    1998 Mercruiser 5.7 TBI Backfiring Under Load & Loss of Power

    I really want to see compression numbers. Rough idle in a 5.7 makes me think you're misfiring or dropping cylinders. At idle I'd also putting a timing light on each plug lead to make sure they're all firing consistently

    Mercruiser 3.0 1988

    They're gone unfortunately. For years brunswick didn't care until they realized that there was still money to be made by selling them.

    Shift cable replacement Alpha I Gen II 5.0L - cable binding

    Wonder if the housing got kinked when threading it in. The cable core should pass easily.

    I used up all my curse words yesterday

    Same, Mazda 6 for the coil packs. And of course one of them was bad out of the box.

    350 Magnum Tournament Ski spark plugs

    I'd be concerned that that's piston on your plug and you melted it. Have you checked compression?

    Spring replacement?

    Yup. Had already found that place, nothing listed. Went with TowUniverse.com. Found the spring on ebay, then went to seller's site and ordered it. Said it should be here in 2 days, we'll see. Hopefully no more setbacks.

    Spring replacement?

    Yup, these are the same people. I came across this spring already, going to call when they open on tuesday. Stupid long weekend. Also found the spring that I referenced is Lippert/Curt Mfg. They do have a local dealer network which would be ideal (if anybody stocks them, which seems unlikely at...

    Spring replacement?

    Interesting. No specs on any of the springs listed though. I'm tempted to pull the trigger on these: https://www.southwestwheel.com/p-16434-lippert-replacement-double-eye-trailer-leaf-spring-24-2000-lb-weight-capacity-125799.aspx This is the closest that I've seen, I don't see why they wouldn't...

    Spring replacement?

    Noticed that the springs on my trailer completely disintegrated, so I guess it's time to replace them. I don't know any of the specs for the trailer. The axle is 2" square, and it's 24" eye to eye with 9/16" bolts. Looked like there were 6 leafs, which seems like a lot. The boat is 19', ~2k...

    CRACK IN KEEL

    Having spent another day today doing this exact thing with the same consequences, I can second that this absolutely sucks. If my boat flips, it isn't on purpose.

    Birds in the boat . . .

    I've had a very persistent wren trying to build a nest on my platform (like I mentioned earlier that they like to do). I keep clearing it off before she finishes...

    Prep before recoat/tips to keep from repeat mistake

    I like the idea of plastic +tape. I could tape one side, get the glass up there, tighten the plastic and then manipulate it through the plastic. I might cut the 46"strip into 2. Only a couple of inches for the hole, the rest is just keel protection. Also interesting about wetting out. I used a...

    Starter issue

    A new head doesn't cost much, a junkyard head is almost free. Timewise you're on the water the next day if no block damage
