    1999 Mercruiser 4.3L Fuel Pump

    Thanks Lou, your right ethanol, it's a carbureted engine, so just a single low pressure pump. Wiring is all there as you mentioned, thanks for the advice!

    1999 Volvo SX-M compatability with 2005 Volvo DP 190

    I have an opportunity to get a 2005 DP 190 at a decent price, can anyone help me with the compatability with my 1999 SX-M transom shield. The gear ratio's match up, just wasn't sure if I need to chase down a transom shield also. Doing a restore on my boat and this is a good time to convert to a...

    Re: 1999 Four Winns Candia 214 Restoration - Return of the Hangar Queen! Back at the destruction today, had about a good five hours or more of foam removal and started removing the aft bulkhead at the rear of the fuel tank compartment. It's really a shame the wood has rotted so bad because all...

    1999 Four Winns Candia 214 Restoration - Return of the Hangar Queen!

    Re: 1999 Four Winns Candia 214 Restoration - Return of the Hangar Queen! I started on the tear down today, my hats off to those who have accomplished this. Taking the deck off wasn’t too bad, but the foam is another story. Used all the tricks I have read up on and it was still a bear. Five...

    1999 Four Winns Candia 214 Restoration - Return of the Hangar Queen!

    Re: 1999 Four Winns Candia 214 Restoration - Return of the Hangar Queen! Well I regrouped; built a gantry similar to the one Oops had fabricated, got a 2.5 ton chain hoist and declared war on my deck cap insert! It put up a noble fight, but in the end I prevailed and after lots of cracking...

    Re: 1999 Four Winns Candia 214 Restoration - Return of the Hangar Queen! I have learned working on this project that Craig’s List can be your friend if your patient. Doesn’t hurt to buy in the off season when folks are not looking feverishly for boat parts. I have not had very good luck with...

    Re: 1999 Four Winns Candia 214 Restoration - Return of the Hangar Queen! Decided to continue messing with the mechanical pieces since it is so hot. Worked on the exhaust elbows and the Y-pipe, stripped them all the way down to metal and prepped and painted them, turned out pretty good, a lot...

    Re: 1999 Four Winns Candia 214 Restoration - Return of the Hangar Queen! Well, got lucky and scored a Volvo Penta SX-M outdrive from a V-8 boat off Craig’s List at a decent price. After cross referencing the model number to the Volvo owner’s manual looks like the same gear ratio that came...

    Re: 1999 Four Winns Candia 214 Restoration - Return of the Hangar Queen! Had a couple of hours to mess with the boat so I pulled the transom shield off, bigger job than I expected mostly due to corrosion on bolts caused by salt water . In the end I prevailed and got the whole thing out of...
