Default Re: Mercruiser Woes-What Next?

I pulled my boat a week or so ago as I always do before opening day of deer season. Weirdest bass season I can remember. The bass here on the southshore never entered the Great South Bay - they all have been in the ocean, caught on jigs. A lot of schoolies. I'm a live bait guy and target bigger fish, so I thought, "well, this season sucked"... But, I do hear it's still on !

Anyway, sorry to hear about your engine, and you're right, it could have been out in a bad place, snotty seas, COLD! etc.

Damn! I'm all about preventive maintenance and I know the job should be done, but it's a tough one to do when all seems perfect ! Your story, however has me freaked out !

Where did you buy your manifolds and set-up and what did it set you back ?

How was the labor, any tricks / shortcuts I should watch for ? How long of labor for each side ? I have done a lot of peripheral mechanical stuff on this engine; fuel injection cooler ( BITCH of a job ), new water ciculator/pump, exhaust bellows, heat exchanger, etc. plus all the seasonal maintenance.

My motor is very clean and well cared for - better than a mechanic would do - I guess anyone on this site has to be fairly meticulous or they would let other people work on or repair their boats... But, a 'clean' looking engine does not tell the inside story...

What'cha think ?
