    Fuel Leak

    The Regulator might but only if its blown and then it would do it all the time. The needle and needle seat is the weak link and has greatest possibility of causing the problem. It might be the float but these days IMO it doesn't happen very often and like the regulator it wouldn't work and not...

    Fuel Leak

    I think what your seeing is coming from the VST. In link below note the fitting on top left of the tank cover. This should have a tygon tube connected and going somewhere. When you see fuel see if fuel is in the tube https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/32557/11848/95

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    The MSRP came in at 295K (Merc 250 varado) and initial estimate was 243k for new but has not been able to talk to Chap distributor yet. All the boats went up in 22 because of low rates and such. With rates going up the and inflation folks are wanting out more. In 21 with covid going on could...

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Its a double wide seat so for 2, and if you don't get the pivot Capt seat, then there is enough room for 3. Here is the used one in Michigan I'm looking at https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/2021-chaparral-280-osx-8491554/ Called the local Chap dealer and I'm getting a price on new to compare

    2001 honda bf130

    Don't know for sure, but would say if that was on a Mercruiser it would be tygon tubing and runs between the carb and fuel pump. If the fuel pump diaphragm starts leaking it sends the excess gas into the carb

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    The new Yam 200XCA is a 4 cyl and bit over 100LB lighter then the Merc Verado XL, both use DTS controls and helm Go figure none of them have a VHF installed

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Have looked in Chaparral 280 OSX in 4 locations. I like the one in Canada do to 250hp and Merc, the rest all have 200 Yam's but less hours. Maybe come spring I may have a Chap

    Power Trim Control Panel

    Since you do not have the 3 button on the dash I would ignore it, but to advise how it works: Up is trim up Down is trim down To bring the drive all the way UP for trailering you would push Up and up/out at the same time. The 2 buttons are used together to make sure the drive is not trimmed...

    Ignition sensor help

    Looks aftermarket. Assuming it works, the Black should be grounded to the block. Connect the other 2 to your leads

    Asking But Don't think anyone knows

    Yes, still looking I think a 27 would be good enough, but thinking about the 29 Maybe a used 270 with a 8.2 which would have CAT's and pull motor from my cruiser and install in it. 500+ HP in a 27 bowrider Weeee

    Asking But Don't think anyone knows

    I might have figured it out, Ilmor is listed as joystick control with the 5.3 the 6.2 is not, and there is the twin thing. Its the most expensive but most of the new 290's with Merc package is joystick but its not mentioned

    Asking But Don't think anyone knows

    ILMOR makes a 6.2 430HP and 5.3 365HP So why is the 5.3 cost more then the 6.2? Seeing this on Formula website

    Adding a Temperature Gauge

    Being a Merc look for a Tan colored wire, if not there will need to add one. The typical 10 pin harness has all the wires listed
