 87 Force 125
So I installed a new water separator the other day. I was able to get the engine started on land fine so I figured all was well, not. I took the boat to the lake today and put it in and had the bulb primed and could not get it to start. I took the boat out and headed to...
I purchased a water separator (Attwood) today.
My question is pertaining to mounting.
I have mounted the bracket against the bilge compartment where the filter and bracket faces rearward towards the transom, I blocked off the holes that point towards the tank/pump and attached the fuel line...

Hey all,
I decided to add an inline fuel filter between the engine and the tank for some added security. When I went out on Saturday I found it hard to get the engine started again after running WOT and pulling a tube and skiers.
Does an in line fuel filter cause this type of issue where you...

Hi,
I have a 1987 Bayliner capri 1900 Bow rider
I am replacing the upholstery on the bow seats, side rails and the read seats and back rest, I am getting new back to back seats (used) because they are cheaper than paying for someone to cover them, too much work to cover the back to backs I...
Hey All
Now that the head gasket is replaced and the engine runs I need to adjust the speed control linkage because the previous owner must have messed with the settings because the gasket was blown and they had no clue.
I have followed the manual to line the cam markings up to the roller, I...
Does someone have photos of the location where the hardware attaches to the port/starboard sides for the factory bimini top? I see no mounting hardware outside or inside, All I see on my boat is the hardware for the straps.
Thanks!
