    2003 Bayliner 3.0 Mercury mercruiser grease fittings?

    If it looks like the fin on the upper ones (A & B or E) then this is normal. This is used to reduce torque steer on your boat.

    New boat new to outboards....be gentle.

    The first link I posted is your breakdown and exploded view with part numbers. Just select one of them and you get the brake down something like this I send a message to Fun Times hoping he will come and advise on the ratio. He has the ability to look things up that we don't. I'm sure...

    2003 Bayliner 3.0 Mercury mercruiser grease fittings?

    The ones shown here are your gimbal and hinge pins. Give the gimbal 2 to 3 pumps, the hinge pins just push a bit in and you should see grease start to show in the opening between the two halves. There is one on the other side (port) and it doesn't need much. Your noise might just be the hoses...

    Pontoon doggie ladder advise

    Yes it floats, but it needs to have something to press against for a dog to use it. Just like a ladder you would use it needs a method of hold the bottom of the ladder for the load. There are fold up brackets which fold out and lock in place. When done it folds in half and all the braces and...

    Pontoon doggie ladder advise

    If you have kids going on and off quite often then you either don't want to do this, or maybe get another people ladder. Due to lack of room I was unable to fully attach the Dog Ladder (DL), but you should get the idea. Removed everything that came with it except the cross bar. Drilled two...

    Installing Fish Finder

    The upper left does appear that it could be used as the Ground Buss, and also agree it does not appear to have a wire on the ground lug. To use the GND Buss it will need a wire going back to ground and/or negative side of battery. Also recommend it is a ground buss. Do this with circuits on...

    Need someone to bless my wiring diagram Please.

    Being this is an outboard and your house connections and not a battery then I will agree to the common terminal. I still would not agree to connect one 12V battery to terminal 2, reason being it can damage your alternator. It could do the same to a changer trying to charge a 36V system using...

    Need someone to bless my wiring diagram Please.

    Don't connect your 36V set of batteries to your battery switch. Connecting the house bat to the Common (C) terminal does not allow it to be disconnected. Connect the house battery to terminal 2. Use an onboard charger to recharge your 36V batteries. They way it was previously connected it...

    Rifle Scope Repair

    Anyone ever have a rifle scope repaired? Have a 3x9 Bushnell on my 22mag and the scope has to be moving. Wish I would have thought of it sooner. Bought the scope and use to be able to hit about everything I wanted to with iron sights. Installed the scope and off and on kept trying to zero...

    Mixing Battery Types - Which charging profile to use on the onboard charger?

    I would not mix Gel with Lead acid or AGM. Mixing lead acid with AGM can work, but IMO there is no way it will work correctly with Gel

    72 Thunderbird Formula w/twin 165hp Mercs

    Buss bars are the way to go and they come in all sizes and shapes. Here is my Formula and it has a main ground buss bar for all the battery cables, which then goes to the Engine block. Directly above it on the left is a smaller one with a 10AWG wire connecting the two. All local grounds are...

    Vibration issue after engine replacement on MC1 drive to 351W only under throttle

    Appears (from my view point) you have only one belt and it is used for water pump and alternator. Alternator appears to be in lower left corner. I would guess from the pic that you don't have a belt driven pump and the water intake from the drive is directly above the Alt but behind the...

    Vibration issue after engine replacement on MC1 drive to 351W only under throttle

    I take it because you said "heat exchanger" you have closed cooling with and have an external seawater pump (item 11) that is belt driven. If this is the case connect you water hose directly to the seawater pump inlet, or attach the hose somehow to the drive bell housing inlet hose. Now if...

    Help! VP 8.1 HO fuel pump not priming when the key is turned on. No Audible beep.

    Need to keep reminding my self this is a VP and I'm not real clear of everything on the VP motors, more a Merc guy. According to the diagram I found on the GXI there are 5 relays, 3-standard and 2-different. The fuel pump I controlled by one of the others (R4). See the image below Sorry...

    5.7 Mercruiser EFI, idle after warmup quits engine
