Update. I submitted it to the insurance and they covered the cost to rebuild the outdrive. I didn't dig in to why they covered it, but I didn't try to provide a cause of the damage either. I really don't know and the cause may have been that I hit something submerged that didn't cause any...

Hi everyone, While cruising home a couple weeks ago my outdrive locked up about half way home. The mechanic says it's shot. I am wondering if I should get the one I have rebuilt or get a referbushed one? Are there any recomendations on how much I should be paying for these options...

Just a late coming follow up, I found where the leak was coming from and thought that should post it here. It was coming from a loose spot in the rub rail on the starboard side just out side of the bunk. I sealed it with some silicone and it has been holding the water out. Thanks for leads.

Would it be a crime to leave the scene of a running you boat aground? Forgetting about the alcohol and all, would it be a crime to leave?

Hi all, I have had my boat for three years now and am tired of seeing the a few dead gages on the dash. Right now I am tackling the speedometer, I know what the problem is I just don't know the solution. At first I thought that it was clogged pitot tube after cleaning and getting no...

So I took a look at my carb yesterday and compared it too the ones displayed in the MerCruiser Repair Manual and it looks like the Holley 4 bbl listed in there, but I could not find any model or manufacturing info on it. Would a rebuild of my existing Holley carb fix the issues I am seeing...
