    01 Mercruiser 5.0 seems to have lost Horsepower

    New to you boat should have had some maintenance done. Fuel filter, impeller, check the plugs and cap. Drive alignment check, etc, etc Remove the fuel filter and dump the contents into a clear jar to see if there is only clean gas. Agree, pull some plugs and check that the wires are attached...

    Seawater Pump Rotation?

    Your correct, the impeller was installed in the wrong direction. Remove and reinstall The pump can run in either direction but it would take a reverse rotation motor for the way it is now

    Anchor Upgrade...need Real World Reviews

    With basically soft stuff I would suggest what you have or a plow anchor. The fluke/Danforth needs to be set first. Drop, pay out and back up until it hooks. The plow/Delta will go deep and hook but also needs to be set. Go up to a 20 pounder, your chain is good, and adding more will only help

    Carb or worse?

    Thermostat also keeps the block/heads full of water. Without it air pockets can form

    Temp switch went off - overheating engine?

    Nothing is consistent, I would take a IR temp gun to the thermostat housing to see what temp is Has the drive impeller been changed?

    Guides for a round framed trailer

    There are clamps with teeth to keep it from slipping, but could drill a hole and bolt, or have it welded

    alignment tool drill hole position?

    Several have been sold but I don't like them. Maybe someone will advise but my thought is find a rod that will just go in with a shoulder. Having the alignment bar inside the coupler for me is a bad idea. Only way this would work out is if the coupler was perfect alignment. You could measure...

    Crankshaft damper

    Soak it with PB Blaster or penetrating oil for a few days, then use a ouller. Can probably get a loaner at a local auto store https://www.summitracing.com/parts/oes-27019

    anodes

    Been looking around and I'm unable to remember if the one on my Formula had a bonding wire on the garboard, but don't think it did. Would be easy enough to do, use a machine screw in one of the 3 holding it, and attach wire to the inside. There are some (not a lot) write ups on other forums...

    Gen VI 502 in a 1991 gen V boat oil cooler lines

    The oil filter connection should be the same for both blocks. The filter unit can be taken off and moved with the rest of the stuff. Don't leave the shut off plate on the block, you need a filter, and the 502 needs an oil cooler

    IAC whistle ??? Merc 7.4L MPI

    Kenny don't think his has the foam piece. His serial number 0F802036 doesn't show one. The flame arrestor item 36 has some filter media between 2 wire meshes. https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/31924/2342/14 It does sound like an IAC issue or throttle plate hanging. Might be...
