    Fuel gauge not working

    Hi, I’m having a similar issue! My tank on my 180 bowrider is saying full! I used a after market fuel sender and it done exactly the same. I moved the sender up and down and got nothing on the gauge except it saying full tank. I was then told I needed an American sender due to the difference in...

    My question was that it was mentioned that a high 5 13x19p ss prop is a great all round prop For the 3.0 180 bowrider 135hp but from my experience today it’s over revin the engine! 2 adults calm sea trimmed out at max power I was getting 35mph at 5200 REVS that’s too much! Great hole shot And...

    Hi everyone, my fuel gauge is saying full constantly so I took out the sender and replaced with a unit my local dealer recommend and it’s doing the same! I also put the two cables together that attaches to the sender to make a circuit and the Gauge goes up to full so it can’t be a wire issue.

    Weber Redline carb performance for 3.0L Mercruiser

    Can anyone tell me the best way to set up my carb for max power! It runs very lumpy and doesn’t idle well! Just had it rebuilt and still not great and I’m lucky if I get 35 mph flat out at 4000 rpm!

    Weber Redline carb performance for 3.0L Mercruiser

    Do you think it would be possible to swap my 3.0 for a 4.3? As the v6 sits a lot lower than the 4 cylinder!

    Weber Redline carb performance for 3.0L Mercruiser

    Great advice! Thanks again. Last weekend I fitted Nauticus smart tabs and did see a big improvement! So I think I’m just going to concentrate on getting the carb set up correctly and look at props! Not sure what prop is on it as it has no numbers! All it says is rapture and it’s a 3 blade...

    Weber Redline carb performance for 3.0L Mercruiser

    Thanks for the hi thanks for the reply! I have done all the things you’ve suggested. Carb rebuild, dizzy and leads plugs etc ! Think the carb needs setting properly ie mixture and idle. But find it strange that there isn’t anything out there to make the 3.0 faster? Example a Carb upgrade etc

    Is there any way of getting more power from my 3.0? I know there isn’t a great deal you can do with them but wanted to know if there is a possibility? Regards Mike
