    97 Bayliner 1950 Capri

    I'd love to help but in this thread i'd be the only one. I recommend posting a new thread with the topic, lots of good minds. First check the battery. If you have the exact same boat you can look under the helm or even pull off the helm gauge plate and follow the ignition wire to the fuse panel...

    97 Bayliner 1950 Capri

    So mine was shot when I got the boat. Ended up ripping it out and remounting it just beside the old spot on the wood blocking that was already in the bilge that was glassed and painted.

    97 Bayliner 1950 Capri

    Borrowed the prop for testing run. Removed my original prop and saw just behind the aft adapter that it was a mercury 48-832832-C1-21, this explains the lag. I should get to within range at WOT now but only time will tell. Thanks for your help.

    Engine is new refurbished from a Mercruiser dealer so this is me assuming it’s where it should be.

    Mercruiser 3.0LX throttle position, difficult to start

    I'll check the gap, are you referring to the color of the actual spark? It's white last time I confirmed spark.

    Mercruiser 3.0LX throttle position, difficult to start

    Hello, I have a '97 Mercruiser 3.0LX that i'm refurbishing after it's been sitting for a while. I've had success running the engine, after refurbishing the carb, starter and alternator replacement, plugs, wires, cleaning out exhaust/intake manifold, new fuel lines/sender & fuel. I'm getting...

    No water out transom or exhaust

    the impeller acts like a vacuum, unless it's spinning and forcing water past it and through the system, it will act like a closed door.
