    1400hrs 5.7l 2001

    A 2001 boat should have between 1100 hours and 2200 hours if it was used With normal maintenance, 5000 hours plus is the norm. As Bondo states, boat motors are normally murdered by lack of maintenance and do not die of normal wear. Plus, I am willing to bet the key was left on more than once.

    Setting dwell while cranking is normal. Dizzy doesn't know if it's in a boat, or a tractor, or genset

    Pontoon 20’ long bunks

    because the salts and chemicals used to treat the lumber will attack the aluminum and you will have pits along the area where the toon logs sit on the bunks.

    5.0 Mercruiser MPI Question After Stalling On Me This Weekend

    do not reuse the old filter (because the dirty side mixes with the clean side when you pour the contents.)

    Coolant in 3 cylinders after winter storage? Hasn't been started

    you have water pooled on top of the valve, and the valve and seat are rusted. your manifolds need to be acetone tested as visual inspection doesnt mean squat......as that is pooled water in the center port you need to pressure test the cooling water jacket and do a compression and leak down...

    Coolant in 3 cylinders after winter storage? Hasn't been started

    did you poke each and every drain in the block, manifolds, hoses, etc to ensure that water did drain? or does this have the 3-point or single point drain system which may or may not drain the block, heads, manifolds, etc.?

    King Cobra (1993-1994) prop shaft removal

    No one is questioning your background. However the truth is, most of the tech's trained 30 years ago have long since retired or passed. Those tools would have been owned by the shop and not the individual techs. so you are looking for an independent shop owner that was factory trained and...

    Exhaust Manifold Advice

    again, Osco is used by both Volvo and Mercruiser and has a great reputation, or at least they did as they recently sold off their patterns and got out of the marine manifold business. Barr is a better supplier than Osco and is the same casting house used by every marine company out there as...

    King Cobra (1993-1994) prop shaft removal

    trying to buy the thousands of dollars worth of tools to service a non-desirable drive with no parts support is a fools errand. besides throwing away the clymer and seloc manual (they make ok knee pads, however do not work well as toilet paper) you will need to have factory training (which no...

    Exhaust Manifold Advice

    I personally recommend new vs used as I view manifolds like I do underwear. only you can make the determination between the two. If it was me, and I was looking at two used manifolds, one HGE and one Osco, unless the Osco had big amounts of flaking rust, I would buy the Osco

    Yamaha I/O power steering lines

    the return line is easy. its just a 3/8" Power Steering return line. the difficulty will be the fitting at the actuator and identifying which of the 24 variations of hydraulic port is there the pressure line at the back of the pump is easy, that is a standard 5/8-16 thread for an SAE inverted...

    Pontoon 20’ long bunks

    order in 20 foot lengths from your local wood supplier. galvanized metal brackets and your aluminum toon logs do not make a good combination if you introduce water. additionally, the galvanized material will soon start to rust. do not use pressure treated lumber
