    1985 OMC 800 stringer with 350 chevy small block

    You have a stringer. The tilt is only used to get the outdrive up. If you need to run the motor with the drive tilted up, only at idle (600 rpm). It will tear the ball gears up. The trim is for adjusting the trim of the drive. My guess this is a new to you boat. I suggest getting a factory...

    Mercruiser 5.0 TKS vs 4.3 MPI

    The 5.0 will perform great. I had one in my 2002 SeaRay 190 which weighed 3000#. I would hit 49.5 mph with 2 people. If I would have kept it, I was going to upgrade to a 4 barrel to hit low 50s

    Mercruiser 470 end of life. Need advice.

    keep in mind with the 470, if a fish swims past the intake or you run past seaweed, or anything to raise the temperature as much as 10 degrees (yes, 10 degrees), it was over heated and the motor will spit the head gasket. the problem is the open deck aluminum block and the iron head. absolute...
