    transom replacement Chrysler

    Use CSM (chop stran mat) with polyester resin. Using 2 pieces of 3/4 plywood and bond the 2 together using CSM and resin Some use corebond to bond the wood to the transom prior to covering and tabbing with CSM. Some just mix a thick resin and CSM to bond plywood to transom (what I did)

    Perko switch question (1 engine 2 battery)

    Best to have ring terminals on Bat cables on a boat. Terminals should be crimped and then sealed. No soldering because if cable gets hot it could melt the solder and pull out Below uses an ACR

    Inconsistent bogging/acceleration until it hit around 20mph - Mercruiser 5.7l

    You need a new mechanic Don't see bogging being the fuel pump, the carb either has enough fuel or it doesn't. Checking fuel pressure can always be good to know, but I would suspect carb Heads been removed twice so things could have gone wrong. Hope the head was checked for flatness prior to...

    Overheating

    The HE doesn't look like the typical Merc design. The older design used 2 hoses coming in from the Thermostat housing to the front of the mans and 2 others coming back from the rear of the mans. I'm seeing what appears to be 3 hoses (maybe more) connecting to the top tank

    Overheating

    With the overflow filling I wonder if you have a blown head gasket Post some pics of the motor hose routing to help me understand how its connected. I'm looking at manual 2 and want to compare

    2003 Mercruiser 350 Mag MPI - No start

    The HVS dizzy has a "very small" spot where it will fire correctly. Original versions of the ECM it could be moved about an 1/8 either side if the motor was experiencing a misfire. There is a bulletin out for this and another of how to get it exact. The dizzy also has a reluctor wheel (your...

    Mercruiser 3.0 Delco EST ignition module hell

    Don't know for sure but my thought is there is a lot of junk parts out there. Anyone can print up a dox and label making it look like the real thing. I got some crap parts from rockauto that said genuine GM for the car. After taking car to the dealer, they replaced the same part and now it...

    Mercruiser 165 riser elbow plug

    Might think about drilling small holes in 4 corners maybe 3/16. Look and determine what would work best. The use a large bit to connect the holes. Basically trying to mak it square thru hole. Use a file, drimmel or other to square it off. See if drive can be inserted. Not heat it up slowly...

    120 Mercruiser 2.5L - No spark

    If the switch is bad or mis-adjusted it can kill the motor about anywhere. It can also keep it from starting, similar if there was a bad Tach. Disconnecting the switch will keep the motor from going into neutral "only when in the water" A intake manifold leak can also cause poor running and...

    120 Mercruiser 2.5L - No spark

    It was able to start back up and now it doesn't. Something is getting worst. The points might be closing up if the screw wasn't tight enough Did you ever run a compression test?

    120 Mercruiser 2.5L - No spark

    Measurements are correct, needle and seat are clean and pressure is 4.5 psi but it still leaks. Doesn't make sense unless the float is to heavy Yes, you could set the float to shut off sooner.

    Heat will help but you would probably need acetylene or map gas to get enough heat

    2003 Mercruiser 350 Mag MPI - No start

    I think you mean it has the body from a 6 correct? It does have a 8 cylinder cap? When installing the distributor, number 1 must be at TDC and the rotor must point at the notch Having spark previous, have you check fuel pressure? Should be 43 psi at the rail 2 beeps a minute can be several...
