    Best Carb Rebuild kits.

    I have had really good experiences with mikes. I think his mercarb kits come with both styles of accelerator pumps and spring loaded or non spring loaded needle and seat. They also sell floats in brass and idle mixture screws if yours is balled up . Also helpful with phone and email tech support

    Twin V catamaran set up

    My brother has a early 2000s 17 ft Twin V center console with a 50 hp Yamaha 4 stroke. Apparently it was originally sold with a 35 hp and the original owners repowered around 2008 with the 50 (hull is rated for 60hp) . Issue is when wide open it doesn't seem to go as fast as he'd like and has a...

    Trim Indicator Sending unit

    I have a 2004 Alpha One with a 5.0. The trim indicator unit has a broken wire right where the wire goes into the sending unit.

    Edelbrock carbs

    I recently put an edelbrock 1409 on a 5.0 repower job. A number of you share your experience with this carb, I was wondering how well the factory finish holds up? I boat on a fresh water lake, so very little corrosion. Carb looks great now, but every mercruiser oem carb is painted black. Should...

    Edelbrock 1409 carb finish

    I recently put a new Edelbrock carb on a mercruser repower engine. Can anyone offer feedback as to how well the factory plating on the carb will hold up in a marine environment? Should I consider painting it like mercruiser does? And if I paint it do I need a zinc primer like other aluminum...
