    Merc trim solenoid - potential hack for longer life?

    Thoughts welcome.... I took apart my old trim solenoids because I tested them and was getting very high resistance across the main terminals. I ordered new ones so I figured I'd investigate what the inside looked like... they are surprisingly repairable... in fact, I posted a video on my...

    Mercarb Rebuild Instructions - Video

    Hey Mods and Mercruiser aficionados... As part of my bayliner restoration video series I'm making over on youtube, I made the 1st of 2 videos covering the teardown and rebuild of a 2 barrel Mercarb. I just realized, I don't think there is anything over in the ADULTS ONLY section on carb...

    5.7l a1g2 crank ran backwards

    Hey guys... I'm I'm the middle of my 96 bayliner restoration. I got the boat last summer and promptly pulled the drive and motor to start on ripping everything out (floor, stringers, transom, etc). Been sitting covered since and today I needed to hoist it into the boat to mark and measure...

    Outdrive/Engine Stand Adapter

    So I'm not sure if this is allowed or not based on the forum rules, but I am making an adapter that goes in an engine stand that works as an outdrive stand. The idea is it will have the 6 bolts used on the alpha drives and mount to the same mounting face as the bell housing. This allows it to be...

    Alpha 1 Gen 2 Max RPM

    Is there a max RPM limit on these drives listed anywhere? I see max RPM numbers listed for all the different motors but I'm wondering if the limit is based on the motor or the drive?

    96 Bayliner 2050 - The Dirty Rotten Baystard

    Well folks... I'm in deep now. I was getting the itch (if I had only known how itchy) for a project to keep me busy so I started browsing Craigslist. It started out as me looking for a good donor boat that I could rip out a 5.7 and Merc outdrive to swap into my 95 Stingray 606. So eventually...

    Merc 4.3 Lifter/Pushrod sizes

    I don't mean to keep starting a bunch of threads but this seemed a different enough question and may be helpful to others. In doing my research on a vortec head swap, I found some information that states the camshaft base circle dimension for the intake/exhaust is different on pre-92 motors. I...

    Cam Lift Question 4.3LX

    I was reading another thread that gave the lift and duration specs of all the early 4.3 auto motors and it looks like 92-95 Vin W cam was by far the best as far as lift goes. My question is, is there any risk with too much lift throwing that cam in when I do a vortec head swap? Thanks!

    95 Mercruiser 4.3 LX Vibration Issue/Alignment?

    Hi all, Fairly new around these parts and to boating in general. I purchased a 95 Stingray 606zp with a cracked block and just completed swapping the engine with a used 4.3 that's been "marinized"... I replaced the gimbal bearing while at it and used the alignment tool before installing the...

    4.3 Engine Swap Timing Cover

    Hi all, I'm new around these parts and I just acquired my first boat, a 95 Stingray 606zp. Got a good price on it because it had a cracked block so after doing some scouting around these parts I determined my best route was to get a used 4.3 from a truck which I did. Found a low mileage 89 S10...
