    4.3 Mercruiser/ Alpha One Stalls when put into gear

    Is there somewhere I should be putting penetrating oil on the shifter on the outdrive or anything else I might try before I just take it to the dealer?

    4.3 Mercruiser/ Alpha One Stalls when put into gear

    It's an Alpha one gen 1 Talked to the dealer today, they said figure a minimum of 4 weeks and a minimum of $1,000 Sigh.... But time spent tearing this thing apart could be much better spent doing a lot of other jobs that I have to do. If I could free it up without tearing it apart would be...

    4.3 Mercruiser/ Alpha One Stalls when put into gear

    Yep, I'm afraid that is likely correct, I was hoping to free them up if I could. Anyone have any advice on howe to go about that? If I disconnect the switch should I see if the prop will spin with it in gear? A lot of things on the old girl have been seized or sticky from sitting. It was...

    7.5 HP Evinrude won't rev out

    I've got a 7.5 Evinrude on a 14' tinner, I believe it's a 1981 model. It will start on the first pull just about every time, runs and idles so smooth it is ideal for trolling but it will not rev out when it's time to go home. Bogs and chugs along and seems horribly underpowered. Plugs look...

    Installing temp gauge and or water pressure gauge?

    I'd like to install a temp gauge and or a water pressure gauge onto a 96 150 Fast Strike that has been giving me fits and going into SLOW mode. How does a guy go about this, where do you plumb in and what values should you expect to see in normal operation?

    1995 150 Fast Strike problem. Motor quits and gives alarm.

    So I just bought a 1995 17' Glastron bow rider with a 150 Johnson OB on it. Took it to the lake and it was quite rough so wasn't a great test but we managed to do a little tubing and some fishing. Boat starts and runs great, lots of power and quick to plane with 4 adults on board. However, a...
