    Motor replacement

    I have to replace my Mercruiser 888 (1977 302 188hp) in my '77 SRV 220. I have located a good used Mercruiser 888 (302, 188hp) that runs strong and is in good shape. My question is: It is out of a 1977 or 1979 Bayliner---will it fit in my SRV220? Shouldn't it just "bolt right in"? My first...

    GT40 heads

    I am still trying to source replacement heads for my '77 Mercruiser 888 (302) that had recent freeze damage. I have already heard that 351W heads are an option, but another local supplier tells me I should be putting GT40 heads on instead. Does anyone know if the GT40 (or GT40P) heads will work...

    I thought that you could use automotive heads and that the only difference was to make sure to use a marine head gasket. In tracking down replacement heads, I was told the following by a vendor: "all the ford marine small blocks come with the guide and posi-lock style rockers. You would have...

    Cylinder heads on '77 Mercruiser 888 (302)

    Would these likely be 302 heads or 351 heads? I just assumed 302 heads, but someone told me they often used the 351 heads on these....how can I tell which I have?

    Water circulation

    Put on the muffs and fired up the boat for the first time this season but something does not look right--the boat was definitely taking water in thru the muffs, but water was coming out the drain (plug was out) and also being pumped out by the bilge pump. There was no water in the bilge before...

    Stern drive stuck in up position

    My stern drive in my '77 SRV 220 is stuck in the full up position after being stored that way this winter. Tried standing on unit while trying to lower it--no luck. Shafts are not stuck/froze, I loosened the hydraulic lines a little (to allow pressure to release) and was able to push the unit...
