Hello everyone, I have a 1993 Overnighter and need to replace the drive trim motor. I want to purchase on ebay, but I am having trouble locating the part number. I have a Bravo drive. Any help will be greatly appreciated:smt100 Thanks

Yea, I too was having fun until the adults showed up.. :smt021

I just hate that type of attitude. This man just makes a comment, and Odyssey acts like he just insulted his wife.. Then does not drop the subject.. Guess we are all a bit sensitive since boat season is over for most on this thread.. Mine has been over for a few motnhs due to bad manifolds and...

My thoughts exactly!! DAMN

Sad story.. Read about this on Sunday, weather here in Florida was pretty nasty that Saturday.. Can't imagine why they would have 8 people on a small boat like that and go fishing with small boat advisory..

Thanks guys.,. Looks like I got another project in my hands... but whats new.. This forum kicks major A$$.. and so do its members..

another quick question.. I want to take it out this weekend.. Am I harming the engine by taking it out if maybe the manifolds do need to be changed? If I keep it at low RPM I can keep the temp low on the engine.. I would have to maintain a slow boring speed but rather that then nothing..

The impeller was changed 7 months ago, and there is no thermostat currently installed. Before the service that boat was not running well at all. Top speed was 18 knots at 3.5K RPM engine was nto reving higher then that. There was no overheating at all// Motor actually stayed very cool. Obviously...

I had the engine fully serviced about 7 months ago. Replaced impellers, starter, all belts, wires, and rebuilt kit for carb. the boat started to run very strong but now its over heating. My mechanic told me that the risers, and manifolds are the original ones that came with the boat from...

Hello all, This weekend im going to start pimping my boat.. :smt038 I have had it going for 2 years now, and have never seen the gell coat shiny:smt089 I have been doing allot of reading and have mixed reviews. The gell coat is oxidated pretty good. The paint is very faded. Want to know what...

Hello and good morning to all.. My boat has been over heating.. I wanted to remove and check the risers.. Anything I should look for? I don't know what to expect once I remove but what are some things I should be looking for once I do? Its a 454 I/O. Im assuming that all i can check for is...

Mine is also cooled by raw water.. Ric.. quick question where does your meter mark the 17p temp? Mine marks 170 3/4 of the weay before hitting the max of 200

Will do.. Thank all you gusy for the quick tips.. Thiws weekend I am going to install the thermo and see if it improves..

Thanks guys for the post.. I watched a video on youtube, and the process does seem to be simple.. Like you said its just a matter of getting those old rusted bolts out without breaking them.. Also thanks for the link.. Great help.. Question what is the normal running temp for the 454 at around...

Well this weekend I went to the Marina to change the thermostat.. To my surprise it did not have one.. I left it as it was, and now im thinking that the problem is going to be with the Manifolds. I took it out this weekend, and again at over 3.5K RPM it starts to hit the 170 mark which is 3/4...

Hello All, Can anyone tell me where I can download for free the manual for the merc 454 I/O I need to change the manifolds, and wanted to see if its a DIY job. Mechanic wants $600.00 just for labor to replace both manifolds.. Is this something that I can do myself?

The drive is a alpha one drive.. Something I should have mentioned on my original post is that when I let off on the throttle after I see it go over the half way mark, the engine cools off rather quickly.. I mean in just a few seconds of dropping the RPM form 3.5 or 4K back down to about 3K or...

thank you.. I was thinking the same changing the thermo, and see what happens.. Question tho, the needle going that high like mentioned does indicate the motor is heating up more then normail right? Sorry fairly new to boating so im not sure what the normal temp are, but im sure if it passes...

Hello Everyone, and good morning.. :smt100 I have a question regarding the normal running temp for a mercruiser 454 7.4L I have a 24 Searay OV.. I Just had the motor pulled out a few months ago, and did a major maintnance including replacing the Impeller.. When at 3K RPM or less the temp gauge...

Hi to all, I have a 1993 searay 240 overnighter and I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the floor is all fiberglas or does it have wood beams, or any wood on the flooring.. reason I ask is because I have termits in the cabin and was wondering what are the chances if any that they are...
