    Water plumbing system

    Our express cruiser has a water system for sinks/little shower etc...stopped working. Pump is probably 4 years old, not used heavily. I turned the switch on and probed the two wires going into the pump and does not seem to be getting power. I pulled the panel off and oh my- I expected a simple...

    Dash got ripped out!

    I gave a 2005 270 I/O rinker express cruiser. Someone I guess needed my dash with all my gauges worse than I did. The harness/wires behind the dash were all cut. What a mess. So that harness, is that a merc harness from the motor to the gauges or do the boat makers create that harness? Rinker is...

    Bravo lll shift adjustement

    I guess the title is mis leading- I found after I put my outdrive back on without the proper adjustment it's hard to shift. I recall on the bearing puller there was a way to set that end of the cable and then there is another tool to set the other end of the cable. I believe there was a work...

    So..I thought I had a thread going on this....my boat sat for almost 3 years...with varying ages of fuel in it. So, was able to go to the ramp finally but it would not run. I put a valve on the fuel rail with a line into a bottle- hit the key and probably had 50% water and a some crap but...

    Raw water pump

    So, have been working through some issues with fuel...I think with all the cranking,or not getting water to the pump I fried the impeller. My 350 mpi is closed cooling. For water I have the merc foot and a thru hull- both hoses go to a strainer and then to the pump. I have it home on a trailer...

I had ordered from a company that is no longer in business but my recollection was I got a wear plate that...
