Inventory Missing Parts Mercruiser 3.0L EP #26 || Bayliner Bowrider 175

Inventory Of Missing Parts For Mercruiser that the mechanic lost. This is turning out to be more challenging and expensive than we thought it would. It is like they take a part, then type marine on the front of it, then double the cost. Also, there are many flavors of this 3.0L engine to choose …

We have installed the boat engine wiring harness on a 2004 Bayliner Bowrider 175, for the Mercruiser 3.0 liter. We may rerun this later of the manifold of the engine, kinda like how it doesn’t clutter the top of the Mercruiser engine in our boat. We still have a little more wiring to do on …

Took us about 2 hours to take the head off this boat engine for a Mercruiser 3.0 Liter engine in a 2004 Bayliner 175 Bowrider. The head did have a valve that was stuck, so we are going to have to get that machined, but I was really happy with the condition of all the …
