I have a small leak from a raw water hose on my 5.0l MPI. On the forward, starboard corner of my starboard engine, there is a box that has a fuel line coming into it on the forward end, as well as raw water in and out on the aft end. It is a black box and I can't figure out from the Mercury...

This is the way out of the inlet where my marina is to the main channel. As you can see, we have to go under a bridge. Not all of he openings are navigable (depth). In fact, only one of them has markings indicating where the boats are designated to transit through. There is one or two...

I have twin Mercruiser 5.0l MPIs with Bravo III drives. I have recorded engine data for trend evaluation and hopeful early recognition of any issues. I take this data on my run up to downtown Knoxville (usually for Boomsday) every year. This run is a little over an hour and I take the data...

I have found this document online in one single place. It does not have the images. I called Kohler (it is not on their website under the technical information and they were not very helpful) and they referred me to a local distributor who is over an hour away. I only want to be able to view...

Why do you need terminating resistors on the unused ends of harnesses, or are they, in fact, needed at all? :huh: Thanks in advance!

I am usually pretty good at finding them, but I can't find the manual I need. Can anybody help me out? I need the manual that comes with a harness (84-889232). Does anybody have it or can anyone help me find it? Thanks!

I replaced my System View System with a Vessel View System and am selling the SC 5000 Setup. Included are the Sytem View Unit (SC 5000), Trim Ring, Sum Cover, Mounting Screws, Owner's/User's Manual, System Harness, and Temperature Sensor. All equipment is in excellent, working condition - no...

Well, here is my attempt to help others with a writeup. Here is my story, feel free to use it as you see fit. Many thanks to the people at Mercury Marine (I called them three times and each time I called, I spoke with either a single person who had the answers I sought or a couple of people who...

What is the best tool to use to cleanly cut the simulated wood panels on the dash? Jigsaw? Rotozip? Cutoff wheel? Dull kitchen knife? Judo chop? Seriously... What is the best tool to use? I know to use tape to minimize splintering.

Well, after looking for months and months, I finally pulled the trigger and bought a Vessel View display and setup. Last year, I bought the System View and had it installed on my 290. I like it a lot, but I think I will like the color display more. I have Jason78's writeup from when he...

My stbd engine has low water pressure compared to the port engine. The sensors have been swapped and the issue stays with the STBD engine. New impellers were installed at the end of last season in both engines and fin pieces were gone from both. (I never had any temperature issues all...

I currently tie up the boat with 4 lines, one from each corner to a cleat on the dock directly across from each point on the boat. The dock is floating and the boat only moves with wake (usually small as we are off the main channel and my boat is protected by ~4 other docks between it and the...

I am beginning the planning for a week to week and a half cruise from home in Knoxville down to Chattanooga for a couple of days for the Riverbend festival, then possibly down to Guntersville for a day or two, then back to Chattanooga for a day or two, and then back home to Knoxville. the crew...

As I was cruising the other week (at ~7:30 in the morning) to get the boat hauled out for a trim sender replacement, the windshield fogged up (it was in the 40s out). The obvious question is how do I prevent it from doing so (I haven't tried Rain-X anti-fog yet)? Does anyone have any tips...

All, I have searched and searched and have come up empty. I have tried the stealership and they can't find the same part for replacement either. What I need is a replacement faucet for my galley. For some reason, the handle separated from the pull-out hose. It does not appear to be able to...

OK. I know what will be said. No, I didn't write the code down. Here's what happened: We were sitting around talking after watching Labor Day fireworks at Boomsday in Knoxville. It was about midnight. We were on the hook with the gennie (Kohler 5ECD) running (had been since we left the...

All, I have decided that I want to have a Patriot Cruise here in Knoxville. For those that don't know, it is where people donate their time and fuel to take our wounded warriors and their families out on our boats to show our gratitude for their sacrifices. I can think of nothing more to show...

http://news.yahoo.com/navys-oldest-commissioned-warship-sail-again-195935576.html I'd love to be there to be near (definitely not alongside her) an American icon. I encourage anyone in the area to be out there to see her sail and take pictures. I am sure this event will be amazing. I'd give...

OK. I have read a lot on this MMSI stuff and I have to ask again to be sure. Is there any way to put in a new MMSI number in my Northstar NS-100? It seems that someone (PO, selling dealer, etc.) put in 12345678 in my unit. I tried to go down to the boat and input my new number (thinking that...
