    Mercury Remote Control on 1988 Sylvan

    Sorry didn't notice your post. How you get the button out (without breaking) is move the handle forward (NOT using throttle only). Once forward the button can be popped out. Same for going back in

    Pour foam amount

    I poured my 16 ft and used 5 lb foam but don't remember just how much. Mixed up in containers and poured in thru holes in the deck. The foam came up thru the holes so all good. I think using 4 inch foam board will be an issue with the pour. The foam glues everything together and how will you...

    1992 Rinker Captiva 186

    Rinker didn't use composites that ever found in their hulls, its plywood. The hull should be ok without a cradle, the issue will be holding it up when it comes time to reinstall cap I'm thinking

    Portside hard to steer underload

    Its always harder to turn to port then starboard because of the rotation of the prop. The zinc torque tab is used to help this issue.

    2000 Mercruiser 7.4 mpi limited to 3900 rpm

    Does the beeper work, as in hear 2 beeps when the key is turned to ON? Need a scanner hooked up and get some readings if the MAP, TPS and fuel pressures stays up. What do the plugs look like after a run? Need to run for a bit then stop quick (don't idle much) then see what they look like

    Frustrated fuel

    Those O rings can get stuck and leave a thin ring behind. The new O ring may not seal because of it. The keeper pin can also be installed before the first O-ring, and if so it will leak. It needs to be installed in the groove of the line between to 2 O-rings. Your cooler didn't look to good...

    1994 Merc 5.0 2brl Carb issue when off

    Agree 7 psi is on the upper limit. Depending on what needle valve is installed (spring loaded or fixed) its most likely just a bit to much pressure. Install a fuel pressure regulator and get it down to at least 6, and 5 would work...
