    Prestolite to a Mando 51a

    If you look to the right of the starter in the wire diagram there is a arrow pointing to the starter relay. It is just a square relay instead of a solenoid. For some reason Volvo likes the Bosch style of relay.

    OMC Stringer remote shift

    OK, I was little confused when you posted the model as a 400. Those are the straight mechanical drives. Anytime you ever need anything for your drive platform just call it an electric shift stringer model. The upper gear housing and internals will however swap over from a 400 model should...

    OMC Stringer remote shift

    It looks like a Morse or a Marmac. Is your drive electric shift or mechanical? There are several OMC concealed side mount controls available if you google OMC shift control.

    2007 searay 240 sundeck with a 5.0L Mercruiser

    The bolts are going to be really tight. Be sure to use a 6 point wrench or socket to break them loose. The starter is about 1/2 the weight of the earlier Delco Remy type so it will not be a problem to re install the new one.

    302 ring gear replacement

    The register hole that centers the starter on Ford Marine/industrial engines is about 1/8” smaller than the same plate on automobiles. If an automobile starter is bolted on it distorts the plate and the starter drive gear does not engage the flywheel correctly which will destroy the ring gear...

    Raw water?

    I have worked on that very model. If you ever have to remove the port engine you will need to remove the manifold, front mount, heat exchanger, flywheel cover, drive coupler, flywheel, and then check in at the hospital for a transfusion. This would be a really good project for a pair of 200/300...

    4.3 engine mounted raw water pump inquiry

    Several posters on the Donzi/Bravo site that were having overheating problems solved them by going through the bottom of the hull. As already said the crank driven pumps will pull more water than the drive pump especially as some crank belt driven pumps are overdriven. While the V8 drive’s water...

    Purchasing 2nd Boat: Jet or Stern Drive?

    I was a Berkeley/ Jacuzzi dealer for over 30 years. I have owned and repaired all 4 styles of propulsion. Outboard, inboard, jet and stern drive.Needless to say there are legitimate pros/cons. I have repaired many stern drives from hitting submerged objects causing some to sink. I once had a...

    4.3 engine mounted raw water pump inquiry

    Mercruiser recommends keeping the drive impeller when using a crank driven pump and drawing water from the bottom of the hull connecting the drive pump via a “Y“ pipe arrangement. When I bought my Donzi half the blades were missing in the crank driven pump because the crank pump was pulling a...

    1989/1990 4.3 distributor

    Prestolite distributors have the point rotor lobe shaft that will rust and will wear out the breaker point rubbing block. The rest of the distributor was in good condition so it was converted to a Petronics kit.

    4.3 engine mounted raw water pump inquiry

    As Scott said the water needs to cool the upper gear housing that is getting heated from the exhaust system, the oil in the upper is getting over heated. Volvo AQ drives have a impeller on the propeller shaft that continuously circulates the oil from the lower to the upper to keep the oil cool...

    Mercruiser 3.7 (470) wont turn all the way

    The valve and seat probably have a build up of rust. Just get it running and there is a good chance that the valve seat area will clear up. If it does not then the head needs to come off. Was it hard to free up the stuck valve?

    Engine cutting out on low revs.

    As Scott posted you need to acquire some basic equipment. Also a tool to adjust the idle mixture made for Quadrajet carburetors. These can be found a most auto stores, the Thexon is my favorite.

    Ignition wiring question 72 350

    The wire from the regulator supplies regulated current to the field circuit to excite the alternator as you said. It could be possible that the regulator is internally shorted feeding current to the ignition circuit. Try disconnecting that wire. The Clymer diagram shows a volt meter. At...
