    Good service manual ‘67 evinrude ?? SELOC ?

    makes bad toilet paper and bad fire starting material may make a good knee pad if kneeling on gravel as far as a manual goes, not worth the paper they are printed on.

    Mystery hose on Mercruiser 5.0 turns out to be AWESOME!!!

    My searay had a swivel snap connecting the drain plug to the end of the hose. never lost the plug (may have forgotten to install once or twice) and simply pulled the hose out. my Rogue has a keel drain that I use.

    1977 Baja on the cheap

    add $1500 to my estimate if you want to make the metal flake shiney. the plate on the transom means the transom is rotten

    Checking for rot

    youre going to find lots of moisture in the transom and the stringers supporting the motors. SeaRays of that vintage are notorious for it.

    Flushing port on 2012 VP 300 C-A

    No, it doesn't You must drain first. PERIOD You will never generate enough heat to open the thermostat and your block will still be filled with water even if you ran 250 gallons of AF thru the motor Pull the hoses, pull the plugs, drain the water
