    Water in cylinder after engine is shut off.

    Reminders are always good thank you so much. The problem seems to be after stopping the boat, engine off for a length of time with water still in the block when I come out 20 to 30 minutes later, there’s water in the cylinder and it will not turn over. As long as I drained the block after using...

    Knocking noise coming from engine area.

    Thanks Dieter. I read through some older post and saw where isolating the noise by removing the outdrive and serpentine belt. I did both and the noise is still in the block. I did pull in and out on the crank pulley and I have more than the allowable endplay. Its more like .080-.125 end play...

    Knocking noise coming from engine area.

    I just bought a 2005 MerCruiser 5.0. It has a knocking noise that is coming from the rear of the engine I think. It does it at idle and at higher RPMs. In the water and out. Under load and in neutral. Foot up and foot down. It sounds like a hammer on a piece of wood. It has no rhythm and is not...

    2005 Four Winns Exhaust Manifold Question

    Thanks! I agree after reading the different reviews. Yes the flaps have the rubber on them. They just don't spring out against the pipe. Didn't know if they should or not.

    Thank you! I have spent some time poking around the web and found a lot of info after asking the question on here. My exhaust flappers are intact but don't seal tight against the wall of the wye pipe. It has about a half inch ether side. Should it seal against the pipe or have a gap?

    Chris Craft 350Q w/ Volvo Penta 250 slips when you give it throttle.

    Let me clarify the "new prop" is an older prop that was cracked and I had repaired by a prop shop. I just read that it could be a slipping hub what do you guys think?

    Chris Craft lancer 350 Q starter problems

    Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting a high torque gear reduction starter that is counterclockwise rotation for my 350 Q. I would love to know what other people have used in place of the presto light starter. Thanks Matt

    Lancer Problems

    I have a 1972 CC Lancer with a 350Q. I have a feeling that possibly someone along the way put a different engine in the boat. The tag on the heat exchanger says that it is a 350QL and a different firing order than what it's running on. It also doesn't have the CC intake on it. Just the standard...
