well done mate!!

[@Sadler34Brighton]

Hi I’m in a marina in Uk a friend has this engine, please help. How / where do you re-fill the fresh water coolent once the hoses are reconnected. Thx in advance this would be very helpful

[@fixitdan5248]

Hi mate, if the hose setup looks the same as this one then it’s raw water cooled, it sucks water in just above the propeller. Hope that helps.. don’t forget to subscribe thanks

I have this same mercruiser and having trouble with the water pump. Can you link the pump you used on the install? Awesome video by the way!

[@fixitdan5248]

Thanks, it’s was the genuine mercruiser one for that engine number, that’s why it was strange I had to modify it

12:02 is your gasket off?

[@fixitdan5248]

Good pick up, but no the gasket had an extra hole, they must make the one gasket for several pumps maybe.

How could you tell the water pump was bad I could here you in the video

[@fixitdan5248]

When I checked it over before starting I could feel a little movement in the shaft just moving it by hand up & down, then when it was running I could hear a new grinding squeal noise from it.

Yes thanks, I’m slowly getting better at editing. You should see my first video, you’ll get sea sick watching it..
