I am trying to fix my starboard wiper. I have removed the light in the ceiling to see wiper motor. There appears to be screws holding the wiper motor to the deck. I cannot access these screws at present time. I figured the best way was to remove the ceiling panel in that area to gain full access...

As of late I seem to notice my port engine has developed a distinct whining noise as it is running. I thought it might be the alternator but when I listened to the engine with a stethoscope ,the alternator was quiet but the cool fuel unit seemed to be emitting the whine. The engine is missing...

Sorry but I am not thrilled with the new site. Search feature for past postings seems weak. I normally typed in a search for something and would get lots of data.At times it was bringing up some irrelevant posts by word association but that was filtered by me. As an example, I searched drive...

Hi all. I am having a heck of a bad go with my port engine and need some questions answered. I have had some water intrusion on the inner port and starboard cylinders resulting in valve damage. At a minimum I obviously have to pull the heads and repair. When the problem raised its' ugly head, I...

I am changing the tranny oil cooler on my 2000 310 SA 350 Mag/MPI V drive. I noticed the spec on the oil cooler said it was good up to 150psi. Is the transmission oil pressure going thru the cooler greater than that? I hope I got the right cooler.

Commencing re attachment of heads on my 2000 5.7L 350 mag/mpi. Is there a substitute torgueing table I can use instead of this BS TTY method. Thought I had all the torque wrenches I needed but apparently NOT. lol Any help please?

Removed my heads on my port engine to fix a valve issue.Looking at gaskets and of course the prices vary. Do I need OEM or is FELPRO or Sierra a good type to use also.Want to use the best I can but don't know if there are any real differences in the quality.Thanks for any feedback.

I recently developed a problem on my port engine. I could see unburnt fuel in my exhaust at idle power settings. Seemed to work fine though. I ran the normal gauntlet of full tune-up,including all new plugs,wires,etc. Still had fuel spoting on the water thru exhaust. I spent hours reading...

I was wondering if anyone has a cross reference part number from mercruiser to GM. My engines are 2000 350 Mag/mpi with v drive. I need to replace a couple injectors and was wondering if they are less expensive if purchased from GM. Was also wondering if these parts would be ok due to the fact...

I am confused. Can someone clarify what anccillaries are powered by the main battery switches. In my boat I have two mains ,on/off selections. I will call the Port #1 and Starboard #2. Port has one battery,SB has two. I believe that when I select #1 on,it only powers the port engine,no...

Hi folks,I need some help please. I recently installed an amplifier to my stereo.I wired it up as per all forum discussion and pointers and the manufacturers direction. I used the 2 house batteries or starboard engine batteries to hook my 4 guage wires direct to amp. The stereo works great...

The passengers helm bench seat on my boat felt sponchie in the backrest so I decided to take it apart to see if there was something I could do.

In case anyone is looking for exhaust manifolds, elbows and risers, I just purchased two complete sets for my 2000 310 SA. I really shopped around and at first was sick to my stomach over what these parts could cost. Fortunately, I came across MERCEXHAUST .com and they had a sale on and still...

Twice, in the last couple months, I have blown the in-line 30 amp fuse that connects the original battery charger to the batteries. My battery levels are all good. Is this a sign the charger is on its way out or could it be another issue. I normally leave it on while docked with batteries on.

Changed my vacuflush sani-filter the other day and was un-sure if it was directional at all? Shortly after change-out, ie one #2 use, my pump won't stop running and toilet appears clogged. Thought maybe I had the filter in backwards. I did pull out the little packing plugs that were in both ends...

Can anyone please tell me how to remove the approx 2.5 ft x 6 inch vinyl cushion pads mounted on the inside sides of the boat below the radar arch? I need to get them off for another project.Thanks

In my 310 I have 3 switches on the small bulkhead to the upper right of the sink. They are marked DC Lgts,AC Lgts,and Fan. I know that somehow the boat uses converted ac power to run DC lights when on shorepower.What I don't know is does this automatically happen whenever the ac converter is...
