    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Had the boat a month and took it for a ride today. Love the handling and power, not so much the docking, amount of helm turns and touchy digital throttle controls. I'll get use to the a steering and throttle control, will take longer for docking. Docking - use to single B3 and the B3 bites...

    1990 4.3 block and 1995 heads, which rocker tightening specs to follow?

    Been thinking about this and zero lash would not be the way to go "IF" your not using lock nuts. What about finding out the push rod length of the original and a vortec? Might be worth the change to go with rods and rockers and not worry about it. Keep same lifters

    Boating Trim - electrical problem

There is a purple/white and blue/white wires that go to limit switch. If these are connected together...

    Inboard Drive Shaft Issue I need Help!

    Don't think it's the drive or the shaft, it's the coupling alignment. IB need to be aligned to within .003 MAX Many folks that do alignments don't do it correctly

    Low fuel pressure, fuel filter half full while idling.

    WADR - Motor mount doesn't need to be removed. The bracket that holds CF module is held on by 2 motor mount bolt studs. The nuts and washers are removed which releases the bracket that holds CF module.

    Low fuel pressure, fuel filter half full while idling.

    Either need to find a skinny person or stuff has to be removed. It's a B***h but it's also a boat. Suggest start by removing the exhaust manifold. After removing clamps and pipes, remove the outer most bolts holding the manifold. Take bolt to hardware store and get about 18 inches of all...

    warning alarm wont stop beeping

    I don't know your motor, so this is just info For the alarm to sound it needs 12V (purple) on one side and ground on the other. The ground side goes to a sensor which will ground when (for example) the motor overheats. The alarm should have 12V applied when key is ON which sounds like it is...

    mercruiser 5.7 350/260hp alpha one outdrive starting issues

    Start by verifying spark, use a spark tester to verify length and color Is the gas old? Use a gas can and fresh gas and a piece of gas line into the can. Try to get all old gas out of filter and carb. Smell the gas and does it small like gas or something else?

    Circuit breaker

    I don't know, I would hope if this was posted in the Yam section one of those folks might know. If you know what size your alternator is may just go maybe 10 amps higher
