Truly enjoy your videos, watched the entire trip from NY to FL a few days ago, awesome adventure. As for this video: food for thought, iridium plugs cannot be gapped, why? It will damage the tip immediately, 22 years in the USCG as an engineer.
Yes! Matter of fact we just pulled the boat and every zinc is gone! Even the plate that used to last a couple years on the Hudson. That video will be out soon.
Thank you!, I'm guessing this was the first time for these engines. How many hours? What is that silly line across the top of distributor? you put your finger on it at 0:54.
I think it was at least the second plug change but probably original cap rotor and wires. The original spark plugs were different from factory. About 900 hours on motors. Those silly lines appear to be the electrical paths in the cap from the wires to the electrodes.
Hi sorry for bothering you. It is the following: I had seen a video talking about the Mercuiser engine which was not above 3000 rpm when it was running, but if it was stopped it was above 3000 rpm. Could you tell me if you managed to overcome the same problem? And what is the procedure to be to make the same boat return to normal. I've already changed almost everything, even the electronic schematic of the other boat I put it in and I still wasn't successful, I don't know what to do anymore, please give me a tip!
Really Appreciate this video. The Acrobats and tricks to access the outside plugs would have been of interest to this viewer, No Idea how to get to outside side of port engine here.
Same boat? I just crawled in front of the motor and reached down the sides. Wasn’t easy. I found using old pillows or seat cushions to lay on make it bearable. You can also move the salon seats and remove the floor access panels for better access. I’ll be doing that for manifold replacements.
Cross fire distributor cap nice .Makes routing the wires simple and neat
Another great vid. U and yours seemn2 b very good people tks. 4 entertaining us with your boating adventures
Thanks for you time!

I did read that. You can’t touch the electrode tip for that reason. Thanks!
Thanks for the links, I need to do mine this year :(
Have you noticed more corrosion having the boat in salt water full time versus being in almost fresh water on the hudson ? Love your videos !

Keep up the great videos awesome stuff !

You should always keep an extra set of belts on-board for long trips!
I do have a spare set but these look in great shape even after 3 years+.

@@AdventuresofHappyOurs I have the 2004 slightly smaller. Port looks the toughest. Marina quoted 4 Hours per engine
Yikes!
How did you get to the hull side plugs? strictly by feel?
For the most part yes. Went easier than I thought but not very comfortable laying on back in bilge.
Did you grease the muffler bearings
Yep. Lol
Brigitte and Matey are probably out doing something fun
You need to learn the firing order looking from the front of the motor the the right side should be 1357 left side will be 2468
I’m dumb when it comes to that. So I just make sure it goes back the way it was. Lol
How can I get Your Email or how can I send you mine ? Thank you Captain Brian

If you don't draw blood....you ain't doing it right!
Blood sweat and gears.
