    water in gas system. do the fuel pumps necessarily need to be replaced?

    someone left the gas cap open on my 4 Winns and water got into the fuel tank we are being told that the two fuel pumps need to be replaced. to the tune of about $1200 parts and labor. (and expense we really don't need right now.) does it make sense that if water got into the fuel system the...

    sank the 25hp, now revived. follow up question

    well that went reasonably well. my brother and I spent the day (neither of us are really mechanical) changing the engine oil and gear case grease on our 25hp 4 Stroke EFI that I sank 3 days ago. with everything back together she fired right up. and high speed she runs well, as good as before...

    extracting a piece of rubber hose from a 25hp cylinder head

    Merc 25 equipped boat veers to starboard

    When I release the steering wheel of our little Merc 25 equipped tin boat, it veers to Starboard. It's been like this for years, but I thought I'd ask help here. Is there an adjustment I can make to the motor installation to fix this? What's causing the pull? Many thanks Peter
