My question is how do you get to the area where the boat sits on a trailers bunk boards? I need to wax my boat and I'm not sure how long it has been since it was waxed in this area. I've owned the boat for 2 years now and never waxed this area.

I've got a '98 190 BR Signature. It has the 4.3L (260 CID). The 4th time I took it out it started knocking. So I rebuilt it myself. It was cheaper then finding a used engine. You never know what you got when buy used. A new engine will be well over a grand. My engine had its rings seized on...

I've got a '98 190BR w/ 4.3L/A1. It came with a 21p HyFive 5 blade. It's got a heck of a hole shot but only tops out at 43knots at 5000 rpm. This is with a full tank, 200-250lbs of gear, 3-4 people.

I still can't find any info on Tempo transducers. Anyone have any info?

Does anyone know how deep the water is at the 19mm. It is close to Dog Days Bar and Grill.

IF it's knocking in neutral then it's not the lower drive. Neutral is like park/neutral in your car. If it's making a knocking noise in park/neutral and not in gear then its the engine or the coupling to the upper unit; ie. the output shaft. In this case I would say it's rings or bearings. Does...

No. I still have the other problem with the engine sounder not working. The wires are connected correctly. I think I burnt out the piezo. They aren't meant to sound for long periods of time. Mine sounded for a good 30 mintues then faded out.

Where can I get info on Tempo tranducers?

The Transducer is mounted low by the starboard side of the transom. The wiring goes thru the hull higher up but still next to the transom. I have a pic of my dash in my album. http://clubsearay.com/forum/album.php?albumid=71&pictureid=429. The shape of the emblem is more like a black T on a...

If it's original who made it and what model? I have seen this very model on other 190's listed on the internet but nobody can tell me who made it or a model #.

Can anyone tell me if the camshafts are the same or different between a 1998 2 barrel 4.3L mercruiser and the 1998 4 barrel 4.3L mercruiser? Lift/Duration/Lobe Seperation?

I've got a '98 190 BR w/4.3L Mercruiser. I have just recently rebuilt the engine. When I started the engine to break it in there was an alarm that sounded. It was buzzing as soon as I turned the ignition key on. Once the engine started it normally would shut off. It did not at this time. After...

Lazy Daze - My WOT is at 4800rpm and if I set the trim just right I can get 44mph out of it.

I was wondering if my boat has enough power to pull two skiers at once. It is a '98 190 Bowrider w/4.3L(freshly rebuilt) Bravo 1 Gen Plus and a 5 blade SS prop. It jumps out of the water and onto plane very quickly. It as a top speed of 42mph with the 5 blade. I do a stock 3 blade for it but...

Just recently I have had to rebuild my 1998 Mercruiser 4.3L. check out the discussion: http://www.clubsearay.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12558 The only difference in it and a vehicle engine was the thickness of the rings. The vehicle rings are standard size the marine rings are metric. As in my...

Thank you all for your advice and information. I have finally got the engine back together and into the boat. I had a few issues with wiring, specifically what connected were. After that I cranked it and it started on the first try. It then ran rough for about 3 minutes at idle so I brought it...

These pistons are just stock 350cid pistons with metric ring sizes. My engine builder said there is no major differences between auto/marine pistons. You can use what ever type of piston you like, as long as its balanced with the crank. So by that I could have ran the standard rings and kept the...

They have a casting number of H699P on them but they have the metric size rings. Will find out more info from engine builder. Anyone know where I can get torque specs for this engine?

Just talked to my engine builder. He has found and received the correct pistons for $30 ea and he ordered 6. Now just gotta get him the rest of the pistons and rods and I'm back in bidnes. YEAH!

I have found out that the parts that the part stores sell are the old style pistons. That is what I keep seeing. I have spoken to my engine builder and he stated the reason my piston is expensive is because they are metric, meaning they have metric size rings. The old style piston is a standard...
