    Where does the hose go?

    it attaches to the airbox as stated. It goes to the carb and the vacuum sucks any residual fuel back to the motor and burns it up. Otherwise it would drip fuel into the cowl and make a mess or by chance cause a fire.

    Posible oil and water mix in mercruizer sterndrive

    I’ve found that the drain screw gaskets will let water in. Replace them at every service with the paper gaskets. I had those yellow one before and they didn’t seal well.

    Mercruiser 3.0 won't throttle up

    Is the choke hooked to any springs, Or the heated element? Just a thought this morning. If it's floppy it could be slamming shut when throttling up and loading with fuel.

    Mercruiser 3.0 won't throttle up

    Start With the basics. Is there water in the fuel? Are the filters clean? Choke should be open when warmed up. Have good spark? Check the dizzy cap for corrosion. Was it ok the last time you used it and, how long did it sit till you used it now? Is it a points distributer or electronic?

    Won’t Start in the Water

    Yes, mark the prop with a dab of paint or a sharpie across the inner hub to the outer hub/blade area. When you put it in the water and try to go but it doesn’t, check those lines you put on the prop. They should still line up, if not it has slipped the hub. as esgwheel said, sometimes his...

    Installing Bravo3 Sterndrive

    Yo much grease on the o-rings can do that. It basically causes a hydro lock situation.all you need is a light coating just enough to lube the ring and not get it into the groove. It’s not going to hurt anything to try a mercruiser kick at this point. If you already have the drive back off, clean...

    Won’t Start in the Water

    How long are you charging the battery? Usually it takes a deep charge after being low. As a side not my friend always put new batteries in his camper every spring as they wouldn't hold a charge. He left it at my place for a week once and just for giggles I charged them up for him. He asked me...

    Top deck teak ladder

    is it totally rotted or bad cracks in it? I’ve repaired some that were in a bit of rough shape. As long as you can snug up the screws, if not drill out where the screws go and put in dowels and re-attach. I’ve gently pressure washed it and it comes out fairly good, and a bit of sanding. Edit...

    How about another picture of exactly where the transducer is. If to far out it’s grabbing air from the edge of the boat.
