    Dodged the Ice Reaper again

    B3 outer prop shaft retention

    The retaining nut item 38 is torqued against the race and bearing item 34. Item 32 is a retaining ring which keeps the outer shaft in pace. So removing the carrier has no impact on inner or outer gears and shaft. No need to do anything except retorque

    3.0 Mercruiser LX (MCM 3.0 Litre/LX 181 CID) Starting Issues on a 1994 MAXUM

    OK, remove the fuel line at the carb and the larger nut item 6. Remove the nut and there is a filter behind it. It will either be a stone, paper of plastic screen. You can no longer get the stone type and IMO the others are better anyway. Also note how the spring is installed depending...

    Oil Filter Housing Question

    The pic in post 9 is the remote oil adapter. I also removed the center fitting because I was going to install a high flow remote filter head. For normal remote filter heads the fitting is not removed. The fitting is also not removed to just install an oil filter directly on the block. Also...

    The dreaded second battery thread

    First you have to disconnect the stereo and amp from Bat 1 (Start)and the key switch. Those items need to be connected from a feed coming from Bat 2 (House). While you can use the same ground, it is best to add additional ground wire up to the amp and stereo. Have both Bats connected together...

    Water Pressure Gauge Tubing

    Will be installing a 40 PSI water pressure gauge on the block this season. Could use the typical 1/8 OD tubing but its typically -5 to 125 degrees F, for ice maker stuff, -5 to 175F for auto stuff, and -60 to 200F for shore D:70 stuff. The shore D:70 is fairly stiff so this probably won't...
