    Question on 5.0 Mercruiser

    Sorry for being such a newbie, but where is the oil filter located on a 5.0 MerCruiser? The boat in question is an 89 Celebrity 192SE. I'm trying to do an oil change on it and can't find where that sucker is. Thanks in advance!

    Engine bogs down under load

    I have a 5.0 MerCruiser AlphaOne. Last weekend we to ok it out and it ran great for a while, but then it wouldn't go past 3000 rpms under load. I could throw it in neutral and hold it near redline without any problems. It goes to 3000 and then just cuts out like it loses fuel. So yesterday I...

    Add a 2nd Battery

    Anybody have an easy and reasonably priced way to add a 2nd battery that I can switch to for electronics while anchored? I won't cheap out on a battery but some of the switches I've looked at are quite expensive. My friends told me of some cables that have a switch in-line that are for this...

    Trailer Rust Question

    I know it's hard to see but I have some rust on my trailer and would like to fix it. I would of course sand it down and clean it up, but my question it, should I take it apart or can I leave it together? It's where the tongue bolts to the rest of the trailer. I don't know the exact name of it...

    Getting up on plane

    Wonder what you guys do trim-wise when you're getting up on plane? I usually have the trim all the way down and then trim up as necessary. Is this the norm or are there other ways to go about this? The reason I'm asking is because if I don't have enough weight in the front it's really hard to...

    Boat riding weird after all day in the water

    So We put the boat in the water around 1pm and cruised for about 5 miles with no problems. We anchored for until 6pm. I pulled up the anchor and made my way out of the no wake zone. Well when I tried to get on plane the boat acted really funny and kept pulling to the port side. The...

    The Worst Time For...

    You get the point of the title. Mine was unloading my boat last night. I always use my parking brake so I don't wear the parking gear on my tranny. Well last night I set the parking brake and unloaded the boat. When I get in my truck to move it, the brake won't disengage. I mess with it for a...

    Carb to FI

    Just like the title says, I wanna go EFI on my 5.0 MerCruiser. Would this kit from Holley do the job? http://holley.com/700-21.asp The carb works great, but on a busy day it's a pain to let the engine warm up for 5 minutes before I can do anything. That and it might be a little more efficient...

    Made a mistake!!!

    Okay, so it was my fourth time out since I bought my boat. This is the first time I've made a mistake, but I think it may have been a big one. When I pulled the boat out of the water the outdrive dragged across the ramp. As soon as I saw it I stopped and put it up, but there was a bit of weight...

    New to Boating

    So I bought a boat. :) It's my first one and I'm still getting used to it. First trip out I did on my own and it was a little scary at first but then I got the hang of it. I bought a 1989 Celebrity 192SE. Anyway, just wondering if there are any website where I can find more information on...
