Anyone have any experience with 2002 MAN 1050 engines? Are the non CRM MANS something to stay away from? Also, I hear a lot about the maintenance costs, such as your 1,000 hour and 2,000 services. I use to work on a cummins QSC500 doing the general services (Oil changes, filter changes, engine...

A buddy of mine just had new motor replacements(4.3L mercruisers) on his 35’ Monterey. Originally had a 2 barrel and then upgraded to the 4 barrel while doing the motor replacements. After getting it all set and on the first sea trial, the boat topped it at 4400 rpms but did not get the boat to...

Regardless of the power on the boat as of now, with an exact replacement, the Monterey should be getting up on plane with no problem like it did before correct? which leads me to thing there’s a mechanical issue when installing the new ones. Any ideas on what to look for

Hi guys thank you for the replies. The new motors are an exact replacement of old ones. We are running two 4.7 Mercruisers I/O V6. The new motors are running at 4400 RPMs while the old ones usually ranged from 4500-4800RPMs. Not to far off. That seems normal but the boat does not plane. it is...

A friend of mine just had two new inboard mercruiser motors installed into his boat. Off the top of my head i cant remember the exact size motor but they have the 4 barrel carburetor in them. It’s running on a 33 foot boat. When they went for the test drive the motors don’t seem to want to get...

Quick question. How did you go about getting that curved trim piece near the stairs to fit so perfectly? Any special product you used?

Hey guys, I had taken up my carpet in the salon of my 44 sedan bridge and was looking to possibly add hardwood flooring instead of having another carpet remade because the other one was junky. The only concerns I have with this is how to locate the same (factory) hardwoods already used so they...

Does anyone have a tutorial, instructions, or a video link to how to properly set the valves on a QSC 500? I believe every 500 hours they should be done. Just looking to get some more research and background knowledge on how it is done before I dive into it. Any tips and tricks are helpful too...

I’m going to be removing my heat exchangers to service them and would like to know if the cores come out the same way as they do on the aftercoolers? Also, how do you go about soaking the oil and fuel cooler in the solution? is there a core in that assembly as well, if so how do you remove it...

Over the summer I had called Direct Tv tiring to set up my Tracvision and Direct TV boxes. After not getting anything accomplished I was told by the rep that this Tracvision technology will be outdated very soon and it's not worth putting all the money into your system to fix it and that it will...

I recently bought a 2007 44 sea ray sedan bridge and it was equipped with the Direct Tv and the Tracvision M1 Satellite dome. Everything was working well at the previous owner's dock. After bringing it home to our marina it didn't seem to work anymore. The previous owner was saying something...

I have an older e120 Raymarine display and I'm looking to upgrade. Is there a compatible way of upgrading just the unit to a newer one instead of upgrading the radar and all other components. Maybe a new unit with some wire conversion harnesses?

Should I be releasing the pressure prior to blowing out the system and flushing antifreeze?

I do both. I blow the lines out then circulate antifreeze through everything. Should i still drain it then?

My buddy was telling me about a black bladder relatively close to my water pump that helps with the water pressure in the boat. He said that i should drain the pressure and water out of it and that there should be like a bike tube spout coming out of it that allows u to release the pressure and...

Is it safe/recommended to flush fresh water through the engine (Salt Water) before you put antifreeze in them and put them away for the winter? Also what would be the best way of doing that?

Hey guys quick question I had. What do you all recommend is the best way to properly and completey winterize the boats A/C system and water system? I hear people blow out their water system, how does one go about doing that?

I recently bought my boat. I plan on winterizing the boat by myself this year instead of (Bust Out Another Thousand) (B.O.A.T). I have gotten all the part numbers for Fuel Filers, Oil Filters, and Racor filters. Quick questions regarding the type of engine oil and capacity it takes. I changed my...
