    Bravo Gimbal Ring Repair

    What do you guys think of this repair? Shims are made of stainless hose clamps. Steering pin is quite snug going in with zero play. Once the bolts are tightened, it should never come loose again. I think it's as good as new. :)

There are already multiple sets of speakers, sub-woofer, 2 additional amps, a 6 pack CD changer, and a remote...

    2003 240HP EFI Jet Boat

    Hi guys, I have a 2003 Mercury jet boat I'm working on with a 240HP EFI 2 stroke, that has no spark on any of the 6 cylinders. A scan shows "ECM-TRIG OPEN" for all 6 cylinders.

    Vapour Lock?

    A friend has a pair of 1993 7.4 Crusaders in a cruiser. One of the engines is giving him trouble restarting if it is hot. Both engines start fine from a cold start, and will run just fine all day long. If he stops for 15 min or so after a good run, the starboard engine will not restart. Port...

    89 20HP Outboard

    I have a friends 1989 Merc 20HP outboard here that will only run on the top cylinder. There is no spark on the bottom one despite swapping the spark plugs, ignition coils, and changed out the switch box, and none of these has made any difference. Compression is good in both cylinders. Any...

    Crusader 8.1 Starting Issue

    Hey guys, I have a pair of 2003 Crusader HO 8.1s. They are MPI. The starboard one is acting up sometimes. About a month ago, I turned the key to the run position, and normally you would hear the alarm beep, the fuel pump come on, and then you can start it. There was nothing. Tried it again and...

    Dexcool or ?

    Hey folks, Bought a 42' 2003 Cruisers with 2 Crusader HO 8.1's in it. They have just over 300 hrs, and I suspect the coolant in the engines has never been changed. The overflow bottle has pink antifreeze in it, which I am told is Dexcool. I want to change out the antifreeze in both engines, and...

    Fridge Inverter

    I have a DE-251E Norcold fridge that runs great on 110V AC, but will not switch over to 12V when disconnected from shore power. I have diagnosed the problem, and have determined it is the oscillator. Fixing the fridge is not an option, and new ones are far too much $$$. I would like to mount an...

    One Crack In Block

    Hey guys, I have a friends V6 here, with a crack in the block due to improper winterizing. I have removed the intake, and this is the only problem I can find, besides a few frost plugs pushed out. I have never been a believer of band-aid solutions, but I'm considering JB welding it. Is this a...

    1999 3.0L Engine Block

    Hey guys, Did GM put any 3.0L 4 cylinder engines in any of their cars or trucks, or are they strictly for a marine application? Got a boating buddy with a cracked block, and he needs to replace it. Thanks!

    Hey folks, I am in the process of fixing the loose steering in a Bravo transom assembly. The engine is already removed for other repairs. The steering lever is loose on the swivel shaft. I have the nut almost off of the shaft with a wrench, and the steering lever would come off if there was...

    1998 Vortec 5.7 Intake Gasket... Help!

    Please have a look at the pictures below. The Felpro intake gasket in the picture fits perfectly on the heads. When you lay it on the intake, [2 barrel carb] you can see it does not seal on cylinders 3, 5, 4, and 6 on the bottom inner corners. The engine burns about 1/2 quart of oil in 4 hours...

    Dry Riser Gasket

    Hi folks, I am installing new OEM dry joint manifolds and riser gaskets on a 2003 4.3 v6. It uses a restricted gasket. Does it matter whether the restricted part of the gasket is facing for or aft? The old gaskets appeared to be facing forward, but it is hard to tell since the risers were...

    Stereo Noise Issue

    Hey folks, I have a noise issue on my stereo system that is driving me crazy. Last year I added an amp and 2 more speakers to our Monterey. It works great while I am hooked up to shore power, however when we are out on the water and our dual voltage fridge is running on 12V, I get this nasty...
