Well, I learned something today. I'll have to go look at my manual and wrap my head around it.

Thanks!

Really? With all the heat you're dumping into the pistons, my intuition would have said the on plane temps would be more important. Cold temps =smaller bores, lots of power = big expanded hot...

It's the fitting right here:

Loctite 567 Thread Sealant is the pipe dope the manual calls out to use on the fitting.

You might consider cleaning your strainer and back-flushing your engine, too.

If there isn't any debris in there, are you sure your poppet valve is good to go? Especially if your t-stats checked...

This is the answer.

I had a very nice writeup saved on my phone that explained why. That phone currently resides on the bottom of a lake, though. If I find it again, I'll post it.

Stuck open because of debris? Have you put your eyes on it?

If it's a piece of debris and you replace it, you're throwing your money away.

Got it. Now I can finally sleep at night.

Now time to prime fuel/oil, start to start her up and check the pressures.

Thanks!

Savage, I think where you're saying it goes is circled in red. If that's the case, I have to figure out where that small capscrew goes, too.


Bass.man65, I think the one your referring to is...

So, I checked my reeds, replaced an air compressor, cleaned out my rails/hoses. Put everything back together and I have a random P-clip and I CANNOT FOR THE...

I had a compressor failure. I'm going to send the rail's injectors off to Don to be cleaned/checked.

I cannot, for the life of me, get the fitting off this hose:

Caveat: my experiance lies in automotive 4 stroke oils.

Something I learned years ago from a bearings expert was that about 1/3 of each quart of oils is ​additives€‹. There can be ​quite​ a...

Thanks, I'll add the ground.

Also, I just wanted to be clear because I don't think I'm coming across clearly. The fuse has never been in the fuse holder for the entire 5 years I've owned this...

The bridge is the NMEA 2k coming out of the mercmonitor, if I dissconnect the NMEA 2k from the MM the cross feed is eliminated.

And I plan on adding a common ground, but I wanted to make sure...

Optimax ProXS's have air filters‽

Right, I figured the Mercmonitor likely pulls the two grounds togeather through the network. I seem to remeber that Merc doesn't like/recommend running two batteries in parallel, hence my efforts to...

The 3A fuse was, and is, removed.

I have an AGM for cranking/pumps/lights/etc., I'm adding a second 12V LFP for electronics, including my HDS' and NMEA 2k network.

Yep, pretty much sums up the whole fiasco.

When I was "running my motor too high" it wouldn't even throw a rooster tail. :ohwell:

I know its an old thread, but I've had a person or two PM my about it. So, I wanted to updated this and make the solution public.

Turns out, I had THREE bearings in my lower unit going out. This...

You'd think the DNR would dredge it every 10-20 years. lol.

I really wanted to go creek fishing, It'll probably be blow out from all this rain, anyway.

Is the first bend north of Pine Grove...

Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until its up again, or try to putt all the way back there. I was just wanting to go explore and try something new.

Thanks!

Never been to the ramp. Does anyone know if someone could launch a 21 foot glass boat from the Crooked Creek ramp on Monroe?

Thanks!

So, I cant seem to find a Mercury cylinder in stock anywhere, backordered until Aug. So, I I got to looking at them, it looks like the Merc/Uflex cylinders are rated for 7,000 kPa/70 Bar (1,015 psi),...
