    Proper trim tab adjustment

    Hi guys. Well getting ready to put in and I was sitting staring at the back of my boat and was thinking the trim tab was pointing the wrong way. I rebuilt the water pump and did a regular service on it and I can't remember which way to put the tab. I realize one would adjust it if required, but...

    Front motor mounts stripped

    Hi again.Yesterday I took my 1979 Bayliner, 140 horse Mercruiser for a test run and after cruising for a while we stopped to check our repairs from yesterday. All seemed well, so I accelerated hard to plain and the boat was leaning hard to port (left?). It became fairly hard to control so we...

    Leaking oil

Last time out I discoverd the oil was down and began to look for why. I noticed some trails of oil running down the side of the...

    Max RPMs

    I have a 1979 Bayliner with a 140 in-line four Mercruiser. It won't plane out til I reach 4000 rpms. Is this to high. Also it is difficult to start. I have replaced all the ignition parts. It runs perfect except for this problem. This is my first time here. The small tube from the exaust...
