Why is there so much smoke pouring from the engines once we go over 8 knots?

Hi all. I'm new to this forum and looking for a v-drive transmission for my 2003 Carver Mariner 350. Power is Mercruiser 6.2MPI. Looking for port side velvet drive (I believe counter-rotating) model 10-05-004.

Thank-you

Last season I had to replace and relocate the swim platform end of the davits from my dinghy. This left behind holes (which I filled) and residual adhesive. My buddy that helped me with the job figured that the leftover adhesive would be 3M 4200 or 5200. This year I want to clean this up as best as I can. I have read that some patience and acetone or denatured alcohol might soften this stuff up to be able to remove it.



Your opinions and suggestions as always are welcome



Thanks

So , after reading the thread about the fuel tank replace I can't help but wonder about the reason for the tank failures.....is it bad Al metallurgy, grounding electrolysis, fuel changes or just funky installation practices??



We have been looking for a new boat for a while now and these tanks are probably the thing I look at the hardest as to ease of replacement if necessary ( don't have a million in the bank, lol ).So what say you folk....

When I bought my boat last August I had no idea how old the batteries are. I knew one was weak and I planned to get new ones this year. Last Saturday I went down to the boat to start prepping it for spring launch. I turned on the battery switch and nothing, nada, batteries stone cold dead. Now which battery to purchase.



My last boat the 3055 had a 4 battery setup. When I bought the boat it came with a 2 battery setup. I had the dealer install 2 additional batteries so I had 4. My first battery fa ...

I have a "97 carver 400 with Cummins BT5.9 diesels and a dinette and galley down, forward of the engine room..
Any tips on how to gain access to the port side engine to do a belt and tensioner change?
The gen set cuts off access to the front of the engine.
Anyone ever dealt with this?
Is there a way to partially disassemble the dinette maybe?
There is a fair amount of space underneath the dinette
Any other ideas options?
