    Hydrolocked in the parkinglot

    I think you have the drive shaft bellows on backwards. Could also be the reason when tightening the clamp that it kept sliding off

    Replace or Repair, where to start?

    It shouldn't be hard to turn but new seals does make it a bit harder. Rotate the shift foot to a point where the prop locks in the counter-clockwise direction. When the prop locks the shift foot should be facing straight forward. Once there, the lower can be put together with the upper

    1972 L6 remote controls need wiring repair

    I would slop some lithium grease where ever it moves/slides. Won't hunt to go overboard, but just the same I wouldn't go overboard. So far as the friction point, I don't know if it has one. It should stay easy enough because carbs don't have return springs

    Charging voltage drop with diode isolator

    Probably didn't come that way because it had the relay box on top the motor. The box stopped working or didn't work very well, and then the isolator was installed

    2nd wiped Camshaft OMC 460

    My thought is the one lifter is not getting enough oil. Oil drips off the lifter to the lobe. Did you deep clean the block?

    Do these annodes look like they need to be replaced?

    ^^ Don't agree Thread locker should not be used because, anodes need to make electrical contact to work (even though not needed in this case), and screws have been know to break off with even a small amount of corrosion build up (don't need to possibly make it worst)

    Adding Joystick to Mercruiser DTS Boat?

    Thanks for the update Similar to what we hear about a guy wanting to make a boat faster. In most cases its cheaper to buy a boat which goes the speed they were looking for, then try to make a current boat go that speed

    Is this an OEM Carb Kit?

    Hard to say but looking at the inner box it looks the same as the Amazon one being sold by Leaders rpm. Leaders is not a Merc dealer so it may be OEM new old stock, or Walker in a box with OEM label. I don't remember (memory is getting worst) seeing a Merc/QS part with another manufactures...

    2017 115 4 Stroke Mercury outboard

    When the cover is off, does it idle at the same rpm as before, when this was not an issue? Want to know if there is something like the IAC Can you give it a slight bit more throttle and keep it running?

    Volvo penta dps-a prop seals

    You might get away with it, all depends on why the seal went bad. If it was time and everything is put back together the same, would be worth the try. If there is play in the shafts then I would tear it down The manual list tear down because when it comes apart its best to check everything...

    Leaking fiberglass livewell

    Have not used it, and while it may seal, the question is will it last? What about ruff it up and put another layer of fiber glass?
