    No Water Coming out of the Prop

    1979 Century 351 Ford OMC I/O I was helping a neighbor double check everything (fluids, hoses, belts, etc) before he put his boat on the lift. We put the Ears on, fired it up, and no water was coming out of the prop. Well, maybe a trickle. I did notice a spray of water coming from between...

    Stripped Spark Plug Threads

    I need to repair a stripped spark plug thread. Has anyone use the Time-Sert inserts. They appear to be more solid than HeliCoil. I'd prefer not to remove the head, but if that's the only option, so be it.

    Do Lifters Need to be ReAdjusted?

    A couple years ago, I put a 1989 Mercruiser 120hp (Chevy) in my 69 StarCraft 18ft BowRider I/O. Runs like a champ! Very smooth and lots of power. After she's run, for a half hour or so, it starts ticking. Sometimes starts to sound like more of a knock than a tick. Question is, should I even...

    60hp Falls Flat on It's Face......Sometimes

    Looking some wisdom here???????.. I have a 1998 60hp Merc (3cly 2stroke, not big foot) on my pontoon. While at WOT, after a period of time, it will fall flat on it's face, sometimes. Like it's starved for fuel. Or sometimes it will run fine at WOT until I back off a little. Then it falls on...
