    Water pump

    Thanks guys, it's all put back together. Held air pressure. Fired up and have better water flow out of the exhaust, and the temp peaked out at 160ish, it had been climbing to 170, but never let it get any higher than that. It's an easy repair, just nerve raking to make sure you have a seal...

    Water pump

    Do'h my bad, alpha one Gen 2 from 92. I watched the video on YouTube that was linked in the adults only section ( video was by Chrisa660, is that you? Great videos, super helpful!). In that video they just put the small hole gasket, face plate and large hole gasket on and that's it. Thanks

    Manual says to add perfect seal to small hole gasket. Both sides, side with the face plate or side that contact lower unit? Thanks in advance

    Water Pump rebuild kit

    Happy Spring and start-up season. Quick question, I need to service the impeller on my alpha one Gen 2 / SEI 116 drive. I was looking at kit 47-8M0100526. When I look at the parts it appears to have 2-3 large hole gaskets. However when I look at the service manual and parts diagrams it...

    Engine temp question

    2-3 seasons ago impeller was changed, probably about 40-60 hours of run time. Usually tops out at 170 while idling, drops 155 when under way, then will creep up once only idle. Figured it was probably the impeller. I guess regardless of run time the impeller looses it effectiveness.

    Engine temp question

    I got into some shallow water in the lake today and was stirring a lot of junk up. Keeping an eye on engine temp, anything else I should look out for also? Also running a 92 4.3LX, manual says a 143 thermostat, at idle engine warms up to 170, then holds once I start idling or get on plan temp...

    Spark Plugs

    Bought new AC Delcos. Compared to the NGKs the reach appears the same, but AC Delco overall body is longer. Will probably replace like for like.

    Spark Plugs

    Best I can tell I previous owner, searay name plate matched title so assuming 1. Don't know if heads changed, but I'll replace with what's currently being used, which matches service manual.

    Spark Plugs

    Misread spec chart, spark plug hex size is 5/8", but reach is 12.3mm and and on the champion I believe it's 11.2mm. Is reach the part the goes into the engine block? More curious about that 1 mm difference.

    Spark Plugs

    I compared the two different plugs the threaded part/spark part appear to be se same length and thread size, the ceramic and end is where one is slightly longer than the other. Is it fair to assume that if the reach and diameter are the same then the spark plugs are comparable and the overall...

    Also have this picture from the engine cover. Clearly a D826758, so I would have expected service manual 7.

    Spark Plugs

    I have what I have assumed is a 92 4.3LX mercruiser V6. Serial # shows D828755 or might be D626755 (I'll try to attach a pic). I have been using service manual 7 which says it covers serial number B775130 -F000000. The service manual lists Champion RV15YC4, but other sources for the same...
