    my Drive Tilt Ram is “mercury 98704” Can a mercury 98704–1” be used for replacement?

    When I was changing the hydraulic hoses, one of the Rams where stripped out… mystery over. The number on the Ram is “mercury 98704” I see one on eBay that says “mercury 98704–1” looks exactly the same… Can’t find any info that says it’s not… I assume that was the first one made now there’s a...

    new slip that has two pulleys and no line, how to hook up weighted spring line information? How much weight?

    I’ve rented a new slip that has two pulleys at the top of the second set of polls but no line. I have a 6500lb 25 foot sea ray Sundancer. I want to keep the stern off of the bulkhead and I have no idea how to set this weighted Springline set up up? How do you calculate the counter weight to use...

    Getting a constant leak into the water, Boats out and cant find leak

    ordered everything, the Trim connector assembly kit, new hoses from the pump, and new hoses from the connector to the two rams, I guess I'll block the drive in the up position, drain the fluid, and go from there...

    Getting a constant leak into the water, Boats out and cant find leak

    The drive will stay up all day. if it was leaking why would it not come down if the pressure was lost through a leak? but there is water in the reservoir and missing fluid in the reservoir. how Elise can the oil get into the bay? I called a mechanic friend an he said its probably the Aluminum...

    Getting a constant leak into the water, Boats out and cant find leak

    Hi All: I am getting a constant leak into the water even after the boat sitting in the water for a week without being used it's still oozing. I replaced the metal braided hoses after last season and the boats out again. The Rams have no evidence of leakage. The unit works fine. I ran the dive up...

    Engine starts to miss / rough after 5-10 minutes with gas odor after 15

    Thank you for all the information on the phasing… Also as I said, in a previous post seems to be some issues with Merccruiser shunt device not working and doesn’t put the boat into service mode… there were no codes for any other issues… But being in 1998 ? I guess items are limited… I’m going to...

    Engine starts to miss / rough after 5-10 minutes with gas odor after 15

    Hi, The fuel regulator is not adjustable. It’s a big spring. Serial # 0L010035 I was trying to check my fuel pressure today with an adapter kit that I got from Auto Zone but the TBI fuel connector was the wrong one, and it only did was cross thread, my TBI fuel intake line… I was getting about...

    Engine starts to miss / rough after 5-10 minutes with gas odor after 15

    Never heard of “Was the distributor phased when it was installed? If not correctly in phase that also can cause high speed cross fire and symptoms like he is seeing” Can you explain how this is done?

    Engine starts to miss / rough after 5-10 minutes with gas odor after 15

    I checked the spray pattern with the timing lite and they where perfect cone shape. I checked the Resistance of the old and the new ignition coil both ther about the same. In installed the old one with same results. I ran the boat with the hatch open and heard a crackling sounds…

    Engine starts to miss / rough after 5-10 minutes with gas odor after 15

    This doesn’t work? The new injectors, checking ignition coil… I was thinking of doing a “leak down test”

    Engine starts to miss / rough after 5-10 minutes with gas odor after 15

    Yes, that’s the way I’m headed now… I filled the tank with very expensive premium fuel… Change the filter/water separator… I clean the throttlebody and change leaking gasket… Which is causing engine to race… change the IAC , and the TPS…

    Engine starts to miss / rough after 5-10 minutes with gas odor after 15

    I did do a compression test before I replaced my manifolds and Risers and it all checked out fine at 165lbs plus or minus 5lbs after 4 compression strokes. I did this early in the year due to water in the cylinder, and none in the oil. The water was due to the exhaust shutter falling out of...

    Engine starts to miss / rough after 5-10 minutes with gas odor after 15

    Call High mean by “under load” Is driving the boat not just sitting in the slip. Than it runs up and down fine… I have a timing light to be able to check the spray pattern. It needs atomization properly, air and fuel, if it isn’t than raw fuel can runs into the cylinder… that’s what I’ve been...
