Thank you very much for your advice on the filters.

This is right from him. He is a very valued and reputable marine mechanic:
"WIX marine filters have a stronger spring to keep the filter working
instead of opening to a by pass mode that higher rpms bring."
I've run automotive style filters in my boat motors for years without issues, however, I changed my ways after talking to him.
I'm just trying to remove the black plastic T-handles from my shifters. I was contemplating changing them to the nice gold shifter knobs that are on newer sea Rays. I removed the machine screw and nut, but the plastic handle will not let go. What am I doing wrong here besides tampering with my classic 390?
I never taken an infared reading but according to the water temp gauges on my 454's the port side runs 175 and the starbord runs 160. SeaRay put me in touch with a guy named Rocky at Mercrusier and he said 170 to 180 is fine for the big blocks. That was 10 years ago and I have had no issues.
Ken, I'd like to do the same modification. Are you referring to the "golden balls"? Do they fit on our shifter??? ...and, where did you buy them?
Thank you :smt001
Can somebody point me in the right direction for aftermarket exhaust screens for my boat? I am concerned about muskrats sinking my boat.
