    2008 Mercruiser 3.0 Voltage output?

    Hello, Was late getting my boat out of storage and only got it ran up yesterday. I noticed that it seems to be putting out a little too much on the alternator. Granted, I never took it out on the water to see if it would drop off, however, I am looking to see what other's experience have been...

    Did something wrong, but what?

    Hello, I have a 2007 bayliner 175 with a 3.0 Alpha 1 Gen 2. I had to remove the lower unit due to some skeg damage to get repaired. I rebuilt the water pump, re-assembled and filled with new gear oil. There were no leaks, and everything seemed fine. Test ran, no water in the lower unit. Used it...

    Bayliner Windshield

    Well, today I had the wierdest thing happen. We were taking our boat into our storage bay (2007 175 BR) as it will not be used for about 4 weeks. Normally we tarp it except for travelling into town, as we live on a gravel road. I met a minivan on the way into town, and it threw a rock and...

We were out fishing the other night, and it seemed to me that the bow was running a little high. I am comparing it to my old boat I have had for a couple of...

    1984 merc 60hp in gear?

    I have posted a couple of topics, but now have yet another question that I am hoping someone can help me with. When I re-installed my lower unit after rebuilding my waterpump, I made sure that is was in neutral as was the control. The prop seems to spin in both forward and reverse, the thing I...

    Rebuilt Water Pump now a little problem

    I figured that I would post a new topic, since this is a new problem. I received the parts for my waterpump, and put it together and re-installed onto the motor. Now I have a bit of a problem. When I was putting the bottom half of the pump on, I re-used the o-ring. I noticed that the diameter on...
