    Mercruiser bogs only once or twice and then runs fine

    On the side of the carb you should find numbers 861448A1 , this is your carb number. It fires right up when cold and the choke doesn't move and stays open. This would mean its either hot all the time where your at, or the carb is running real rich. As Rick said, need to take the carb apart...

    Starting a Mercury 20 HP 4 stroke it won't stay running

    Ok, the motor has never run since you had it The serial number comes up as a carb model/4 stroke Disconnect the line off the fuel pump going to the carb to see if you can pump fuel (item 21) thru it using the primer bulb If you see fuel then the carb is clogged up and needs a rebuild...

    What´s the best replacement for AQ271C (or 570) 5.7 GM engine, ideally stroker?

    You can put just vortec heads on your motor without the cam change. With cam change you will get all the power that originally came with the change. The heads may have bolts in other locations so ancillary items (alternator, power steering, dip stick) may not bolt up, don't know have to look...

    What´s the best replacement for AQ271C (or 570) 5.7 GM engine, ideally stroker?

    Vortec motor has different heads and cam, and yours would accept just a head change EFI and closed cooling cost, no way to get around it. Just depends on if its worth it to you. I've spent 3 times what my boat is worth because i like the boat

    165 L6's out of the bertram. What do they need?

    Yes it would be good, but will also say it would be my guess that since both are the same number, more then likely they are marine. We just don't have access to the old Delco parts books to verify. most starts on those motors last forever. If you want to double check, find a starter rebuild...

    4.3 Oil Drain System and Timing Cover

    Good thing about draining from the pan is you get more out. It should drain faster if the oil is warmed up. Same goes with suction method, if oil is not warm it goes slow. If I pull the motor again I'll put a drain hose in, but use the suction pump to pull from it
