I've just removed my Bravo 3 outdrive as the first step in swapping engines. While it's out, is there recommended maintenance I should do other than just seals? Thanks!

Looking for wisdom from the helpful all-knowing among you... 2004 260DA, 350 Mag MPI, 550 fresh water hours. Purchased two years ago. Had a hydrolock problem last month, and found problems with my intake and one head. Decided to do it right, and replaced most major components above the block...

Haven't heard from any of you about this, so I'll provide an update. First I confirmed that I had a good spark. The engine turns over. When I turn on the key, the electric fuel pump is silent. When I jump power directly to the fuel pump, it runs. I've changed the fuel/water filter, and the...

All hands on deck! Please help me diagnose a bizarre problem... Started off on a beautiful cruise this weekend, boat running perfectly for hours. While at a moderate cruising speed, the engine suddenly died. Upon restarting, it would run for 2-3 seconds, then die again. The obvious things...

Just a follow-up for those that may encounter this problem. I was able to solve this by using anchor bolts with flat washers - easy and solid!

Thanks to all of you for the good advice. I have been accumulating a collection of questions that may seem silly to experienced boaters, but I'll ask anyway... 1. I replaced my old props with new SS 4-blade ones. Should I keep the old ones onboard, with appropriate tools, in case of...

My project is going well so far - I removed the starboard manifold and was able to swap out the starter fairly easily. I'm looking at new manifold options now. I want to go with a quality brand, which seems to be either Barr or Osco. I'm a bit confused as to the different choices of riser...

FYI - the impeller was like new, so no plans to change it.

Once again, thanks for the input. I've removed the starboard hoses (red & black) and eliminated the flusher. I now have better access to the starter. I've also seen recommendations to remove the manifold to make things even easier, and as I researched that option I discovered that this might...

I'm in Central Maine (Oakland) which has many fantastic lakes to cruise - but I prefer to trailer down to Gardiner and run down the Kennebec River to the sea.

Good advice - I'll do the impeller while I have things apart. Here's one of the cosmetic improvements I've done. The old carpet was crumbling underneath...

I've checked all the panel breakers, but am I missing one on the engine?

Thanks for the quick reply and valuable info. The boat is out of the water. This is my first cruiser, and I love it. I've already made some great cosmetic and electronic improvements. I'm a longtime classic car restorer, and I could tell at first glance that this engine compartment didn't...

Please help the new guy... I took my new 2004 260 out for the first time this weekend, for a short cruise on a nearby lake. It ran fine for 45 minutes, and then on the way back I started to accelerate and the engine died. After that, it wouldn't turn over, despite plenty of battery strength...

The plastic bolts are easy to remove, but there is no access to the nuts underneath them - either from the side or from the back.

This should be a simple process, but I'm afraid to take out the existing plastic screws because I can't fit my hand between the toilet and the wall behind it, and thus the plastic nuts will simply fall and I will be unable to put them back on the screws after I swap the seat. This seems...
