    Another winterize question

    Not a 5th plug, but you want to remove the water inlet hose from the transom... I usually do it at the power steering cooler... I also like to pull the large hose from the water pump... I usually don't get much, but it tends to act a little like a trap...

    I sealed the holes by soaking them in resin and then gelcoat... I then filled the holes with 3M 4000 before installing the gimbal housing assembly... For the keyhole, I soaked it in resin and then gave it a layer of CSM and then gelcoat... Thinking that should be more than sufficient... In...

    I figured I'd stop by since I've not been very active around here lately and give an update... I've basically been doing nothing boat related for the last several weeks because I've been fully engulfed in a separate project of building a patio roof. With the boating season pretty much coming to...

    Decided to take her for a spin this evening and test out the shiny hull... glad to report there was no water staining at all so I'm super happy about that.. I also decided to check out the view from the back seat and let the admiral drive for a while... she doesn't usually like driving when...

    Merc 5.7 stalls after cruising

    Hi all, I have recently just splashed my 3 year long restoration of a 96 Bayliner with a 5.7L Merc with a 2bbl Mercarb... (Engine s/n: 0F769374)... I noticed after a couple weekends ago that after cruising around for more than a few minutes, sometimes when I would come back down to idle to go...

    Well, its official... She's at the bottom of Raystown Lake.... lol, jk It went fantastic... It towed great and boated great. Nothing let me down, however I did discover one odd thing... After cruising around for a while, when I would come back down to an idle in a no wake zone, it had shut...

    Thats where I'd like to keep my anchor, but the danforth style anchor that came with the boat doesn't fit... I ended up ordering a PVC coated "river" anchor from iboats... Hoping it will work out.

    Got a little more done this week... I knew the trailer bunk brackets were a little rusty, but I had no idea how close they were to totally failing... The main bracket that bolts to the trailer were in great shape, but the swivel part that bolts to bunk were absolutely toast. Some parts were...

    I dug out the bimini cover that came with the boat that had been in storage since it came home 3 years ago... Unfortunately, it looks like the mice decided to make it a home... I'm pissed at myself for letting that happen, cuz otherwise it probably would have been in great shape... Now I need to...

    i HAD the thunderbolt 5 system which IS bulletproof... but I guess mine wasn't happy with its life anymore... I ran thru troubleshooting flow chart several times to verify and it always pointed to a bad module, which was mutually agreed upon over in the merc forum as well... I even took apart...

    Bad ignition module - 5.7 Thunderbolt V

    Hey all, I'm finishing up a 3yr restoration of my 96 bayliner... I started up the engine on muffs a couple weeks ago to check my throttle/carb settings and everything was working great. Just the other day, I went to start it up again to check a few more things and it would not start for...

    Should have pretty nice weather today and tomorrow so hopefully I can get the starboard side side panel installed... that's honestly holding up a lot of work... since it has the controller on it, I need to get it installed to install/adjust the throttle and shift cable. Also need it in to...

    Decided to install a remote trim switch at the transom yesterday... This was one of the best things I've ever done lol... I can't believe it took me so long, this is way better than having to climb in and out of the boat to raise and lower the trim when working on stuff. The other nice thing...

    So I picked me up some o' that PVC board that mickyryan is always goin' on about.. I got some half inch thick stuff to keep it kinda low profile, but since 1/2" is pretty flimsy, I added some stiffening ribs in between where I'm going to screw it in. I'm going to use it for the built in step on...

    A bit more progress today. I got my new steering wheel installed... I ended up just going with black instead of the beige on that was in before because for some reason aftermarket beige steering wheels are hard to find and the ones they do have are either really expensive or super ugly lol... I...

    Lateral engine alignment

    Hello all, I'm trying to align my 1996 mercruiser 5.7L with alpha 1 gen 2 after a full restoration. Everything with the transom was in spec after the rebuild... i seem to be getting heavier spline marks on the starboard side of the alignment tool... my first instinct was to rotate the engine...
