Great video! Clear concise information; thank you once again.. I had a 65 hp Mercury o/b in the 1960's, an 85 (80?) hp Merc the 1970's and a Merc 470 I/O (4 cylinder, 170 hp, Chevy block) in the early 1980's... It looks like they have made some improvements since then! (except for the alternator belt replacement ☺).... Thank you so much for your videos; you are helping more people than you can know. I pass your link to everyone I know; I hope you become the #1 Boat-guy on KZbin.....

[@BornAgainBoating]

Wow! You've spent a lot of time on the water :) That's awesome! I hope to be boating like you just the same :) Yes, that belt replacement is quite the adventure lol when I first read about it and did it for the first time, I was like, "you gotta be kidding me, they can't be serious!" But it was very real lol Thank you so much for all of the support and for passing us along! That is such a huge help and we thank you so very much :)

The 470 was a Mercruiser designed and built engine.

[@andrewfyakim525]

@@melrose9252 Hi Mel, I'm sure you could be (are?) correct. Back in the 1970's-1980's we were told that the Merc 470 I/O was a Chevy blocked engine, in fact used some Chevy parts on them at times.... I'd like to learn more about it as that 470 (4 cylinder, 170 hp) was a great engine. It was fresh-water cooled with a heat-exchanger, was quiet, and was super fuel efficient. It ran the 22' boat at cruise-speed in the low 40 mph range.

[@melrose9252]

@@andrewfyakim525 < The cylinder head was off the 460 Ford and the block was a purpose built marine engine designed and built by Mercruiser. Mercury was concerned back in the day that engines for In/Outs and Inboards may not be available from GM or the other manufacturers. These were years coming off gas shortages and heavy emissions. Mercury built their own. They came with a 2 or 4 bbl and fresh water cooling. They were known to overheat fairly easy and with automotive blocks becoming more powerful and more available, these engines were dropped.

[@andrewfyakim525]

@@melrose9252 Thank you for the info; I'm sorry to hear it was not a considered a good engine!... I was in my 20's when we had that boat/ engine, and we had it for just shy of 6 years; fortunately we had no problems with it. We even ran offshore out of the Beaufort Inlet in NC a half-dozen times a year. The engine never failed to start right up, and needed only basic maintenance. It never overheated, but then, and as I do now, I'm easy on my engines and don't run them hard... Thank you once again for the info!

Yes, that was! Great eye! Yes, it is not uncommon to see a little water there, only a teaspoon or so though. If you find a few ounces, there is something going on! The water comes from condensation, so depending on where you live, the humidity, and the temperatures, it isn't anything to worry about!

LOOKING AT A new 200 OR BETTER SEAPRO MERC, do these motors have any issues in dirty water? example, the suzuki 250's fuel cooler will clog after several years, if run on the motors flush ports. You have to run in a tub to keep it from clogging when you're in the dirty St. Johns river. I know, sounds crazy, but believe me. Don't know much about Mercs, versus HONDA AND Suzuki's

[@BornAgainBoating]

Haven't really seen a lot of them just yet. They are still fairly new. The V-8 and V-6 are super similar and we've got a guy with the V-8s on his boat. He's over 1500 hrs so far in a year without any issues. Yeah, Suzuki's have been known for their internal clogging issues though. That's why the Merc's and Yami's cost so much more. The metals are different and they've painting the inside of the engines, all of the cooling passages! Which is why you don't see them packed full of internal anodes to mess with. Yamaha learned that lessen with the F225s and midsections! For where you are, I'd stay away from the Honda's for the same issue. That Suzuki seemed to do you really well, but if you are ready to spend the money and do the repower. The Merc V-6 would be a good engine for you.

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

@@BornAgainBoating It was the fuel cooler mostly, clogged 100% in this dirt water here after 5 years. Never ever again will use those flush ports! A 70 gallon tub, and run up to temp. after each trip. The St. Johns in Jax is acidic, muddy, nasty as it gets. Plus only 3-4 more years worth of incessant dredging! YIPEE! YES, I really like the things Merc has done. Oh, I ran right thru two Honda 225'S ALREADY!..the pits! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. Been doing KZbin for 10 years, and with loads of engine DIY stuff, But mostly fishing, related. I know what work it takes. Ive done as many as 4 vids a week.

Hello! Yes, they are all the same parts. The last I checked they didn't have a bundle for the V6-V8's like they do for the L6s. They might now, but they didn't have that before. On the Quickleen, that's good stuff, it's like Yamaha ring free, it's good to use it and it's not expensive which makes it worth it :)

Thank you! Well, I would say the best way to get into the marine industry as a mechanic is to get an entry level job at a marina and work your way up. Schools like UTI cost about $35K, maybe even more now. So if you wanted to skip that cost, just keep applying to marina's until you get in. I will warn you though, you will still be going up and down ladders all day, in and out of the boats, as well as in and out of very small and cramped places, just like in the HVAC world.

Plugs come pre-gapped! You can't really pre-fill an oil filter on an outboard engine, most of them are installed upside down! The oiling systems will have oil through everything within a couple of revolutions, so it fills up quick! Here's some more information from our website on pre-filling filters: www.bornagainboating.com/pre-fill-fuel-filter-water-separator/ After putting the grease on the driveshaft to hold the keyway in, and then cleaning the water pump housing in a parts washer, there isn't much need to, everything is pretty greasy and wet so the impeller just slides right into the housing! :) Thank you!

Full service is at 300 hours

[@mcplutt]

The engine has 500-600 hours.

[@normankaster917]

That looks more like a 300 hour service job....I would hate to be the owner of that boat... Unless he likes to be taken for a "BOAT RIDE" right to his check book.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Technically it is a 300 hour, it's just come to call it a 100 hour. Mainly because this is at over 500 hours and the engines are only 3 months old! Idk if you would really hate it, if you got to spend as much time on the water as he does ;) The real "boat ride" to the check book is the fuel bill these guys have every month!
