    Very Low Compessions on Mercruiser 5.0 MPI Engine. with Exhaust Manifold, Thermostat Housing Removed.

    I would pull the motor and tear it down. My guess is you need a new bobtail If the motor was submerged, the steering cable, wiring harness, and rotating electrics will need replacement as well

    95 Four winns 5.8L OMC Cobra

    none of the fuel injection parts are available. so when it breaks, you have to convert to carb. Ford went out of the marine business about the time your boat was new. OMC went out of business probably as they were pushing your boat out the building. we normally tell people avoid ford and...
