I have been searching this forum and other internet sites and I can't find a definitive answer on how to flush the elbows (aka-risers) and manifolds on my 2005 Sea Ray 185 Sport (4.3l Alpha 1) while in the water and NOT using muffs. Biggest issue I believe is the Alpha 1 has the impeller in the...
Quick question about muff-flushing Bravo 3 stern drives. My Bravo 3 drives have an intake at the front of the gear case as well as the sides. When I put the muffs on the sides, the water pours out of the front gear case and doesn't make it through the rest of the engine. The Mercruiser videos...
Well, its late January in North East Wisconsin. Over the next 24 hours, the forecast is calling for a foot of snow followed by -21F without the wind chill factor the next day.
Today, I finally got around to editing this vidoe that shows me installing a flush mount Garmin GPS and VHF radio in...

Hi All -
Long time reader, first time poster. I recently acquired a 2001 240 sundeck w/the 5.7 merc and bravo 3. Love the boat!
I am attempting to install a superflush system, which requires me to install an injector valve in place of the blue plug in the block drains. On the starbard side...
Help..we are having trouble getting the vacuflush to let water down. Once my husband taps on something under the floor it clears but then it does it again (within 24 hours) and then more tapping. What could be the problem?
:huh:Hey Gents, I am new to this site and happy to be here. I am in need of some knowledge though. I have a 1984 SeaRay 207 with a Mercruiser 260 and an Alpha outdrive. My question is I don't fully understand the cooling system. From what the book explains (very briefly) the lower unit on the...
