    Can you replace a bravo 3 impeller while the boat is in the water

    I just changed my manifolds and learned the hard way that I needed to plug the hose to the water pump. Access was minimal and extremely difficult to maneuver and get off since you can’t apply a lot of force, but other than thAt, plugging it only takes a few seconds. I used wooden dowlels, and...

    Well i tried and tried to start it and it didn’t start. I thought it was because I messed with the electric fuel valve...and then today, it started up! Let it run for about ten mins, and sounded great. Got out on the water and once again it wouldn’t start. I shut the boat off, then it started...

    Electric Fuel Valve 06 Sea Ray 290DA

    Thanks. If NORM is on the left, I would assume it’s turned completely counterclockwise until vertical, rather than clockwise, correct?

    Risers Manifolds Elbows - Mercruiser 5.0 MPI

    You too bud, thanks for stopping by for the intro.....got everything on, but I broke a line to the the flame arrestor while lifting out the last manifold. Not sure how serious that is...just a plasic piece that goes to the head, so I think 8 can just repair it. I had no energy left to hook up...

    Electric Fuel Valve 06 Sea Ray 290DA

    Anyone able to clarify what position a Parker electric fuel valve is supposed to be in? I saw a few threads and understand it should be in normal and not bypass, but not sure if that means it’s fully clockwise or counterclockwise. I was messing with two of mine when I couldn’t get my generator...

    Generator shutting down

    Where is this tank selection valve? I might be having the same problem on my 290. I messed with the fuel valve manual knobs and now I can’t be certain which position they were in. I changed fuel filter and impeller...was working fine before changing them.

    Can anyone with an 06 290 w/Merc 5.0s let me know the size of your risers? I’m about to tackle this job and I currently have what appears to be a 3” and 1.7” spacer on top of each other on both engines. Merc rep ran both engine SNs and said one called for 6” and the other called for 4.7” and the...

    Thanks Cincy - you always help me out! Makes me feel better about the situation...right when I finished a storm hit us, so I was rushed to wrap everything up. Will give it some more tries this week and hopefully there’s no problems. Thanks again!

    Well, if anyone is still out there on this thread - I am not heading to Korea anymore, so keeping the boat for the time being. I did some Kohler 5E generator maintenance today. Change the oil, the fuel filter, anode and impeller. If any of you have a 2006 model with the same setup as me, its...

    Risers Manifolds Elbows - Mercruiser 5.0 MPI

    No idea how I would know that; I am going to go with what Mercury rep told the parts section at the marina, which was to go with the 6" as long as I have the clearance. He said you can always go larger, but not smaller....hope that is sound advice. The larger quote for parts was due to them...

    Risers Manifolds Elbows - Mercruiser 5.0 MPI

    According to Mercury, one engine I have shows OEM from factory with a 6" riser and the other at 4.7". He said sometimes this happens and recommended going with 6" as long as I have the clearance. That's what I am going to try, so hopefully my engine hatch will close, fingers crossed (not sure...

    Risers Manifolds Elbows - Mercruiser 5.0 MPI

    I have tried but maybe I’m looking in the wrong place... every place has options for different sizes. My engine SNs are 0W625775 and 0W374103 if someone can answer this.

    I supposedly have a 1.7” riser on top of a 3” one. Some thing doesn’t seem right with this setup but the photo clearly shows it.
