Sorry, to confuse everyone. Here is the list of things I have done. Along with yes, the impeller in the transom stern drive surprised me, that I finally put it together it was not connected to the engine, that the previous owner, did install the bravo raw seawater pump and that is the only thing...
I needed an inboard flush thing that goes over the raw water intake because the impeller is not connected to the engine the water going into the impeller is just cooling the stern drive. I checked all the interior passageways they are clear. I replace the water pump, but not the raw water pump...
Yes, that’s the boat, and there’s no scoring. Here is something I think I missed too. I have a closed cooling system, when I hook the muffs to the stern drive it is driving water just fine, because it is pumping out a tube in the top of the stern drive, with great force, so the impeller is good...
So sports fans. I have replaced the impeller, the water pump, the sensor units, and the thermostat, and replaced the original wet joint manifold/spacer/and riser with a brand new Dry Joint Manifold manifold/spacer/and riser. Also replaced the plugs and cables, while I had the manifolds off, so...
folks, because I am a rocket scientist, I should of look at the old manifold, and seeing that I didn't take the old fitting out, reused it because it is perfectly fine. When you're way to focused and miss the forest for the trees.
I ordered Dry Joint Manifolds from Hardin Marine for my Mercruiser 5.0L Efi engine. First, this manifold requires the 3" spacer between it and the 7-degree riser. The bolts that were sent by the manufacturer with about 1" too long. So they didn't secure all three pieces together. So I found some...
After removing the manifolds and risers they are completely shot on both sides, and yes the existing manifolds are plumbed but the interior walls are so rusted out, I need to replace the manifolds and risers. thank you, I found some great options at Hardin Marine online. It is pricy. I will...
Can I upgrade the wet joint manifolds on the 1999 Mercruiser 5.0 efi to a dry joint manifold? Is this recommended? Are there any issues I should be aware of? My wet joint manifolds are shot.
I bought a 1999 Sea Ray Express Cruise with the Mercruiser 5.0 EFI. It has a closed cooling system. I have been working on it for a while and changed the zincs, impeller, oil, and water separator filter. Topped off the radiator fluid. I hooked the water hose up to the stern drive seems to be...
