A few years back we wanted to buy a boat too, preferably a sportcruiser. You wont believe how many rusty engines we have seen. The ond we bought was in perfect conditions, but had some minor problems anyway

The new updates serviced kit does not have an exhaust bellows any more. It has a tube that does not actually attach to the drive. It makes the boat a little louder though.

It is new, and the water is coming from the exhaust. The replacement exhaust tube is not a bellows any more, therefore the water comes out near the rear of the boat.

on the closed loop cooling setup, do you still need to add the recommended coolant for regular normal operations? I don't have a heat exchanger but the manual is still calling for a 50/50 mix. I've seen a few videos where they unplug one of the water lines, flip it upside down and use that to pour down the coolant. Any help would be much appreciated! thanks

@nikolutkauskas5126 5 жыл бұрын

Just so people know the only reason there is so much exhaust is because of the fogging sprayed I the motor in the fall to protect the motor.

Jake Pugh, Ford Engines are not Mercruiser. The boat before the one I won now had twin 351 ford engines. But they were not Windsor's. Mine were Cleveland's. They have the four bolt main and the beefier cam for the high rpm's. I have a smaller boat now. Only 21 feet, and it has a Mercruiser 898 engine. Which is the Chevy 305. I see a lot of the 305's have the 228 or something emblem on them. I do not understand this. I am new to Mercruiser. But the sticker on the valve cover says 305 cid, blah, blah, blah. I am putting a new engine in it starting this weekend. Got to be totally ready for the halibut season.

How do you rev it like that? In a car it's just the accelerator - is this just pushing forward and back on the hand throttle? Sounds like how you rev a car more than a boat! (New to boating all FYI)

@coreymc88 3 жыл бұрын

On my old Century boat with the same engine, the hand throttle has a button you can push so that when you move the lever it only pulls on the throttle cable and not the gear shift cable. Then a forward and back motion will rev the engine just like a car's accelerator pedal would. Hope this helps!

@dieseldime Жыл бұрын

You push the gear override button which allows you to push the lever forward with the lever putting it in gear, so it's only operating the throttle .

There is an impeller in the lower unit that will be damaged if ran dry. To start out of water you must use a motor flushing attachment. New Mercury Mercruiser Quicksilver OEM Part # 44357T2 FLUSHING KIT. (found on Amazon). I owned a Mercruiser 165 years ago and it was a good I/O but needed TLC.

What’s with the boat engines creating so much smoke..?

@aaronwood3540 5 жыл бұрын

Fogger oil in the engine. It's a oil used to winterize the engine over there winter to prevent cylinder rust. Or if you have a motor being stored this can be applied to prevent the cylinders from rusting up. First fire up the engine will smoke because it's burning of the fogger oil. The rest is steam, cold water, warm engine, cooler day equals steam. And the boat had a aftermarket exhaust is why the water wasn't coming out of the prop. Incase you were wondering.
