    12 volt to 19 volt converter

    to bad you got one that is 19v. I built a ice shack last winter and went on the hunt specifically for 120volt tv's that have a 12volt brick. I found some rca's (rled2445a) and some Haiers are set up conveniently this way ($150 cad). cut the brick off and attach direct to your battery and viola...

    What did you find wrong?

    Just before leaving the house, I flushed out the fresh water holding tank and let it drain out the transom drain. The drain couldn't keep up so the bilge pump kicked in and blew the end of the hose off. The white plastic hose seems to have shrunk in length, so I give it a tint tiny tug in order...

    TBI 7.4 v belt converting to a Johnson/Jabsco crank pump

    Yes that's exactly what I mean, the holes are way bigger than the bolts so I can shift the pump off of centre probably a quarter to half an inch any direction. I do like your idea of making up collars to take up the slack. Is your set-up using the aluminum pulley? Iam asking because there is...

    TBI 7.4 v belt converting to a Johnson/Jabsco crank pump

    Hi guys, I had plans this year to swap out the very restricted access mercruiser sea water pump to a crank mounted pump. I bought the Fb-6 Johnson pump or whatever, but I failed to realize that my crank pulley does not have the ever important locating dowels. I know if I just willy nilly it, the...

    Cannot find the gear lube oil leak???

    If it's anywhere near the bellows, I would suspect the input shaft seal of the drive. If it is weeping hopefully that's all that's wrong, otherwise it could be a tell tale sign the bearing behind it is loose or toast too.

    VHF Handhelds

    I know you said you are not afraid to spend some money for quality, and waterproofing would be nice, but here's one that I have, the Baofeng uv5, and its well worth the price. These radios are 5 watts and self programmable. I bought a two pack set that comes with the software to program the...

    tandem or triple axle?

    My trailer beams are 3" x 5" galvanized square tubing, 1/8" material I think?

    tandem or triple axle?

    I converted my tandem to a tri-axle because the weight capacity wasn't there with two 3500lb axles and a 270. To me, it was a good choice for more than just capacity. I can back into the smaller launches and keep most of the wheels on concrete and not falling off the edge and also have a easier...

    Freshwater cooling coversion and 3" spacer block water flow passages

    Ok, I see were this is coming from. So maybe 10 degrees more? I run 170 most of the time so I will take my chances. Back on track, can any one enlighten me on how a standard 3" exhaust spacer gets full surrounded cooling in all 4 ports when a block off gasket is used on either the top or bottom ?

    Freshwater cooling coversion and 3" spacer block water flow passages

    Sorry what? I have throttle body efi, not Mpi. What would be the difference if I plan on running the engine at the same temperature.

    Freshwater cooling coversion and 3" spacer block water flow passages

    Hi there, I am doing a raw water to FULL fresh water cooling conversion on a 7.4LX. I have seen in the Mercury bulletins that they recommend putting the block off gasket between the manifold and the spacer. And not between the spacer and elbow? I was hoping to put the block off gasket on top so...

    Having a ventilation/cavitation problem.

    My 270 single 7.4 came with a bravo 1 when I bought it used. I had a lot of cavitation, in turns, off the line, you name it. From a stop you pin the throttle it would go right to 4000 rpm and stay there until top speed. So I went to a four blade prop to give it more grab. This made the problem...

    Possible vapor lock

    If it is indeed tbi, look to see if fuel is spraying out the injectors (already mentioned) as it turns over.if it is, unplug the plastic clips to both injectors (takes 2 seconds) to stop the fuel flow and try starting it. If it fires, you have the same problem I did, which is that it was dumping...

    Mid-90's 270 Sundancer Thread

    This is the window trim I used, it snapped in nicely. But as luck would have it I ended up 1' short , so make sure you get 26' to do the entire winshield . http://m.ebay.ca/itm/141516387240?_mwBanner=1

    I guess you could call it "progress"

    My Tbi dumps gas in immediately when the motor starts to roll over and tends to flood. Then I used to go pop the hatches and pull the wires to the injectors and she fires up after about ten seconds of cranking. Nowadays after I shut my engine down, I open the throttle wide open again to allow...
