    Mercruiser 5.7 smoking from exhaust and wont start

    I took my boat out yesterday and it started fine at the house while on the hose. I let it run for a few minutes and shut it off. Got to the lake and it started fine, ran it around the lake once and went to the dock. When I got to the dock I put it in reverse and it started smoking slightly from...

    98 Mercruiser 5.7 manifolds different temps?

    Hello again everyone, I've looked through threads and couldn't find an answer for my issue(other than what I've already done). I replaced my risers and manifolds on my 98 Mercruiser 5.7 with Alpha I Gen II drive. I've never noticed this before but after replacing the manifolds and risers the...

    1993 Force 40 won't start

    I've got a 1993 Force 40hp outboard that I'm working on for a friend. Sometimes it starts right up but won't idle. You have to have the idle level way up even after it's warm and to put it in gear you have to be quick to lower the lever and put it in gear... thats when it wants to start...

    Engine bogs down at WOT

    I've used this site a few times for help and almost always get someone who posts the fix for it so why stop now right? I've got a 98 Searay with a 5.7 Mercruiser in it. We haven't used it much the last few months but we do hook the hose to it and run it for a few minutes a couple times a month...

    Alpha One Gen 2 seal carrier replacement

    I have a 98 SeaRay with 165 hours on it. We bought it just over a year ago and I have decided to do the annual maintenance so I got the impeller kit with new housing and all. I have never messed with something like this except on outboards which as it turns out, is completely different. I have...

    73 evinrude 18hp fuel issue

    I have a 72 evinrude that doesn't want to run at WOT. It will surge full power then bog down, then surge and bog down. It will do it over and over. It will idle and go up to ALMOST mid throttle with no problems but after that it hesitates. I suspect its the fuel pump but for this particular...

    !973 Evinrude 18hp cuts out at full throttle

    I have a 1973 Evinrude 18hp that I just got running somewhat correctly(It sat for 4 years by previous owner). It starts right up(sometimes at idle it kind of snorts and the motor jerks a little), but when I took it out on the lake it and open the throttle it will get full power(what seems to be...

    1973 Evinrude 18hp water tube

    I just got this motor running and it wasnt cooling properly. I've already changed the water pump and grommet on the water pump housing. I noticed the grommet on the upper end of the water tube was swollen so I ordered a new one. I read that the powerhead had to be taken off to replace the upper...

    I have a 1973 evinrude 18hp(not the fasttwin) that was thrown in with a boat I bought a few weeks ago. When I pull it it backfires but doesn't even try to start.
