I am trying to fix my starboard wiper. I have removed the light in the ceiling to see wiper motor. There appears to be screws holding the wiper motor to the deck. I cannot access these screws at present time. I figured the best way was to remove the ceiling panel in that area to gain full access...
As of late I seem to notice my port engine has developed a distinct whining noise as it is running. I thought it might be the alternator but when I listened to the engine with a stethoscope ,the alternator was quiet but the cool fuel unit seemed to be emitting the whine. The engine is missing...
Sorry but I am not thrilled with the new site. Search feature for past postings seems weak. I normally typed in a search for something and would get lots of data.At times it was bringing up some irrelevant posts by word association but that was filtered by me. As an example, I searched drive...
Hi all. I am having a heck of a bad go with my port engine and need some questions answered. I have had some water intrusion on the inner port and starboard cylinders resulting in valve damage. At a minimum I obviously have to pull the heads and repair. When the problem raised its' ugly head, I...
I am changing the tranny oil cooler on my 2000 310 SA 350 Mag/MPI V drive. I noticed the spec on the oil cooler said it was good up to 150psi. Is the transmission oil pressure going thru the cooler greater than that? I hope I got the right cooler.
Commencing re attachment of heads on my 2000 5.7L 350 mag/mpi. Is there a substitute torgueing table I can use instead of this BS TTY method. Thought I had all the torque wrenches I needed but apparently NOT. lol Any help please?
Removed my heads on my port engine to fix a valve issue.Looking at gaskets and of course the prices vary. Do I need OEM or is FELPRO or Sierra a good type to use also.Want to use the best I can but don't know if there are any real differences in the quality.Thanks for any feedback.
Was wondering if anyone in the Victoria,BC area has the computer program by RINDA for testing the engines. My 2000 310SA with 350 mag/mpi v drives needs some help.Would be happy to pay for a scan.Thanks in advance.
I recently developed a problem on my port engine. I could see unburnt fuel in my exhaust at idle power settings. Seemed to work fine though. I ran the normal gauntlet of full tune-up,including all new plugs,wires,etc. Still had fuel spoting on the water thru exhaust. I spent hours reading...
I was wondering if anyone has a cross reference part number from mercruiser to GM. My engines are 2000 350 Mag/mpi with v drive. I need to replace a couple injectors and was wondering if they are less expensive if purchased from GM. Was also wondering if these parts would be ok due to the fact...
I am confused. Can someone clarify what anccillaries are powered by the main battery switches. In my boat I have two mains ,on/off selections. I will call the Port #1 and Starboard #2. Port has one battery,SB has two. I believe that when I select #1 on,it only powers the port engine,no...
Hi folks,I need some help please. I recently installed an amplifier to my stereo.I wired it up as per all forum discussion and pointers and the manufacturers direction. I used the 2 house batteries or starboard engine batteries to hook my 4 guage wires direct to amp. The stereo works great...
The passengers helm bench seat on my boat felt sponchie in the backrest so I decided to take it apart to see if there was something I could do. I discovered large cracks in the plastic seat frame on the inside 90 degree corner between the seat bottom and backrest. Does anyone know if this can be...
In case anyone is looking for exhaust manifolds, elbows and risers, I just purchased two complete sets for my 2000 310 SA. I really shopped around and at first was sick to my stomach over what these parts could cost. Fortunately, I came across MERCEXHAUST .com and they had a sale on and still...
Twice, in the last couple months, I have blown the in-line 30 amp fuse that connects the original battery charger to the batteries. My battery levels are all good. Is this a sign the charger is on its way out or could it be another issue. I normally leave it on while docked with batteries on.
Changed my vacuflush sani-filter the other day and was un-sure if it was directional at all? Shortly after change-out, ie one #2 use, my pump won't stop running and toilet appears clogged. Thought maybe I had the filter in backwards. I did pull out the little packing plugs that were in both ends...
On another Org I belong to,they have a "Like" selection on posted threads that you can select for obvious reasons.It is a nice feature I find because it saves me typing something if all I want to do is give a poster a quick thumbs up,etc while reading thru the threads and comments.You can see an...
Can anyone please tell me how to remove the approx 2.5 ft x 6 inch vinyl cushion pads mounted on the inside sides of the boat below the radar arch? I need to get them off for another project.Thanks
In my 310 I have 3 switches on the small bulkhead to the upper right of the sink. They are marked DC Lgts,AC Lgts,and Fan. I know that somehow the boat uses converted ac power to run DC lights when on shorepower.What I don't know is does this automatically happen whenever the ac converter is...
