    Thru hull leak

    The transom assembly is 2 inch thick. Use a small drill but (1/4 inch works well) and put a piece of tape around bit about 1/2 from tip. Drill from the inside down low at the transom. If wood comes out dark and wet, the wood needs to be removed. Can repeat this every 1 to 2 inch to see how...

    Opinion: Had the top pic installed on my 95 Formula and never had an issue with it, it's well made. Did replace the trim switch a few years ago

    Fuel dumping in 5.0 cobra 1994 mechanical pump, not electric.

    Don't change plug heat range nor gap. Increasing gap will cause fuel to burn faster. If it burns faster then preignition can happen. Preignition will destroy your motor pretty quick

    4.3 Mercruiser fuel supply issue

    Understand, sometimes it's just to much for me also. If there is room, small bottle jack to lift that side of the motor just enough to remove the the motor mount. Or if you have a hoist

    snapped driveshaft Mercury 2011 150 Optimax

    The coming out of the water is what's doing it. The offshore racers has a dedicated throttle man, he pulls the throttles back every time a prop rev's increase above spec. Even those guys will break things when the props rev up and then hit the water again

    Mercruiser 5.7 MCM carb low idling

    This should not happen. The temp switch should stay closed and pass current when motor is OFF. The current only stops flowing when the motor cools down.

    Mystery Knock -- Insurance and Warrantee

    The oil temp will always be hotter then water temp. So long as temp stays below 300* it won't burn and still lubricate Most small block won't have a oil cooler on them and big blocks do.
