Yea, the mods here present and past, along with several others are pretty cool and helping us rookies save some money and make us smarter and wiser in our mechanical ventures.

Sounds like you may be needing to do a lot of maintenance to get your boat up-to-par so if you haven't visited this section http://forums.iboats.com/mercruiser...tdrives/adults-only-no-exceptions-288430.html that Don put together, might want to do that. All kinds of great information, videos, diagrams.....
