Marinette Boat Forum

Okay so o am assuming that one from the auto parts store is okay which is great because they are $30 bucks from a marine seller they are $150 bucks.

Hey all I would like to pose another another question. After reading through the forum for a few days I can't seem to find anything with my issues most everything I read about ignition is engines dying at low rpm after warm or loosing rpm after warmed up. My problem is on my 440's I can't seem to ge...

Finally figured out the wiring order this morning. Had her cranking over this morning but it never hit and never attempted to start. I flipped the distributer 180degrees and still nothing. My plugs may be fouled as I had lots of marvel mystery oil and diesel fuel in the Pistons to break the motor lo...

Hope no one minds me bringing this post back from the dead. I have a pair of 440's that the PO removed all plug wires from the spark plugs on both engines. The plug wire ends have 2 different numbers on each of them and when tracing back to the distributer on the port side engine they don't seem to ...

Thanks everyone for the replies. The engine I was working on which is the one that had a blown head gasket finally started pumping today. I removed both lines going to the remote oil filter and slowly filled both with oil. Enlisted the help of my dad and rotated the crank by hand while the other spu...

Looking at the boat today and just thinking here but not sure which path to go down. Would it be better to use the external oil change pump to push oil back to the remote filter, the return line from the filter to the engine mounted oil pump, or step the line down and tee the oil sending unit line a...

Everything I have found says the rotation is CCW. I was looking at the remote mount mechanism and trying to come up with a way to add a tee that would allow me to add compressed air or to do something that would allow me to circulate it somehow. The PO installed a electric pump to extract oil from b...

Not sure if it's stock but my engines have remote oil filters as well. The hoses for supply and return have to be a good 2 feet or close to it. Not sure if that's stock or not. I turned it counter clockwise looking down at it. Not sure if that was correct? I did try CW as well for a while and no luc...

So I got a hex shaft and hit the oil pump with it and a cordless drill in hand. I think I understand that the rotation should be counter clockwise looking down at the motor. I hit it with a couple minute run and am not getting oil to pump. Does anyone know how long to spin this I'm not certain if ru...

Just about finished with a head job myself on a 440. Good luck. I purchased a project boat that had a apparently blown head gasket. Or at least the empty heat exchanger milky oil and a couple of cylinders full of antifreeze led me to that conclusion. I have everything back on except the exhaust bell...
