    Mercruiser 3.0 MPI - Is this the engine block? Is that rust bad?

    Agree, it's fine. Low quality control at Merc is reason it's rusting. The rust will not effect the motor. You could use a wire brush and get as much off as possible, then prime and repaint. If you go to dealer they will do similar at maybe $100 an hour or more

    2007 mercruiser 3.0 Rust by the looks of it on side of block cover

    Good, your SN is 0W607592 The hose would go from the valve cover fitting to a tang on the flame arrestor. Can see in pic of the like, the hose just slide over the tang and then motor sucks in the vapors when it's running https://www.mercruiserparts.com/863200-arrestor-flame

    2007 mercruiser 3.0 Rust by the looks of it on side of block cover

    Could use your motor serial number to make sure That hose normally gets connected to under the flame arrestor or right next to it. The motor sucks in air and the oil vapors get sucked in and burned. Looking at your flame arrestor it looks like it needs to be cleaned, it's looks black If you...

    Fuel pump doesn't pump

    Guess it's how you look at it. Web is saying vacuum pulses, your saying pressure pulses, and my original comment was thinking the same thing like a lawn mower. Either way thanks

    Fuel pump doesn't pump

    I the pump mounted in the correct position? Reason is my 125 has one pump and could be mounted "I think" higher and it would fit but hole doesn't go thru to exhaust. My 140 uses 2 pumps and there is a pump mounted in both places. Would need to go to the shop and look to verify

    1976 Montego 16- The "Free" Puppy

    Lets get some additional opinions but mine is a pinless meter is not much good on a boat. It has to read thru fiberglass and that doesn't work very well. Need one with pins and pins need to make it thru the glass

    Caddy XT5 Towing Capability

    Wife has the 2023 XT5 with V6, AWD and I like it. Don't tow anything with it and the 6 to 4 cylinder doesn't happen very often even without towing. My guess is it will never do it towing. It has to be on flat pavement and coasting for the most part. It won't go to 4 even going down hill I...

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    One forward and two back. Thought about mounting it in the head behind the helm but this will require me to drill about a 3/4 inch hole. Would need to go thru 2 walls (Helm and Head) with maybe 3/4 to 1 inch space between. Mounting it under the helm doesn't look good and the cable has a 90...

    1976 Montego 16- The "Free" Puppy

    Drilling is done on the inside using about 1/4 bit with tape on it so you don't go to deep Not being able to get to the transom makes it bad

    Silenced .300 Blackout

    It is amazingly quite but don't understand the $350 part. The gun can be had for $350 but add a suppressor and the $200 class 3 stamp and your way over that, unless you already have one

    Do GG Schmitt's L5T... telescoping over-platform ladders with links hang at an angle?

    The ladder is installed so the uprights lead against the swim platform. The platform is what keeps it tilled out and doesn't just fold under
