    Merc 5.7 Hiccup

    have you checked the filter contents? the new fuel could have loosened up crud in the tank and plugged up the new filter could also have clogged the anti siphon valve.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Ted, I was going.... you simply pay to have a fabricator make the aluminum bracket (no mater what shape) and you have to physically do the work yourself to do it out of fiberglass.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Ted, since you would be having the fab work done externally if aluminum and you would have to build plugs/mold/parts if fiberglass, how is that easier?

    Mechanical things hate me lately

    I switched from ceramic brakes (standard offering) to semi-mets (police package) because the stopping distance is shorter. especially for the tow pig (AKA the GMC ). because of the semi-mets, the rotors will not last as long as they would with ceramic. and the wheels are no longer clean, but...

    Mechanical things hate me lately

    truck pads changed between rain storms. measured the rotors, while still 0.050 thicker than minimum in the front and 0.030" in the rear, will be getting new rotors along with extra pads for when I do the next change. no hung calipers or pins. no idea why the right rear pads were worn more...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Nida core? not sure you need the higher density if you have a thick enough core. in bending, its the outer fibers doing the load. could go carbon / fiberglass mix as well. remember, your current boat has at least 3/8" (closer to 1/2") of fiberglass for the hull. fiberglass may be heavier...

    1977 Ford 460 ignition

    yes it needs to be a marine distributor no, I personally would not use pertronix. the boat ran for 50 years with points. probably only 2-3 sets and simple maintenance to get it to last 50 years as a set of points normally last about 15-20 years in a boat before you have to replace them. you...
