    Mercruiser 3.0 = Chevy 181 CID = Small Block Chevy Valve Train? 1:65 Rockers?

    remember, the 3.0 was designed as a fork truck motor and a generator motor as a derivative from the 153 cubic inch 4-cyliner and just so happened to make a cheap boat motor

    Crownline 2007 220ex

    not really. look at all the plastic bits on the motor and used as thru-hull fittings. those only last 10-15 years. seat vinyl and foam only last about 7 years since they can no longer use arsenic as the anti-microbial the plexus joints can only flex so many times until they fail. this is...

    Port Matching

    most you will gain on a 4.3 is about 3-5hp you will gain more by simply unbolting the crappy heads and bolting on a set of vortec heads (1996 and later) and why did you post in the non-repair outboard forum?

    Optima blue top for starting?

    88 Capri Restoration (Splashed 08/2022)

    clear 4 mil plastic and a sharpie marker unroll the plastic and let sit in the sun to get rid of wrinkles then let cool. lay the plastic on the floor of the boat, see where you need to mark on it, and draw your lines if you mess up, shipping tape and a new piece of plastic

    Truck 5.7 engine into boat

    Ditch the TBI as any change will require reprogramming. and TBI is not very efficient or easy to get more HP. a simple carb would give you more power just by flowing more CFM

    Mercruiser 7.4 Starter Grinding/Partial Engagement?

    number one cause of starter grinding is bad electrical connections. not enough juice to throw the bendix then get the starter spinning. it starts spinning and lazily moves the bendix effectively turning the starter into a mill and taking out ring gear teath.

    Marine Flywheel compared to an auto flywheel

    the main cause of ring gear wear is bad contacts on the electrical side of the starter. causes the starter to spin much slower, and the solenoid not to throw the bendix out fast enough so the starter becomes a mill and machines the teeth off.
