    Basic Android charting?

    Thought that was subscription. Reading the description I can't tell if you can still use the maps after the subscription ends

    Basic Android charting?

    Had been using Marine navigator lite for years, perfect for my needs. Doesn't seem compatible with Android 11 though, and hasn't been updated since 2016. I need something very basic: charts (obviously, and i am partial to the NOAA raster charts), gps location, and bearing. A couple of decent...

    Charging system on Mercury 25 hp

    Not knowing your serial number, I have a similar motor, electric start with a battery. I'd have to look up the parts to see if what if any difference there is, but you should be able to find an oem solution if your motor doesn't have what's necessary

    Will Any 4" 470 Heat Exchanger Fit?

    They should. Only issue would be physical space in the bilge, but can't imagine that it's that tight in there. There are probably many hx that would work, the plumbing is fairly simple

    I think I'm another story of a bad boat purchase

    As is sale with a known defect isn't quite that cut and dry. But unless you bought it from the original owner he can deny that he made the repairs. On a positive note, I had a soft spot in my deck a few years ago. Turned out to be localized to the deck and a support brace between the stringers...

    Mercruiser 3.0 oil pan gasket

    It's always a risk/reward thing for me. 1) how much would it suck if this part failed 2) could it leave me stranded if it failed/can I fix it on the water? 3) how much of a pita is it to redo the job? 4) how big of a price difference is it? Oil pan gasket for an extra $30 would fail all 4 of...

    120 Mercruiser 2.5L - No spark

    Item 8 is the coil that supplies power to the ignition system (the function of the battery on an I/o). There is otherwise a completely separate ignition system for each cylinder. 2 sets of points, that's where you need to start. Op, this couldn't possibly be further off topic. Start a new thread...

    3.7 Mercruiser, Crank no start

    Spark, fuel, compression, only thing left is timing. Double check your timing and plug order, and make sure your #1 is firing on the compression stroke.

    Mercruiser Pre-Alpha (MC1) Broken Beyond Repair... Options/Recommendations?

    Why would the coupler need to be changed if the alpha bolts on? I think I remember the spline counts were different on some early drives (don't recall if that's yoke, gear housing drive shaft, both?). Is the later style transom plate/ gimbal housing a different thickness?

    Attachments in PMs?

    Anyone know if it's still possible to send attachments via PM with the new software? Can't seem to figure out how to do it.

    First time boat owner with questions about 1998 Starcraft 1810 LX

    Exhaust tube rather than exhaust bellows. Just easier to install.

    And possibly other more expensive components in the ignition system.

    454 distributer/timing problems

    Check that the distributor doesn't have any play, worn bushings can cause erratic timing.

    Mercruiser 5.7 Temperature sensor issues

    So it looks like the icm is connected to the buzzer and sensors by the tan/Blu and yellow wires. Unclear if the if the icm uses the tan/blu as input or output, both? I also don't see the ks on there, I thought it was a separate control box

    Did you check to make sure that the weep hole is clear?

    Alpha one transom bolt question

    On my boat that bolt corroded and there was rot around the bolt holes. Engine was out, I dug out the rot, filled the holes. I was debating epoxy vs 4200, don't remember what I ended up with. I'd be concerned about a rotten transom if I found those bolts had corroded

    Does this sound normal ?

    Maybe some exhaust shutter ticking?
