    Is this the aluminum head 470.

    I appreciate the input. 4' hx size? Is that Exhaust manifold? And a 470 has 40 more HP than the 3L? And this is what I'd likely be replacing.

    Is this the aluminum head 470.

    So ideally probably the 4.3? What about older 6 cylinders or are there part issues for them to? The boat I have has a 4 cylinder 470 in it.

    Is this the aluminum head 470.

    Is this engine worth the trouble of installing? Or is this the one I read all over to stay away from. Like all according to the seller it runs good. In a 1989 Apollo boat.

    Outboard pod

    I have a older Sangster I’d like to put a engine pod on. I have a pod that was built for a houseboat that is 1/4” thick. I’m wondering if that is adequate to handle the torque. It would need some modification for use as a pod for my 125hp Mercury. I have a welder/fabricator lined up for the...

    Is 125 Hp ok for this boat?

    I have this 19 ft Sangster boat and wondering if a 125 mercury OB is not to big. Can’t find anything on the net or in the boat. Had a old slant six in it? Switching to outboard. Can put a jack plate on or might cut transom and make a splash well.

    1988 Evinrude 90HP

    pulled my slant six dodge engine as advised to remove my gimbal bearing. My question is after removing the engine the drive shaft pushed forward and out from rear to front. Now the bearing is in there and I’m not sure the procedure to get it out. There doesn’t appear to be any snap rings, the...

    Leak

    I'm going to look at a 20.5 ft Chapparal. It got loose from the owners dock and banged around on the rocks before he got to it and tied it up to a dock at noon. 8am the next day the stern was 3/4's full of water. They pulled it out professional mechanics did their stuff and the 80 hr engine and...

    What is this?

    My new, old, boat is basically put away hard to get at it for the winter. So I’m posting a picture of the transom and to the left of the big motor and to the right of the black cable is a round painted white fitting at the bottom of the transom. What is it and could it be my problem of taking on...

    1994 Spectrum 1850 with 90hp Mercury Force engine

At the back is the bilge hole which I had a plug in and another hole to the right of it facing...

    Compatible drives

    I have a 1993 Force 90 hp I just bought with a boat and when I got it home and dropped the drive oil, about a cup or two of clean water came out and then some nasty looking black oil. The boat hasn’t been in the water since Jan 2017 so I’m assuming my drive and prop shaft bearings are probably...
