    1995 Mercruiser 350 Magnum Tournament Ski Stumbling

    Throttle Body EFI, Ser. OF562552 This engine powers a 1995 Ski Sanger DLX20 that I bought end of 2016. After a lot of work chasing down a fuel delivery problem, the boat has been running great for the last few years. Today it was stumbling off idle when trying to pull up a slalom skier. Usually...

    Packing Gland Access Port

    1995 Ski Sanger 20DLX with 95 Mercruiser 5.7L Tournament Magnum Ski V8: Anybody know/remember how to open this cover? It's deck-mounted behind the engine cover in this direct-drive boat. I opened it six years ago to tighten the packing gland, but can't remember how it works. Tired prying it with...

    Weatherproof Fabric Adhesive?

    I want to patch an acrylic boat cover with some leftover fabric the canvas shop gave me when they built it. The boat is at my dock from now until Oct. 1, exposed to sun, wind and rain the entire time. Looking for an adhesive that will stand up to those conditions. Pls don't refer me back to the...

    1984 Evinrude 30hp E30ECRR Battery Spec

    I've been using a 550 CCA battery to start this outboard for years, which is overkill. When it's time to replace, I'd like to get the correct size and (I hope) save a little money. Or, could I swap in my old 550 CCA battery from my 5.7L V8 ski boat when it gives out, and use it for the outboard...

    Shore Station guide-on replacement

    The attached photo is the shaft of a spring loaded technical term for guide-on at the four corners of my Shore Station SS36108 boat hoist. They center the boat on the bunks when you crank it up. The hoist is probably 20+-years old (bought it used) and the steel guide-ons are starting to break...

    Bilge Pump Polarity?

    Just replaced the bilge pump in my 1995 Ski Sanger Tournament Tow Boat. As far as I know, it's a simple 12v negative ground electrical system. The pump was operational last season, but didn't run when I turned it on yesterday. Ordered the parts and Amazon delivered them today. I replaced to old...

    Mercruiser 5.7 engine alarm?

    1995 Mercruiser 350 Magnum Tournament Ski TBI Ser. OF562552 This engine powers my 1995 Ski Sanger DLX20. I live in MI, and my buddy in CA has the same boat, just the 1994 model. Same engine, but his is carbureted. When I turn on the ignition, there is a very high-pitched beep that lasts about 3...

    Thru-Prop Exhaust On Evinrude? Yes or No?

    1984 Evinrude 30 Mod. #E30ECRR, Ser. #F0368410 This powers my 1984 Harris Flotebote 240 Sunliner. When I bought the boat 11 years ago, it had a dinky prop with blades worn half off, and a cap on the prop hub. First thing I did was re-prop the boat per recommendation of a local prop house. The...

    1984 Evenrude 30: Turn it down?

    Mod. #E30ECRR, Ser. #F0368410 Great little motor that's only giving trouble once in the last 11 years. But as I've gotten older, it seems to have gotten LOUDER (I know it's just my hearing is more sensitive.). It's on my '84 Harris Flotebote Sunliner 240 pontoon, hanging on the engine box off...

    Alternator, Regulator or Gauge?

    1995 Mercruiser 350 Magnum Tournament Ski, 460 hours. At wakeboard/ski speeds (18/30 mph) the battery gauge is pinned to the top reading, 16V. Is this normal? I have a multi tester if checking is required. Just need a how-to on the procedure. Many thanks for your help, PW

    Under Hood Temps

    1995 Mercruiser 350 Tournament Ski Direct Drive in a 1995 Ski Sanger DLX 20 tournament tow boat. Anybody have a rough idea of the top temp under the engine cover? (I don't have any automotive/scientific measuring devices. Maybe I could use my instant-read meat thermometer?) Not talking about...

    Need a new fuel tank sender

    Pictures attached are the no-longer-working sender from my 1995 Ski Sanger DLX 20. There are no manufacturer's marks of any kind on the sender. The Top plate diameter = 2.75". Swing arm is 3.75" from its pivot point to where it enters the float. The fuel tank is 7.25 inches deep. I've checked...

    Does Size Matter?

    When I bought a 95 Ski Sanger DLX20 equipped with a 350 Mag Tournament Ski TBI, it came with a Group24 size battery that needed replacing. I bought another G24 battery with the 550 CCA recommended by the Merc Service Manual. Now that battery is on its last legs. Does the physical size of the...

    95 Mercruiser 350 Magnum Tournament Ski engine oil

    Serial #OF652552. I've been using Quicksilver 25W-40 FC-W conventional for $24/gal. from Walmart. Bass Pro sells their store brand with the same viscosity and FC-W rating for $13/gal. Both are NMMA-approved. So, is this a “You get what you pay for” situation, or should I use the Bass Pro...

    Pontoon Part Broke

    I have a 1984 Harris Flotebote Sunliner 240, which has been great for the 11 years I've owned it. It has metal loops welded on to the front and back of each pontoon where I clip the mooring lines. One of the loops wore thru and broke. Looking at the rest, they could all use replacing. Anybody...

    Belt too tight or loose?

    95 Mercruiser 350 V8 Mag Tournament Ski, 95 Ski Sanger Tournament Tow Boat. Just changed out the two belts and installed a new sea water pump impeller. The sea water pump belt chirps a little on startup, but quiets down quick. It also does a little chirp when I shut down the engine. It's pretty...
