    So I did my outdrive oil change last weekend. The oil was black as tar and stank. I sure was glad to get it changed. In the process I had to pull the prop off and discovered it’s an Evenrude prop. I thought that was peculiar. Does that make sense or has someone changed it at some point?

    Yes sir my next move was to break out the stethoscope. I bought one years ago to track down a chirping idle roller on a timing belt. Very handy to have. Good idea about the serpentine belt. I’ll keep that in my hip pocket for later.

    I thought this open hole on the port side of the drive seemed odd. Is there supposed to be something here?

    I noticed a whinny noise when we test drove the boat. My research lead me to do a full overhaul on the fuel pressure pump assembly and fuel pressure regulator. We took her out yesterday and it runs great, but there is still something whinny. With my ear beside the fuel pressure pump I can easily...

    Could someone kindly take a photo of the oil pressure sending unit on their 5.0? I have looked all over the top of my motor and can’t find it. I thought it was supposed to be on the port rear by the distributor?

    Yeah I finally got a manual to download from ManualsLib and in the service interval it says non serviceable or something like that. I don’t like it but that’s just what it is. Didn’t realize Merc is now doing it to. Agree it’s like motivated by the DIYers being perceived as taking business from...

    oil gauge and tachometer aren’t working. Other gauges are good. Gimbal bearing needs grease but can’t figure out how to get to it.

    Ok. I ran on the hose no problem but had to put my muffs on the drive just to keep the water from pouring straight out of the drive. Got the motor oil changed. Drained what looks like original gear oil. One big difference to the Merc is i don’t see any grease fittings anywhere! How do I grease...

    Yes I know it’s a GM engine. Just need to know if my standard garden hose will connect directly to the flush port without an adapter or something.
