    Formula 272 Outdrive Corrosion?

    Howdy Yes zincs are missing and only 192 hours I would not believe. My guess is the meter was replaced just ask why. The price is about average retail, so start there and go down if you find issues like the drives. Zincs a cheap but if the boat sits on the trailer it doesn't need them. Just...

    Strange starter problem

    Only way to get a 383 is to bore a 350 and put a 400 crank in it, or take a brand new 377 (Mercruiser 350 with 400 crank) and bore it. I'm going to say that, until you tell me otherwise that you have a 2014 or 2015 377 MPI. That said, there is a slave solenoid and a starter solenoid, the slave...

    Pulling Engine, can't pull straight up.

    Would have no issue doing this myself, SBC not really that heavy, shouldn't take a lot. As for the GEN, I don't think so but I'm not there to measure. I pulled my big block out and back in and had to remove ALT and water pump prior. You appear to have more room. While mine was not under the...

    Streaming TV

    Streamed my first show from DSL to laptop to TV (SYFY show) and got caught up on a show. This got me thinking about why not stream everything, but everything is probably not available. Do like my DVR and watch shows without commercials, also can pause and rewind. There is no TV air waves...

    Pulling Engine, can't pull straight up.

    Don't need to measure just trying to get a feel where the center of the motor is. Think your going to need some kind of cantilever with enough height to clear the rear deck, or use long straps and have a lot of help to hold it when lifting and lowering. Many manufactures use cantilever...

    how to set base timing on 5.0 mpi

    It's kind of late now buy why did you remove the distributer just to replace the cap? If the cap was to be removed, you were to scribe a line on the distributer and block so it can be dropped back into the exact place where it was removed. Now that it's no longer where it needs to be is you...

    Driveway Alarm/door bell

    Been looking for a drive way alarm. Don't want it to be set off by a deer or other critter passing by. Found a couple of possibilities, but would really like a hard wired model. Drive way entrance is 250 feet away and I'm leaning toward the Dakota system, just wonder if the wire can be...

    Ever get the other guys ticket

    Going down the interstate doing 76 mph on cruise, posted limit 70 mph. I slowly easing up on a semi, in rear view see a black chevy coming up fast, so I stay put and as he passes ease over to the left lane. Never took the car off cruise, and now I'm at the rear of the semi, the chevy is at the...

    Lesson Learned: Buoyant Bumper & Floods

    I use carpet, can double or triple the thickness, but one layer against wood has never marked my boat. Could put some 1 to 2 inch thick wall plastic pipe under the carpet.

    Binding in steering or just air in lines

    Need to remove the Tiller pin to find out if it's the hydraulic ram, or the gimbal ring steering pins

    2000 mercruiser 7.4 fuel pump issue...

    Sounds like a good plan. Many have cracked the plastic housings by over torqueing. The rubber o-ring keeps it sealed well, and will last a long time. Notice I had one internal part number (Item 14) and the item numbers off from my previous posting. Just to add to clear these issues up if...

    Mystery rubber seal 12077 for gimbal housing anode

    Never installed one but from what I can find, they are used on alpha and early bravo drives which do not have the mercathode installed. If the mercathode is not installed, this seal plug is inserted to seal the drive.

    Mercruiser Horizon 5.7 temp getting high. Already replaced most cooling parts!

    Suggest start with a IR temperature gauge and see what the reading is at the thermostat housing. If reading is close to the same on the boat gauge then OK, it's getting hot. You swapped the hose out and it started running cooler but now it's easing back up. Did you remove the transom plate to...

    2000 mercruiser 7.4 fuel pump issue...

    I'm a bit suspect that one wire on the ECM was loose, it could happen, but very unusual. My thought is the relay is going bad or there is corrosion on the relay terminals. Either way glad you got it going Impeller should be changed out every 2 to 3 years and it's not that hard. Remove the...

    Installing a heater (Updated with pics)

    Something that may cause some flow issue is the hose coming from the intake goes up and then back down. Since water is only being moved by the circulation pump it may have more difficulty over coming the additional lift. They may be more flow on the other side but don't think there should be...

    Generator

    This is a tuff one, Phasor has next to nothing I can find on the web, guess if you hold all the info, you have to go back to them to get it fixed. Most all Gen's to my understanding work the same way. The armature winding is excited from voltage coming from the regulator. There should be two...
