    Throttle Lever Replacement

    If it is a Bayliner it is probably not a genuine Mercury Marine control. Most likely that style is not made anymore. You may have to have it bead blasted and powder coated.

    Chevy 283 w Mallory distributor question.

    Chris Craft ran the transmission off the front of the engine so that in a twin engine set up both engines stayed at standard rotation. It may be necessary to pull the manifold with the distributor in it. Breaking it off at the manifold would not be good Maybe some heat at the base of the...

    Starter wont engage flywheel.

    On AD’s # 34 post the troubleshoot procedure refers to post “E” which provides 12v to the coil. You need to test the female side of the connector that there is 12v present when the engine is cranking mode. There may be 12v with the key on before cranking but not when cranking. So it may be a...

    What Bearing Puller?

    Starter wont engage flywheel.

    Since this is an inboard reverse entry starter are you sure that you have the correct starter for your engine’s rotation? When you first tried to start the engine with the original starter and it would not engage did you bench test it? If there is any rust build up on the starter shaft in front...

    O-Ring Re-use and/or part numbers

    I do remember those “O” rings and they sealed the hole where the bolts came through the transom. If you cannot find replacements just reuse them with some 3M 5200 or a similar compound. Also I used to just flip the large rubber rings that insulate and seal the PDS housing and never had a leak...
