    Dump Gun Use

    Like info from those who have used the 100 model dump gun. It talks about not using a 1/4 air fitting but the larger fittings will not screw in. Figure I'll need a new regulator because the one which have been using has an auto oiler on it. There was a mixing carb which came with it but maybe...

    Engine coupler saga....

    Still don't see any reason to replace the rear mounts unless they are falling apart. The engine sits on the fiber washer direct against the transom plate mounting. The rubber bushings are used to resist flex. The spring washer does the rest. So even if the mount was trashed, the engine...

    2003 Mercruiser 6.2 MPI Exhaust Manifold cracks

    That housing is for the 3 point drain system, and that system is a rats nest of hoses IMO. You could have flow problems just from all the hoses. The pic has the part number and size Thinking your problem could be in this area, if what is not going out thru the exhaust but circulating back...

    2003 Mercruiser 6.2 MPI Exhaust Manifold cracks

    While not certain I'm leaning toward lack of water. Don't know for sure but the 7.4 and 8.2 had issues with injector on cylinder 7 (3-back port side) of running leaner then the others. This was caused by the intake port was not as large as others. Not that this is the issue it may only be a...

    dimensions for tailer for 2000 Maxum 3000 SCR

    Howdy Kind of sounds to me that your buying a trailer from folks that don't do a lot of them. No expert here but most boat trailer manufactures I have talked to just want to know the year and model and they can make it. Maybe call one of the major manufactures if someone can not give you what...

    High Fuel Pressure 2008 MerCruiser 350 Horizon MPI

    Had one similar (different manufacture) used on my generator. When 12V is applied it opens, when voltage is removed it closes. The good is if working properly no fuel will leak or drain in to anything once power is removed. The bad is you have 3.8 fuel line feeding them, the fittings used...

    HELP! 8.1 Gi-G Persistent Overheating Problem

    It's not that the belt is threaded right, the water pump on a V-belt motor rotates counter clockwise which is the same as the crankshaft. On a serpentine motor, the belt wraps around the pump in the opposite direction causing it to rotate clockwise. There is no issue with this but you cannot...

    If relay is clicking and the pump is not running then maybe its the relay, need to check the contacts. Could also be the pump or the wiring going to the pump. Here is a wiring diagram
