I am experiencing a tapping or knocking noise coming from my port side of my starboard engine, to the rear of the manifold. The engine runs fine, has power (we ran for two hours to get home from our 4th of July trip). temp, oil pressure are normal and oil is clean. I originally thought a valve...

Welcome, I am located in Frog Mortar as well at Parkside Marina. hack4alivin - You mentioned the Wild Duck. Over the years I have seen many operators come and go with no improvement (probably worse every year). I have always thought this place should be a huge attraction to Middle River...

No smell, just steam underload. No steam at idle.

Tried, no luck. I returned bulbs to Superbright today and purchased new ones from Sailorsams and will try those.

I tried superbright and ordered dual contact bayonet, plugged them in and nothing.

No problems. Do you have a sound shield around yours? They are very quiet but i was still thinking of building one. Maybe just doubling up the sound proofing on the underside of the deck.

Rondds, I did get my ignition parts from partsfortechs, I have spare board, cap, rotor, coil. I have only used marine specialist once for an oil sensor and the heat manifold sensor. which turns out to be a sensor you can get at Home Depot for a water heater at home. I've also talke dto...

It actually isn't a sensor, there is nothing electrical on the governor. What I think happens is there are two fly-weights inside and my guess is that with sitting all winter they probably get stuck in a position (especially if the oil is low) and until the oil lubricates it again it doesnt...

Has anyone made a sound shield for an older Quicksilver genny. If so what did you use to make it?

Well I got it going, I was having the same problem as last year with the governor arm. It wouldn't old the resistance. I checked the oil level in there and it was low, filled it up, tried to start it and fired right up. Ran it for over an hour.

For the third year in a row I am having trouble getting my Quicksilver 7.5k started. Unlike the previous years that required me to replace fuel pump, govenor, distributer, carb, fuel filter and plugs because of either no spark or overspeed and shutdown issues. This year it started up, ran for...

My engines are FWC. My problem my be that they are not getting enough water while underway. I replace impellors every other year whether they need it or not so I don't believe that is a problem. Heat exchangers were cleaned 1 1/2 years ago, and they actually didn't even need it. It will be...

I have twin 454's and steam as well. My water flow is good and my risers and manifolds were replaced last year. It will steam all season long and only under load. I have also asked this question before. I am hoping it is normal, otherwise I would think it is the head gaskets. But I have...

I replaced wires, caps and plugs the beginning of this year. I did not do the coil, maybe it is time to. T-stats are new. The higher temp engine is the port, no water heater connection, i've been told the engine (in my case the starboard engine and the one running at 260) connected to the...

For over a year now I have been trying to decide if the steam I get from my exhaust is normal or if something is wrong with my engines. I have 1992 FWC Mercs with lift mufflers. The steam dissappates within 10' - 15' behind the boat and is only there while under load (I typically only run at...

Do a search for this "ALGONAC PROPELLER PULLER". Pulls 3 or 4 blade props. Did mine yesterday with it.

Do you know any of those suppliers?

Does anyone have any idea on where to get replacement breakers for the main distribution panel in a 1992 370 express. I am looking for the Water Heater rocker switch. The original is made by Carlingswitch, Inc but currently they do not stock them. It is a 15a with a trip of 20.25.

Before cutting anything make sure the sensors and unit work. I installed the same this winter and ending sending 3 sensors and the unit back because the unit could not "see" the sensors. After two "go arounds" with Lowrance the unit finally has been working. Although I already had to clean...

Heat exchangers were cleaned last year, so I doubt that is it. The starboard engine goes to the heater so maybe that is why that is going below 160 at idle like sdw1 said. Since the thermo is easy and cheap to change maybe thats what I will change first.
