Just put the boat away, over the winter ill change the drive fluid, the engine oil and filter, look at the plugs, cap and rotor. I only took it out 3 times so a total of 9 days (such a shame).
A couple other things I want to do that would benefit me next season:
- Upgrade to newer trim system to eliminate reverse lockout (anyone do this that can tell me what I need to do? New block? New trim cylinders? New hoses in the boat?)
- I have a hesitation in my 2bbl carb when I throttle up, I believe its when I hit the accell pump harder, it bogs sometimes stalls. Carb was done 4 years ago by me, always put Stabil in when sitting. So I throttle in slower and its got a blip but ok.

I replaced my 898 merc rams with XD rams including the pump and lines. It does not use the old reverse lock out. I dont have all the part numbers, just that i took them off a Bravo one drive from a 27' boat. Easy way would be to find clean used, fairly certain all new would be over $1000.00. As for hesitation, I'd look first at the accel pump discharge at the carb. Could be pump, setting, or discharge jet clogged. It should be a strong pulse of fuel. Next would be timing, and advance. A good timing light will show the setting and advance curve. Less likely, but i have seen it, is the fuel well itself, is height correct and no fuel dumping from bad top gasket or fuel vent?

Great info. I was told I could reuse my rams I just rebuilt.
And as far as any fuel leaking, no.

You can certainly use your current rams, but I think you need adapters at the pump because the fittings are different new to old.

I believe MerCruiser makes a kit for that, I pulled one out of a searay that I scrapped out, the older system uses 3/16 lines and fittings so the one I have is the new style pumps and a new set of lines that goes from the block directly to the pump all 3/16 fittings.
