Thanks, you always seem to have the right answer on what road to go down next. I appreciate it. Hot Ajax

This is for the V-6 225 from year 1998 Running time 300 hours. With engine in the water, and intakes below water level: It is overheating. Not a faulty alarm, the block is hot. Next thing, there is a GOOD STREAM OF WATER out of the tell tale ( or "pee hole" in the vernacular of where I...

Curious, 20 volts could put out a lot of torque. Does the performance justify the cost? Thanks. Hot Ajax

For Firemedic: The gasket/o ring on the output side of the housing: Is it prone to getting lost easily when you take off the lower unit? Thanks for your tips, gents. I appreciate it.

Am doing my water pump very soon. There are two schools of thought on what to do with the gearbox before removing the lower unit. First Method: Leave the gear box in neutral. Plus side to this method is to make it easy to turn the drive shaft by hand when you are pressing down on the...

His name has been mentioned here a time or two, and everybody seems to like him. I have to call him tomorrow and and I can't remember his name. Thanks. Senor Hot Ajax

Put some di-elctric grease on the connections for the unit. It's a piece of cake job. But like the man said, a spark and your wife just bought the farm.

Probably 200 lbs tongue weight, 5000 lbs on the trailer. Looking for one that wont rust, get the wobbles from side to side, and rolls easily. Sound like anything you might know about? Thank you. Hot Ajax

Seasick: Thanks very much for this info. Other question: How does a dapper gentleman such as yourself from NYC know so much about engines?

Dennis and Seasick: Wasn't there a write up somewhere of how to clean the VST? Or was it a link to another website? I did the low pressure pumps about five or six years ago, but they can go bad that quick? Thanks for the tips,these tips are not terribly expensive to take a look at.

My WOT is 5600. She's good at 5000. Then went wide open for a second and it started breaking up, almost like a miss. Sparks plugs are fairly new. The rest of the rpm range was fine, no other issues. I almost never go to WOT unless it's to check things out. Ideas? Thanks.

I bought this prop from Power Tech: ELE4R15PMS275 to run on my 208. Pitch is 15 inches. Diameter = 15 inches. It's logical that a 4th blade will require some give-back, either in diameter or pitch. But that added surface area of the 4th blade is a big plus. It's supposed to be an "economy"...

I went with four blades about 5 or 6 years ago. I have a 225 HP back there and the boat is quite heavy in the stern. The four blades provide a lifting force that gets you up on plane much quicker. What prop do you need? I bought a Power Tech. It came as a recommendation from Max at...

Personally, I prefer NGK. I put them in everything I own that burns gasoline. Outdoor power equipment, autos and trucks, boats. NEVER had a problem with NGK. BTW, they have a customer service department that can give you technical information on the parts they sell. Hope this helps.

For Fire93Medic Andrew: You said you bought a gasket kit that included two gaskets. I didn't see where those go from the write up on the Mako forum. Thank you. Hot Ajax

I'm reading this should be cleaned annually. Owned the boat for 8 years and she runs great. I never cleaned it. Maybe it's time. Where do I find it?

What are you using, how long have you been using it, happy with the results?

Personally, I've been dealing with Domo for years and they're pretty good. Don't even look elsewhere.

What ever the price, buy use it!!! It's really does what it claims. And makes a very nice cologne when you head out for the evening.

Do yourself a favor and avoid them. Donate the $25 to the Home for Wayward Women instead. The design is really weak, you're trusting your boat to a really flimsy external snap ring of light guage steel.
