I am not sure what tool you got on amazon. I had a cheap tool and tossed it in the trash as I had similar problems. I purchased a Pres-N-Snap tool and never had any trouble ever again! The tool is certainly worth the money...

Also, check each end of the power cords, the pedestal outlet, and the boat outlet. Look for any brown burnt areas. Unfortunaly, these cords don't last forever after constant removal. Make sure you use any screw on black hubs (if you have them) to keep the cords connected tightly and waterproof!

I am assuming yo are getting a low fluid alarm??? It may be a simple as crack in the reservoir, or bad seal where the low sensor is on the bottom of the reservoir, or a bad hose connection. Start by only keeping the reservoir half full. With a dry bilge and oil all cleaned up on the...

Hi Allen,. I don't remember an anti siphon valve in any of my boats. Just a water line from the fresh water pump to the back of the toilet. When you step on the pedal, that simply acts like an faucet ( on or off). I do remember the cartridge of the pedal being tricky during the install...

Heck no I did not make that video. But I gave had my share of problems twice with teen age guest that came on board. Thus, it required that the wife gives them a long chat when they step 1 foot on board!

If you do a google search, you will find mixed reviews on the Hardin Marine pumps. When I had a similar problem on my searay, I contacted Mercury marine for advice. My pumps were brass and slightly scored. Mercury gave me the part numbers based on the engine serial number, a new "smaller...

If you have the model I am familiar with, the gray one goes on first, then the black, then the toilet. See this video: Not sure why the hose burst loose? Did you remove and reinstall it?

Agreed. Certainly the next place to start troubleshooting. Check for scoring in the brass plates of the impeller (if you have brass) and make sure you have all the vanes found from the old impleller as they can get elsewhre in the system if broken off!. If any scoring, Mercury does make a...

If he does have a B3When was the last time you changed the raw water impeller? May be worth replacing if more than 2 years old!

Dido on the drill. Just hold the old snap with a pair of channelocks or similar and put a block of wood behind it.

He said the pump does go on when he manually turns it on at the helm. Thus, it's not a pump breaker issue... If nothing happened when you connected the two wires together, then I would trace the wires going to the interface module of the float switch wiring. Do you have a indicator light at the...

The inner plate Is used when the pump gets scored. Because the pump is made of Brass, it can get easily damaged. Thus, Mercury came out with a solution rather than replacing an $800 pump.

Here is the service / install manual for the shorter impeller. Note: your part number may be different on your model pump.

Hi Coz, I am 100% sure. If you are installing the inner plate (the one that drops in) that plate is 0.030 thick. Thus the new impeller will be that much shorter. I am sending you a picture from page 1, bulletin # 90-8m0120899 Of course, these part Numbers refer to my pump. Yours may be...

Agree with northern. I made an adapter and put a garden hose on the input side. Flushed out sand & mud. The unit is working extra hard with low water flow. Suggest you flush soon. Alternatively you may have a kink in the water line.

If the housing is fine (no cracks), bit you see scoring inside, Mercury may make wear plates that go inside. It shrinks the inside pump diameter a bit. Thus, it's a different size impeller. Thus, in theory. The housing can last much longer. You would just replace 2 plates and the...

If you have Bravo 3's, then the pump is in the boat. So it can be done. I have done it several times on my last boat, 350 Sundancer. I HIGHLY suggest you get some (a bag ) of wooden plugs. West marine should have them for short money. Make sure one will fit the inlet hose. You will get some...

For years, my boat was in the Boston area. Always painted in the spring before launch. Now, my boat is on the ICW in the Myrtle Beach area. I have had a diver clean the bottom at least once a year. My question is how often should I haul and get a fresh coat of bottom paint on in this brackish...

Thanks guys. Sounds like a good plan!

Hello all, I have a 1 foot section of 5 inch wide vinyl bootstripe that was damaged with the by the previous owner (dealer). Its about in the middle of the boat, so I don't want to have to replace 37 feet of it. Any advice on this repair? Should I overlap the new section over the original...
