    350 Mag Exhaust manifolds getting hot

    The S/N helps With open cooling you can have either 3 or 7 point drain system. The 7 point system s below uses check balls in the thermostat housing which go to the risers.

    Need some advice on what I've got

    I would believe these are older barge navigation lights. They had a long cord to run them up to the front barge on pushers, or hang along the cable towing one Now days they use long life rechargeable ones

    what diode for running anchor light switch

    The big issue is the forward current and that's 1 amp for the diode selected. The regular incandescent 12V lamp can be more then 1 amp. If your using LED then its much less. Look at the bulbs watt rating. A 15W bulb pulls 1.25 amps. Formula P=E x I P=watts E=volts I=amps I = P/E or 15/12 =...

    More 87 Mercruiser 3.0l problems. help........

    Not real sure of the location you mentioned. If the water is leaking from the riser boot (position 1), then it should be warm, but should not be leaking. Suggest get some clear hose from local hardware store and put inline with the hoses. This will show where the water is going and also not...

    The Admirals Cadillac (110K miles) thru a P0442, which can be (from what I read) a vacuum leak in the tank, lines, purge valve, vent valve or canister. Jacked the car up and looked all over the place and could find nothing which stood out. First thing to check was the gas cap. Web says the...

    2006 Mercruiser 350 BIII Hot Manifold?

    Just realized something, your first post comment of the "starboard" was meaning that this is happening on the starboard motor, NOT the starboard manifold. Thie pic posted looks like this is the port manifold of the starboard motor, correct? So water should be moving from the bottom of the...

    2006 Mercruiser 350 BIII Hot Manifold?

    Thanks for the serial number. Your not getting sufficient water coming into the bottom of the manifold to keep it cool. This can happen with either to much restriction or to little. Water being feed to the risers comes from the manifold and also a hose with a built in restriction. The...

    B3 outer prop shaft retention

    The retaining nut item 38 is torqued against the race and bearing item 34. Item 32 is a retaining ring which keeps the outer shaft in pace. So removing the carrier has no impact on inner or outer gears and shaft. No need to do anything except retorque

    3.0 Mercruiser LX (MCM 3.0 Litre/LX 181 CID) Starting Issues on a 1994 MAXUM

    OK, remove the fuel line at the carb and the larger nut item 6. Remove the nut and there is a filter behind it. It will either be a stone, paper of plastic screen. You can no longer get the stone type and IMO the others are better anyway. Also note how the spring is installed depending...
