My boys are out on a trip this week and ran into some problems. They were on a flawless 4 hour trip when they arrived at their destination they noticed a hissing or helicopter like sound from the engine. When they made it to the dock the engine was running rough. Upon trying to restart the...
Has anyone purchased an engine from Small Outboards .com? They also go under the name AFA Marine out of Florida. They seem to have reasonable prices for small motors and great deals from a lease program in Canada. I could only find one favorable review for them, no bad reviews. Has anyone...
I am looking for a replacement engine control unit (ECU) for a 1999 Mercruiser V8 engine with a 7.4L, 454 V8 engine with MEFI III, engine serial number OL312956.
I have a Bravo III drive with a collapsed water hose in the transom housing. I know there are special tools required to change the hose. Can the hose be changed out without removing any other parts of the transom housing? I have the Mercruiser manual, it is not clear on that topic.

Each time I refuel I have an issue with the fuel shooting up from the filler neck with great force. I flow the gas very slowly and still I get fuel shooting up from the filler neck each time. If I ask one of my crew to gently rock the boat while I am refueling it does not happen as often. It...
