    new GM 5.7 engine holes near oil filter

    A is a blind hole, no worries B might be the water jacket, but may be another test port for oil. I would remove the plug below it (oil pressure port) and use that plug and install in B Can find out if its oil before firing up. Your going to use a drill to pre oil the bearings before starting...

    1995 Stingray 4.3L Mercruiser No Start

    The impeller is toast. Running it in a bucket the impeller was able to move some water but not enough. It started to burn because seeing the 180 temp. Shutting it down before it got hotter kept from blowing the head gasket.

    Fuel System questions for Mercruiser 260 EFI Conversion

    Instructions from Holley state to place pump within 2 ft of sending unit, but this is because everything is based off the auto industry. Use Type A1 fuel line for all connections from tank to pump. You will have the tank antisiphon valve (barbed fitting on top of tank), to the 20 Mic filter...

    5.0 Mercruiser Cutting Out While Underway

    The issue is electrical. Motor cuts out and back on wouldn't be fuel. Being electrical it can be a bad connection ground or hot side, key switch and pretty much anywhere there may be corrosion. There have been a lot of trouble with the 2 wire modules and this is why Merc changed it. No one...

    new GM 5.7 engine holes near oil filter

    WOT Issue (Maybe?)

    WOT Issue (Maybe?)

    Boat gauges are almost always not accurate. Changed prop from 19P to 20P and now your getting 4900 rpm. Even though a stainless prop blades are thinner, going back to 19P will increase the rpm some. The change will not get it back to 5800. Note: for future reference, if any motor is reaching...
