    Lower shift cable-adjustment Alpha 1

    After hooking up my my shift interrupt switch and trying it out last week--it works! I found out while shifting into reverse from neutral it would stall, so today I adjusted the lower shift cable (it wasn't at exactly 6") so I adjusted it to 6" then turned the barrel 4 turns (per the manual)...

    Temp rising

    I installed a new engine recirculation pump and I noticed that my temp is reaching 220+ at times before going back to 160. I'm thinking maybe some material or something got into the thermostat not allowing it to open? All the water was drained out at the time, that's why I'm thinking maybe some...

    Water/fuel separator

    I installed my water/fuel separator and I can't seem to get fuel to the carb. I have an electic fuel pump, I did turn the key so that the pump was going-I figured it would need to fill the filter before it dispences fuel to the carb. Do I need to fill the filter full first, then start the...

    Where exactly does the 6" measurement come from? Brass barrel to the eye on the bolt where it connects to the shift plate?

    What`s This?

    After I discovered my water pump was leaking, I drained the water from the bilge and found this little plastic piece at the bottom. Sorry for the blurry pics. It`s approx. an 1 1/2" high. It doesn`t look like it was broken off of anything, but it looks like a clip of some sort...

    Mercruiser water pump

    Well, took the boat out today only to find water squirting out the weep hole on the back of the water pump. I have an '85 262ci. 4.3l V6. Can I replace with an automotive water pump or does it have to be marine? Does anyone know the part # I would need?
