    Power trim check valve?

    I would see this as the cylinders needing new seals. Fluid is leaking past the piston in the cylinder. Rebuild the cylinders is fairly cheap and easy enough

    Trim cylinder rebuild - stripped threads on fluid line connection

    Depends on how damaged the threads are, we cannot see what your seeing Not seeing a pic being able to reshape threads, maybe the correct tap could, but it would need to start the cut exactly like it needs to. Post a Pic and maybe we can advise @Rick Stephens

    Quicksilver ?

    If (always a IF) you need a new bearing Sold my 1995 boat this year and still had original bearing in it Put your fingers in the current bearing and if its still smooth, put some more grease in it and continue using. If its ruff, replace

    Mercrusier 350 MAG MPI - RPM issue under a load

    The ECM controls the motor based on inputs from sensors. If you open the throttle 3/4 then the ECM says you want 3/4 power. The TPS was not opening all the way, so motor is not getting full power. The MAP vacuum is not going to near zero so ECM says things agree, 3/4 throttle and 3/4 power...

    Mercrusier 350 MAG MPI - RPM issue under a load

    The TPS should be 4.5V at WOT. Disconnect the linkage and see if you can get it to increase. If it will go up to 4.5V then check into the throttle linkage as to why its not moving that far

    A ghost is stealing my anchors...

    Might be something as simple as a small stick, rock, some grass or weeds in the mud. As its dragged along its pressed open just enough so when the rode starts to come up it slips off. No way of knowing without watching I lost an anchor with similar type hook a whole bunch of years ago. It...

    A ghost is stealing my anchors...

    Snap hook and anchor do not go together. Takes very little to press in on the snap and release the anchor. If you don't want to store the anchor where the rode is, then just use the screw pin shackle

    help with iffy gas?

    For the most part, once gas starts going bad, adding fresh to it just makes more bad gas. All the additives IMO are sales gimmicks, other then things like Satbil which is used before it goes bad Differing opinions will be along shortly

    Recommendations for cleaning bilge?

    Use some dawn and sprary more water in. Let it slosh around some and drain it back out. Might need to do it a few times. Rag on a stick might help get the hard to reach spots

    2015 Mercruiser 4.3L TKS - Engine stall after 30 minutes; Unable to restart at 1/4 throttle

    Having it at the shop I'll assume they had it running on a hose at idle and it did ok? Need at least 1/2 throttle and later would idle, I would lean toward the carb was flooding. Might have had a spec of crud in the needle seat and it sitting for some time, it dislodged and starts working ok...

    The question is, Does the carb throttle plate move full open when the throttle handle is moved full forward?
