    Breather hose

    I don't have the part number off hand, but there's nothing magic about it. Get the diameter, go to the auto parts store and get a length of whatever.

    You'd be better off actually troubleshooting the problem rather than throwing parts at it and wasting your time and money...

    When reading about your port/std markings, was wondering if the b3 twins counter rotate, or if the 2 props make that unnecessary

    Boat swamped, let's see if we can get it running...

    1989 5.7 350 Mercruiser ignition replacement help - possible upgrade to DUI unit

    When it's running rough put the timing light on each wire and see if it's firing regularly. What's the timing advance plug?

    New to Mercruiser have 1994 3.0 LX Buzzer intermittently sounding H2O Temp & Oil Press gauges normal

    Disconnect one at a time the temp sensor and oil sensor to see if either/both are sounding the alarm. They're different from the gauge senders

    In general, start your own thread. But you're fine.

    Lot more new boaters and large wakes?

    If pimpin was easy, everybody would do it.

    Lot more new boaters and large wakes?

    What can I get with a $4k boat? I'm getting older, balder, fatter, but haven't quite ticked all the boxes yet.

    Am I missing a step in gear lube swap?

    Wow, do you have one of those hats with the straws? BTW, while filling the gear lube the other day, I finally counted the number of pumps it took: 350. You're welcome.

    2007 4.3 Trim relay clicks, no start.

    Shouldn't be any power to the relay with an open NS switch, so no click.

    NEW TO BOATING, NEED HELP!!

    no, buy the plugs anywhere. After breaking off a horribly rusted NGK, I've started using the AC delco MR43LTS, since they have some sort of rust proof alloy.

    2007 4.3 Trim relay clicks, no start.

    That looks like just a standard auto SPDT fuel pump/whatever relay. But problem could be with the starter, starter solenoid, wiring. Go through the troubleshooting first in the stickies. Or don't, it's a $5 part that takes 30 seconds to swap...
