Introduction:
Mercruiser is an advanced marine propulsion system and is available in recreational and commercial vehicles ranging from 1.5-liter displacement to 14.0-liter displacements. These are generally two stroke diesel engine vehicles and are termed as inboards or stern drives depending on the vehicle design.
| Avtorentacar recommended article: New Auto Navigation Technology To Be Launched Navigation systems give drivers the chance to spend less time on driving by helping them know which roads to take so as to avoid traffic jams especially during rush hours. And another auto navigation innovation is nearing its launch in the auto market. From Dash Navigation, Inc. whose website can be found at www.dash.net, the new piece of navigation technology for vehicles gives drivers an edge. You see, the new product made just for drivers would be mounted and installed in vehicles' dashboards. Through the new feature, the drivers would be given timely and up to date information on the road and traffic conditions. Relevant information on local happenings is also given out with this new product from Dash Navigation. And if you are wondering when this one would be publicly presented, you would have to wait until the 26th of September for it. |
Mercruiser parts:
This water vehicle contains the following major parts.
Mercruiser Engine:
These are the heart of any vehicle and are available in 4, 6 or 8 cylinders capacities, especially for stern drives. The engine rating and displacement or fuel system are also important for a specific purpose motorboat. These are the important Mercruiser parts and every engine contains a tag specifying details of the engine.
Carburetor:
| Avtorentacar recommended article: Saving Money While Saving The Environment The environment, which consists of our air, water and soil, is used by every living thing and especially all our vehicles and machines of all types and sizes. Until I discovered Amsoil Inc.'s synthetic lubricants and how they reduce emissions and related problems associated with petroleum oils, it was a common assumption that there was no other option. One hundred percent synthetic engine oils, for example, will reduce emissions due to the absence of hydrocarbons. Fuel consumption is also reduced by amounts in the range of five percent. That's welcome during these days of gasoline price increases on a daily basis. Oil change intervals are another strategy to reduce the need for disposal, as with petroleum. Petroleum oil users are under the Oil Change Interval requirement by most dealers to change their oils every 5,000 kms. Driving forty thousand kms. or one year, whichever comes first, before changing oil will make an impact on reduced demands on the environment. That has been my experience with a product options available by Amsoil Inc. using six litres and a couple of oil filters with synthetic lubricant instead of more than forty litres of petroleum and sixteen oil and air filters. |
Carburetor is attached to the fuel delivery system and filters and regulates the supply of fuel to the engine. The carburetor can be identified by its design (filtering and regulating fuel) or matching its design from the catalogue or manual provided with the boat.
Exhaust Manual:
These Mercruiser parts are used for removing combustion gases from engine through exhaust manifold. These are attached to the exhaust system.
Water and Fuel Pumps:
Raw water pumps or circulating water pumps are used for cooling outboard engines by continuously circulating water. These pumps are supplied with full instructions and can be replaced easily. Fuel pumps are small nozzles through which fuel, which is generally diesel, is injected to the engine.
Marine Mufflers:
These are the silencers made from fiberglass and are designed for backpressure compensation and resistant from corrosion. These are in cylindrical shape from varying diameter of 1.5” to 12” inlet and outlet. These are suitable for below waterline installation and can easily be replaced.
Fresh water System:
These are the complete pump and pipe system for circulating fresh water used for cooling 2 stroke outboard engines. These systems are available with complete instructions and can easily be replaced.
Oil Coolers:
These are the cylindrical coolers used for cooling oil and these are available in varying sizes from 5” * 1” to 12” * 1.25” and sometimes two cylinders attached together are provided as dual coolers.
Motor and Gear Lube:
Service manual provides the complete instruction to change engine and gear oil at particular interval and the oil should be changed as per the direction given in manual.
Some other important mercruiser parts include electrical system; power steering, couplers and stern drive parts.
Identifying the mercruiser parts:
A tag is attached to identify engine model, serial number of engine, transcom assembly serial number and drive serial number. Similarly for inboard transmission, model and serial numbers are provided on a tag on the top or side of transmission. You should verify the tag details to the manual provided to you by the manufacturer and both the details should match.
Once you have located the correct model number with specified transmission details, you should see the parts details as figure of each part has been provided. You should identify the figure from catalogue or manual provided to you or you should visit the web site of the manufacturer. Once the parts corresponding to the figure has been identified, you should note down the serial number supplied in the catalogue or web site. Once you are able to locate the exact part number and corresponding serial number, it is easy for you to purchase these parts directly from manufacturer or resellers.

| Avtorentacar recommended article: Counterfeit Auto Parts: A Global Epidemic Recent concerns about U.S. port control have been focusing on the possibility that American ports will be used as a conduit for terrorists to attack America. What many people do not realize is that only about 5% of all containers going through our port system have their contents inspected by authorities. That means a full 95% of the containers never receive a visual inspection, although many do get electronically scanned. Still, it is the naked eye which can detect and determine if something in a container isn't quite right. As far as auto parts go, a visual inspection is necessary; unfortunately many fake parts do get through. A global epidemic is in progress and it has little to do with terrorists and everything to do with counterfeit auto parts. Let's take a look at the counterfeit parts “industry” and how you can avoid getting taken. Yes, it is an industry...the counterfeit auto parts “business” that is. Every year billions of dollars worth of fake auto parts are produced worldwide and circulated to unsuspecting consumers. In some countries the problem is completely out of hand resulting in injury, even death, to drivers and their passengers. Among the parts frequently counterfeited are: |
