    Bravo III duo prop corrosion

    No problem-o, the carrier is what holds the rear bearings and one of the two seals. There are two seals one for each shaft. Yes to inspect the props would need to come off. The inner nut is 2 13/16 and outer nut is 1 7/16

    connecting mooring line to chain/clip?

    The braided poly is better then the stranded stuff but its still poly, even though not as slick. Either way the best is the halyard, and the main reason is its very hard to untie once a load is placed on it. A sailors knot is is to tie and unties, hence why the halyard would be best. Its a...

    78 Mercruiser Alpha One 5.7 runs cool on muffs but overheats quickly on raw water?

    Being a 78 model I think your cooling system is probably like in the pic, unless the exhaust has been converted to newer style.

    Exhaust gaskets

    The 2 slot gasket is used to help keep some restriction above the manifold to keep them full of water. Water flows the path of least resistance and if 4 slots were used one side of the manifold would get more cooling water then the other. The 4 slot gaskets are only used when extension risers...

    6 inline temp question

    You have receipts for exhaust manifolds but in my opinion it isn't for the ones on your motor. I'm seeing some major rust on there

    Mercruiser Alpha One 3.0 L engine stalls in gear

    Yes, BUT needs to change a bit. The original design the carbs used pumice or stone type filters and the spring is on the carb side. When changed to paper or later strainers, the spring goes on the nut side. To flush line I would remove from carb and pump, then blow out with air. Would also...

    Stuck spreader pin in steering pin!

    With transom plate removed can you get a tie rod separator in enough? The issue with the separator is it can apply a lot of force and the yoke arm can take it, but the housing is cast aluminum.

    1985 Mercruiser 140 fuel problem

    OK, if you can remove the plug, but cannot remove the fitting with the fuel line on. Find out if the one which the plug was removed has a tube which goes to the bottom of the tank. If it does, install a 90 degree fitting and another anti siphon valve and attached fuel line to it. Then plug...

    '93 mercruiser 3.0l "neutral safety" adjustment?

    Its on the shift plate, just remove the wires and all it does is open and close contacts as the switch changes position. The shift plate is where the cables come to on top the motor, the switch looks like the one below. To adjust you need to have it in the center of the notch as shown.

    TKS Module Wiring

    Been trying to find a good wiring diagram to better illustrate how the TKS carb works. The TKS manual 41 is of help but not very good to visualize all the components are connected. Decided to make up a quick sketch for comment, and would like discussion on how better to illustrate. After...

    Stuck spreader pin in steering pin!

    If I understand you correctly, you have drilled the holes in the top of the transom assembly and are trying to get the gimbal ring out. As in this pic If this is the case, it would be best to remove the motor since the yoke arm will not come off, otherwise you need a chisel and heat. Be...

    3.0L sputtering and won't go over 2k rpms

    At the beginning of the vid the motor appears to be idling above 1000 rpm's? The pic below was a snap shot after that time, but still looked like it was above 1k rpm. In the pic below the trim looks like the drive is full up, is this correct? I would do a compression test, the engine appears...

    Engine swap, no voltage to gauges or ignition circuit

    Howdy Don't think the 13V is accurate unless you have the bat on a charger when measuring. In any case, look down by the starter for something that looks like this It will be mounted on the starter post. Inside this is a 90 amp fuse, and it might have been blown. The fuse inside looks...

    Lateral gimbal misalignment problem

    Don't know which way is up, but if its straight up in this pic, and this is looking at the transom, then the motor needs to go down and starboard side a bit lower then port. And the bearing has been damaged
