    exhaust valve stuck open

    not difficult if you know how to turn a wrench. first thing to do is pull the exhaust manifold. you will most likely find that the exhaust manifold is leaking into the exhaust port

    What ? , Really, what is with this trailer?

    Looks AI generated. because trailer axles are usually square, the hardware mounting the axle to the spring is wonky and the coloring is off on the trailer

    Upgrade to 4bbl, what about throttle cable bracket?

    get the mercruiser 4-barrel bracket or one of the much much much less expensive generic 4-barrel throttle brackets and make up a new bracket to mount the circuit breaker.

    OMC 4.3 Electronic Ignition Swap

    I personally would never use pertronix again, because every one failed on me. I would stick with points. While yes, you are looking at a file/gap/dwell set service every spring, that is 5 minutes worth of work, and a set of points should last 20+ years your setup is exactly like @Lou C I...

    I can not believe

    there are two companies that make boat glass. None of them make less than the MOQ $500 is cheap for a 35 year old boat compared to others. Most are in the $1200+ per side for curved glass try finding a sunroof panel for a 2016 Cruisers Cantius 48' for under $10k per side (same glass...

    Rebuilding for outboard

    the fact that there is a 120hp OMC makes this boat over 36 years old as the last 2.5 liter to roll off of GM's assembly line was 1990 I doubt the structure under the floor is good.

    Have you cleaned and resurfaced exhaust manifolds?

    asking the same question in 4 different threads doesn't magically make the rusted beyond service life manifolds suddenly better. buy new manifolds, go boating.

    About to buy my first used Pontoon tomorrow (water test) anything I should watch for?

    Pontoon boats are stuck between displacement speed and planing speed. its the nature of the hull. there wont be a significant performance jump between 60hp and 115hp on a 2-log 'toon you can turn them into a fast brick, but you must throw A LOT of HP at them. as in 800hp + after you add the...

    Faria Beede Tachometer reading high intermittently

    yes, the little cheesy selector switch. change it from one end to the other, then set it back. that wipes the contacts a bit, cleaning them to get a better contact (common marine tach issue) since your tach looks to have ring terminals, loosen those and re-tighten.

    1996 Chris Craft 5.8FSI Swap to Carb

    sounds more like you have bad connections. start at the battery, and clean every connection from the battery to the helm on both power and ground. hope you dont boat in salt water. that intake is not designed for salt water.
