    Replacing in-line fuel filter on 5.7L MPI

    I'd like to replace the in-line filter on my 5.7L MPI with something like the Moeller 033319. Their website says this filter is rated at 85 PSI, but Not useable for Inboard Engines. Since I have an I/O and not an Inboard I purchased one, but the packaging says for Outboard Use Only. Is this a...

    Retrieving engine data out of Denso Thunderbolt V ICM

    I see a few scanners can access the info out of a Thunderbolt V ignition module made by Denso. I'm looking to retrieve this data without having to buy a $300 scanner. Does anyone know how to access this data? There are 2 pins available on the side of the module, which along with the ground...

    Flo-Torq II Hub: Are there different thickness Forward Thrust Washers?

    I picked up a used Mercury Mirage + prop, 48-18278A45. This uses the Flo-Torq II hub system. I installed it on a 1996 Alpha 1, Gen 2 drive. I used a new Flo-Torq II kit, which came with the Bronze Forward Thrust Washer (48-835467Q01). I can hear and feel the prop touching the case behind the...

    Has anyone ever heard of a Mercury Typhoon prop?

    Has anyone ever heard of a Mercury Typhoon prop? This is not a Quicksilver Stainless Typhoon prop, but an Mercury Aluminum Black Diamond Typhoon prop. It has a weird part number too, TA-2010X. It's a 16 x 16 prop, which seems like it should be a Quicksilver QA-2010X prop, but it's not. This...

    New GM 5.7L shows full with 4 quarts of oil

    I had a new engine installed, which is a new GM factory built crate engine last fall. At 10 hours I went to change the oil, but only 4 quarts came out. The dipstick had shown as full before I removed it. The original engine was a 1996 5.7L Mercruiser (pre Vortex). The new engine has a stamp...

    Mercruiser 5.7L Closed Cooling

    I'm installing a Mercruiser closed cooling on a previous raw water cooled 5.7L V8, and need help with a couple hookups. 1. The hose from the top of the water pump goes where? It looks like the block, but I can't tell where. 2. There is a 90 degree elbow on the top of my thermostat housing...

    Alpha One Gen 2 Water Pump Kit 817275Q05

    I have a 1996 Alpha One Gen 2 Sterndrive, and when it was new it would cause the engine to overheat. After quite a bit of back and forth with Mercruiser, they determined that the plate under the impeller was warped, and allowing air to get sucked into the water flow. The fix was to seal the...
