    Does this sound familiar to anybody?; Four units now, on two different boats with shafts that are out of spec when dialed, and all props out of spec as well. Owners insist they did not hit anything (heard that before!) and prop shop opinion is that it is not consistent with an impact. Upon...

    m440x timing

    At least we're not talking about #1 cylinder or which way we should face to determine rotation!! I like the brain teaser stuff....when it doesn't make sense it warrants investigation lest we miss something we should know. Rick, in point five, I was reffering to the method of stating advance...

    number one on chrysler marine 318

    They say a picture is worth a thousand words (for most of us anyway) but I'm sure GreaseM will try to discredit these also. Sh*t, maybe we should through all our manuals away. 'nough said.

    Could my 2004 312 Rinker with 5.0 Mercruisers and B3 drives NOT have a Mercathode system?

    You can check for yourself. Here's a pic of what the controller looks like. If you have them, they'll be mounted on top of the engine or somewhere behind mounted on the transom.

    2 on/off battery switches to one on/off both

    Get a good heavy duty marine rated (sealed) solenoid. A temporary push button switch for the helm, some 14 or even better 12 AWG wire for control side should be enough, depends on coil draw and length of wire needed (push button to solenoid), heavy battery cable; one for each load side of...

    Converting from fresh water to raw water

    Some fresh water systems run coolant in the exhaust manifolds and some run raw water through the manifolds and out. This is important to know as the manifold will have a blocking plate preventing the water exiting out of the manifold, and will be a determining factor on how you plumb that...

    bellhouse upper gearcase bushing,seal installation

    All I have access to is a hard copy. I do not have an electronic one. I scanned these for you. It's very clear to me that both lip seals face the same direction - up. Pretty common double lip seal arrangement. Older set up Newer setup with bushing and seals in one

    Alternator and or charging system question

    Kghost, great article, I'm going to keep that one. Ditto to what Rich said. All I can add is that I look at solenoids two different ways. There are those that act as switches which only have to overcome thier own internal spings that return the contacts to the normally open (or closed) position...

    Alternator and or charging system question

    Here's the simplest form of what I'm talking about. My setup is much more complicated but I have a twin engine application and multiple banks to consider. The only issue with this set up as mentioned earlier is that the same charge line is charging two dissimilar banks, however in the grand...

    Fluctuating Tach

    Has anybody resolved a fluctuating tach issue? It happens at around 1000 rpm in idle no load. If I throttle up, it smoothes out. The tach is not the issue as I switched it out to the other engine and it worked fine. I traced all wires and connections and could not find a poor connection or...
