    Mercruiser 5.7 identification

    You should be able to change the thermostat housing to part number 806235A1 as seen below. The riser may or may not have the ports. If they do have the ports, then just use the plugs which should be provided to seal them off. You want gaskets which have slots in them to allow water to pass...

    Mercruiser 5.7 identification

    Cooling system is correct for the year, and the 2 ports were closed off because of flow thru risers. Could also change the thermostat housing to newer style

    Swapping Alpha Gen 1 for Gen 2 on a 3.0L

    No Bondo says you only need to replace the bell housing. My comment just dealt with the spacing of the Gen 1 to Gen 2 I think it would be best to change the entire transom assembly. Changing the bell housing only, you will either need to block off the lube bottle fitting, or install the lube...

    Steering lever crumbles in my hand....Freshwater boat...really??

    I think there is more issues then the steering arm by looking at the other issues of corrosion. I would pull the motor, and be looking for another transom assembly just in case Also don't think this is a fresh water boat

    They tie to one another and also drop their anchor a short distance (very short) then back in. These boats have thrusters front and rear.

    2000 5.7 gsi problem

    The pump whining can be from it going out, sucking air, or running a bit dry. So if we know the pressure is failing off, then we need to back trace to see if its the HP pump, or the stuff supplying the HP pump. If I remember correctly, think yours is a TBI system. If so need to find one of...

    Chrysler 105 and 125 combo Maybe

    The gasket has a lot of silicone all over it, along with what appears a mouse had a nest. The shaft is corroded down low, so will sand that off before taking the pump apart. Placed the prop shaft straight up and letting is soak with PB Blaster. Once my new fuel line comes in I'll connect a...

    Volvo penta fires but does not start

    Need to find out if the fuel pump is not running when the motor is cranked over. There is a fitting used to check pressure at the TBI. This is attached inline at the TBI and a gauge can measure fuel pressure. Can also put a meter on the fuel pump wires and see if the pump come back ON Also...

    Intermittent starting issue

    I would guess its probably the slave relay. You hear a slight click, not a louder one like coming from the starter, and no good. They go out every so often and don't cost that much. Its on top the motor and has 4 wires on it. Mercruiser part number 89-96054T 2 larger wires - Red/Purple and...

    cool fuel

    The fuel is cooled by using raw water being pushed thru a brass tube which contains smaller tube carrying fuel. Your fuel module looks like the one below, even though it is for a TBI Water flows thru the area (g) pump is (d), and there is a short loop of tube inside (g) before it goes thru (i)

    cool fuel

    The next gen of cool fuel from yours is where the paint issue came from The vapor lock issue does happen with your model (has happened to mine) and is caused in hot weather. There is a fix but if your not having issues might not need to change

    Chrysler 105 and 125 combo Maybe

    Back in 2015 I picked up a Chrysler 105 Conqueror with a 105 hp OB. Well the OB had a cracked block so could not use it. Frank mentioned before his passing that I should look for a pre 1994 Force 120 hp and swap the cowling. In looking I found what I thought was a 140, but might just be a...

    Bilge pump float switch install

    A bilge pump should be hard wired direct to the battery thru the float switch. The switch at the helm should only be there to run it in manual mode. In the pic below the switch supplies power to the pump from the helm for manual mode. The alarm can be a light or sounding device, but not necessary

    Alignment made so easy, Should have tried sooner

    Short answer but long story, but if Ya don't want to read it go to the bottom I bought the Merc part 91-863372 a couple years ago and never used it. I managed to get it real close without it so (thinking to my very Naive self) , said self "your good, no need to get the tool" and moved on. The...

    2000 5.7 gsi problem

    If you have at the coil and unsure at the plugs, then this doesn't need to be confirmed so much. But if your unsure of the coil also, then suggest getting a remote starter switch. You can turn the key ON, then use the remote to crank over the motor. Culd also use a screw driver to jump across...

    Volvo Penta Overheating

    Since the impeller shreadded, I would ask did you find all the pieces? If this is unknown, did you back flush the cooler and look inside to see if things were hung up? Is this a fresh or salt water boat?

    Looking for Delphi Numbers

    Anyone have a listing of the Delphi numbers which correspond to MEFI numbers? Have a MEFI 1 and always thought it came from my old motor, but just did notice the Delphi number is for a 350. Not that this is an issue because its my understanding that they can all be reprogramed. Did call AZ and...

    VelvetDrive Transmission leaking fluid from dipstick

    I doubt it, and probably because it was analog and when motor was installed then didn't change/add/replace the sensors in the trans. The cooler would need to be removed and flushed out with something like diesel, then reflush once clean with Dexron There is a drain plug in the bottom of the...
