Post Spark Plug Wires ???
- Posted by: amanphoto » March 5th, 2018, 7:33 pm
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
I need a tie breaker.
The issue...
I have a 1999 Carver Mariner 350 with Mercruser Gas engines (300 hours in fresh water). Last summer the engines would not rev very high. It started great and idled great. The problem turned out to be old and crusty spark plugs and distributor. After gaping 16 new plugs and fighting in the tight spaces around the engine and fuel tank, I was able to replace them. The boat runs great now. My car mechanic said not to replace the wires. Reason - the new stuff is crap ...

Got to thinking about how our world todays revolves around an internet connection and want to set up something good on my boat. Would like the system to be able to be similar to a normal home system in functionality.
Would like to be able to boost wifi signals from as far as possible
When no wifi is available would like to use a dedicated sim card.
Hookup anything just like at home to my router via LAN cable.
Seems like there are a few all in one solutions like the Wirie http://www.thewirie.com

Post How to lubricate throttle cable on 350 Mariner

- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hi Everyone,
My Starboard throttle sticks and I have to jamb it forward to get the engines to sync. Do I just need to oil the cable or do I need a new cable? Easy to do?
Thanks
Cam

Has anyone seen anything designed for a boat like we have in the cars etc with the zone lines and warning beepers for distance etc.....that may be quite helpful if it could be adjusted for your specific needs, especially for some of us that can't see the corners.....anyone ??......

Curious as to why exhaust was reduced to 3 inch off riser then adapted to 4 inch instead of using 4 inch the entire system.

Post Aventus Inflatables

- Forum: General Boating Discussion
My 1997 Quicksilver 330 inflatable has given up the ghost. It's leaking in a place that 2 inflatable repair shops said cannot be fixed. It is a PVC model so getting 21 years of service out of it is pretty good IMO.
Last week at the Detroit Boat Show I stopped by a couple of the vendors that were selling inflatables. I wanted to get another air floor model as I loved my air floor on the Quicksilver. Well, the vendor selling Brig did not have a model that could handle my 15 HP Mercury OB. The max H ...

Post BNC Camera

- Forum: Electronics & Navigation
My Garmin 741xs has a BNC connection for a camera.
The ones I've seen so for are about $400.
Has anyone used a less expensive camera while using the BNC connector on a MFD?

Post Blisters

Hi,
Just pulled my 1992 370 and fixed 20 blisters. Paint was good and cleaned monthly. Is this common for Carvers in this year or model? Could this be one of the bad resin batches I've heard about with other manufacturers? Maybe inferior gelcoat? Nasty water in the ICW around Savannah? Great boat otherwise.
