Default Re: Mercruiser question - fuel cooler leaking...


I did tie a pc of engine part when I was installing it because if it dropped into the bilge it would have been a bear to get. I used 15lb fishing line and then when I attached it, I tore the line free...

I also used electrical tape to partially cover the face of a ratchet to hold a nut in place while trying to install it in a vertical / upside down position ( not to mention the paper towel I jammed in the ratchet first to keep the nut close to the face / or front of the ratchet so it would not recess !!!

My favorite 'tool' when I re-do a complex thing is my digital camera so I can detail the ripdown via pix and see what things looked like after I have many pcs laying around !
