    Tuning Up 5.7L

    Embarking on my first tune-up for my boat after some challenges trying to keep it running. In another thread, I detailed my engine cutting out after warming up. I've owned the boat 10 years and have done nothing to the motor. I do not know when a tune was last done to this boat. Below are...

    5.7 Merc Stalling after Warm-up

    Just got the boat out after two years (winterized with 30 gallons of fuel drained before starting) and the first time out, motor died while moving slow for extended period. Had warm temp and replaced impeller and t-stop. Temps are good now but after running for awhile, stopping for 30 minutes...

    Trying to Identify Parts

    Re: Trying to Identify Parts Yes that's a nice tool, but I used my Cub Cadet tool to get the seal out. After struggling with a couple of different tools, I grabbed this off my snowblower. Took all of 5 seconds to get it out. Thanks!

    Addressing Overheating Issue

    In another thread I reference a couple of issues with my '88 Sea-Ray Sorrento (21' with 5.7 carburated motor and Alpha 1 outdrive) and I'm gonna start different threads for each. Seems like the motor is running hotter than what has been normal for this unit. Typically about 145 no matter what...
