    1997 5.7L thunderbolt ignition. Slow crank

    The 2BBL isn't an issue but the manifold is, the Mans have different bolt patterns Assuming you have a mechanical fuel pump so you would need to go electric

    Hey y'all

    Have not tried Turkey hunting, just watching KY Afield they show how it can be so easy and how it can be so hard. In KY you can hunt Racoon, Ground Hog, Coyote can be hunted year round

    Starter electrical connection

    I see it all as bad connections. Most with this kind of issue they clean a connection or two which is good, but need more clean. Look close at the lug and under the insulation jacket. Most forget about the grounds, but they are very important

    Merc 250 Verado Fuel increase

    I'm thinking if the dealer doesn't see anything on the G3 than my next thought is to remove the Firstmate and VV mobile, I don't use them anyway.

    Water pump rebuild after 11 years and 600 hours

    Not judgemental at all, you rolled the dice and you won, same is if someone decided I'm not going to change the oil in my car/truck and I sold it with 150K miles and it's still running. Yaah you win

    Water pump rebuild after 11 years and 600 hours

    Yeeeesss I read that part You decided that I'm going to watch my gauge and if it changes I'm shutting my motor down no matter where I'm at. So you didn't need to be towed or half to paddle back 100 yards to 5 miles, you win

    One side steaming more than the other

    It's hard to say without more testing. Your motors are pretty solid runners. It's running hotter and your seeing signs of it, so there is a problem, finding it will be the issue. A compression test should provide most insight but it's not easy to do with a diesel Does that motor need more or...

    Water pump rebuild after 11 years and 600 hours

    The dice were rolled and you won So after all this time it shows that the pump housing and wear plates are really worn. So your rolling the dice again with parts that need to be replaced IMO Good luck

    over heats

    Looks like your talking more about the Johnson motor than the boat, I'll move if that is the case. New to you boat with overheating issues, yes replace the impeller and see if that solves that problem

    Merc 250 Verado Fuel increase

    Yes, but this issue has not been looked at by dealer yet. I'm really thinking all along it was caused by what was installed trying to get VV to fully power down. VV wasn't powering down because Chap didn't rig the boat correctly

    Merc 250 Verado Fuel increase

    Also found out you don't need the special tool to remove or install the ALT belt. 8M0146862 ($55 to $70) Just cut the belt to remove, and hold the belt with one hand while you rotate the motor using breaker bar. You DO need the special tool to rotate the motor. 8M146861 ($72 to $85)
