So.. my voltage regulator burnt on my 1984 merc 488. I decided to replace the voltage regulator with a alternator. I bought a kit and have installed it and before I start the motor I want to run it by you guys first. My motor has a power steering pump on it so I connected the alternator...

Thanks I am all set up on ibosts... .. on a sad note, it was Don S who was setting up or fixing my account. It reads like he was truly an amazing guy, I wish I could have got to know him. and don't think you guys have got rid of me yet... some one has to keep you guys on track and keep your...

I have a 3.7 488r I/O mercruiser. The last time I had the boat out I was just trying to see how fast it really was and had it full pin and was just trimming up the outdrive. Every time I would hit the up the motor would stumble and recover right away. My RMP was about 4600. Later on that day I...

OK so I sold out. I sold my 26 ft Wellcraft. I am not worthy, I do not own a Wellcraft. I figured how to make a cruiser go 50 mph, sell it and buy a new one, LOL. So.. I sold my old boat and bought a new to me boat and lost $1000 in the process. My new (to me) boat is a pristine condition...

seems like this boat is always broken... The last time I was out the battery went dead,, just before the winch cable broke,, LOL. Try and load a 26 foot boat with no motor and no winch cable... That's a different thread.... Very hot day and when I got the boat home and battery charged the boat...

My Grandchild was born this morning at 05:30. My Daughter had a home birth with my oldest Daughter, a nurse assisting. She is my second grandchild .... My parents passed away last year and I still want to tell them, I guess they know. :happy::news:

The last time I loaded by boat on the trailer my "first mate" hooked the trailer winch to the anchor hook and not the bow hook. As he did not drive a truck with trailer or a boat I had to back the trailer down the ramp and then get into the boat and drive it onto the trailer, his job was to hook...

I had the boat out today for my first test drive. All went well other than the wind was bad. Made it almost impossible to trailer the boat. The boat seems to run hot. My question is does a I/O have a thermostat or does the lake water just run through it constantly?

Just cruzing the net and I did a search on "WELLCRAFT AIRSLOT 24 FT". and this showed up ... it was with the images and you can guess what caught my eye.. http://www.thebassbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?315435-Katherine-Webb-becomes-star-of-the-BCS-Alabama-game/page2

I will be changing the gear oil in my out drive this weekend. There looks to be some sort of reservoir? From what I read on the net I think I have to remove both the fill screw and the vent screw, let the oil leak out. Put the bottom screw back in. I fill the reservoir until it leaks out the...

I am going to restore, or try to ... this is what I am starting with

so here is my question, what do I use. I have the up up and down for drive. I look to have two from my trim tabs... as you can tell I have a new camera and now know how to post pictures,, feel free to tell me if I get to much.. LOL

I have a red button on the dash of my boat. It reads Quick silver with a plastic bulb and a red push button. Anyone know what this is?
