    Finally had a chance to look at my outdrive as well as a honda 50. On the water intakes, both of them have plastic grates with a bunch of tiny scoops. I guess that's how it works. I am wondering as others suggested pressure differential comes in to play as well.

    Holt oil extractor

    As dubs283 said no need to put the hose down the dipstick tube for the boat. Put the hose on the end of the dipstick tube. Sometime you can use a garden hose adapter that threads onto the dipstick tube.

    Oil pan drain hose

    Welcome. The type of pump that removes the oil through the dipstick tube gets enough oil out that you don't have to worry about the small amount left behind.

    I thought maybe Atmospheric Pressure as well or the water was forced in through the intake. I'll have to look at the intake on my mercruiser but on one of the honda kickers it doesn't really look like water would be forced in.

    Honda BF7.5 won’t idle, so far I’ve

    These carbs are really, really fussy about cleaning. Not that this is causing your current problem but are you sure the filter is installed in the correct orientation?

    I understand it's not self priming. What forces the water up to the impeller when under way?

    Cooling System Generic Info

    A friend asked a question the other day which prompted me to ask it here. When running our I/O's or most other motors on land we always use muffs which forces the water through the cooling system. When running kickers out of the water we use muffs if possible but with some motors we use a...

    Should I replace my surge brakes with electric on my boat trailer?

    If you tow with multiple vehicles like I do then surge brakes might be an advantage as no controller's are needed. Also, some jurisdictions require a break away system. With electric brakes that means a battery on the trailer.

    Replacing my brake lines with rubber lines

    Self tapping screws will work but you will probably have to drill a pilot hole first. I usually tap the frame for 10-32 machine screws.

    What is this item sitting below my engine? Mercruiser 3.0

    To me it looks like a thru-hull transducer for depth sounder.

    What am I looking at?

    From the picture you should be able to tell which fuse goes where by the size of the internal fuse wire.

    bad interuptor switch

    If you removed the leads attached to the switch that would eliminate the switch as the problem. Easy enough to check with a continuity tester to see if the switch works or not.

    Altrenator bolts

    You sure can. As long as they are the right size, grade and material. If you have a place that specializes in fasteners their quality and selection might be better.
