    Exhaust elbow mercruiser 470 flapper and retainer

    Do my best to stay clear of questions on 470 but do think this may be easy enough for me. From your pic and it being an 1983, it appears you have the exhaust pic on the left. It also uses rubber grommets to hold the flapper in. The one on the right of the pic is for a different type.

    ACR or DVSR

    Ok with ignition, but don't plan to parallel the outputs even if it would do it, kind of defeats the purpose of the 3-bank charger. What ever I use needs to work with current design. The manual didn't list anything like diodes which I think is shown in your pic? If this is used the sense lead...

    ACR or DVSR

    Decided to remove my 3-bank isolator and leaning toward DVSR over ACR. Sent an email to Blue Sea and received no response (5 days). In review of online documentation I noticed a possible issue with the ACR over the DVSR. The ACR was unclear as what effect the battery charger would be and how...

    Any tips on cutting on new transom for the steering arm

    It's best done with the drill jig. You would use a whole saw to cut the top and a reciprocating saw to finish. Without the jig I would suggest putting the transom on and moving the arm to each side to ensure it has clearance. The "d" holes are drilled at around a 30 sum degree angle., don't...

    350Mag mpi pre-ignition??

    The mating surfaces of the intake are with in thousandths of clearance. Bothe heads are machined to meet at a specific angle and that angle also has to seal with the valley (where the cam and lifters are). The head was removed, and in the best of cases without the intake being installed it can...

    4.3 Merc Idle Issues after Impeller Replacement

    The gas line is flared and mates with the one on the carb. There is another gasket on the nut which covers the screen. If its leaking at the fuel line fitting, it needs to be removed and see if it can be repaired. Look for burrs

    1994 omc 3.0l circulation hose

    Found another pic from the model number. The hole allows water to pass and exit when the TS is closed. When closed this is a restriction but should not be enough to effect the hose, the hose should not balloon

    1994 omc 3.0l circulation hose

    As before there should be no difference in pressure when the thermostat (TS) is open or closed. Once the block fills with water and the TS is closed water just passes by and out the exhaust. When the TS opens cold water flows in pushing hot out. Your problem might just be in your TS housing...

    Gear Lube drained out of Gear Housing after removing Lower Unit

    What I think your saying is you drained the lube, and left the upper section on the boat. When you removed the lower from the upper there was more lube coming out where the drive shaft went it to the upper. If this is the case your still OK. After draining the lube the bottle will continue to...

    Weber convertion for AQ130c

    I see your issue, this will need a thin wall tube with a piece welded to it to make up the distance. May also be able to take it to a good aluminum welder and build a boss up on which could be cut down. My next question is which kit number did you buy? I have found Weber conversion kits and...

    Mercruiser 165 - Exhaust - Water Separation Tube

    Your pic Looks like the exhaust boot which goes from the exhaust elbow off the manifold and connects to the exhaust pipe which goes out thru the drive. In this pic it is connected where the OT is listed. If this is getting hot, then you do not have water going thru the motor of sufficient...

    Cost and Procedure for Replacing Gimball Ring on Bravo III

    The pins which hold the bell housing might fall out if the ring breaks like yours did. From my view it appears to have happened due to metal fatigue. The pins used to keep the side pivot pins in may have snapped because of fatigue and or torque from the drive coming off. From the look of the...

    Tamd22 MD22 Earthing Thread.. Isolated Return. 55Amp Fuse.Help Needed

    Had to go find a wiring diagram for the motor to see what your issue is. If the glow plugs are staying energized then it the first place to check would be the relay. In this pic note the connections for the contacts. The coil uses contact points 85 and 86, and the power is switched using 30...

    elbow to exhaust manifold gaskets?????

    From what I see you need two pieces which are item 18 and 19. Align the weep hole with the slot so some water and air can pass. The bottom pick shows water circulation flow and the main source of water out the exhaust comes from the thermostat housing to the elbow

    How to Drain Water from Power Steering Cooler on MerCruiser 4.3L (w/ pics)

    To make it easier next and following years you could install the Merc drain kit 861505A1 at the bottom of the hose. For those with Bravo drives another could be installed on the starboard side
