    Engine flush inlet hose adapter leaking?

    This is a screenshot from Crowley Marine showing the flush adapter parts. Looks like everything is still available. This is for my 03 240 but they should all be the same.

    terrible pics. COE has been dredging for the past several weeks and putting the sand on a favorite island hangout. My great grandson {damn, I can't be that old] playing on the sand piles, and equipment being loaded as they have finished and are moving upriver to the next problem area.

    2007 Sugar Sand Extreme 200HP Oil/Gas ratio

    If you have the 200 it's a Optimax DFI and has an air compressor that is lubricated by the oil injection pump. If the oil pump isn't working you would cause expensive damage to the compressor. I don't believe it's feasible to run premix with DFI motors, I wouldn't try it. The people who do oil...

    2006 sugar sand 240 EFI MERCURY JET DRIVE

    Hi Jmiah, welcome aboard. Four beeps every 2 min is either low oil in the reserve tank, the small one on the side of the engine, or water in the separator, the oil filter looking one just below the oil reserve tank. The switch in the oil reserve tank can also go bad and cause it. Cure for that...

    Free National Park Pass for Veterans

    Yeah, considering a 214 will get a veteran designation on your driver's license

    Free National Park Pass for Veterans

    I've had the lifetime senor access for 14 years, think I paid 10 bucks for it, and another perk it carries is it's good for free launching at the COE ramp I use on the Mississippi. The vet pass is an even better bargain. Maybe I can get my ten back:D

    240EFI average mpg/gph

    Whatever it needs to hold in the low 30's for easy cruising, probably about 4500 for me, I don't usually pay much attention to it but GPH climbs in a hurry with the RPM. My Mirage is several hundred lbs heavier than your Tango so I likely run a little higher RPM. My son had a 07 240 Tango till...

    240EFI average mpg/gph

    Sounds about right, I've had my 240 since new in 03 and that's about as good as it gets. I have a Smartcraft monitor on mine, shows GPH, at full throttle these things pull 25 GPH. They are thirsty.

    flushing sugar sand

    Ya that source no longer works. If you are on facebook the Sugar Sand group has some of them on file, I know the 200 210 and both versions of 240 are there

    Mercury sport jet 175 Stock Dia wear ring

    this is for the 240, should be the same, the difference is the number of blades on impeller

    Not the best shot my grandson took from my son's 195SX of my old Mirage heading down the Mississippi, It will still scoot

    Lots of experience here so figure I’ll ask - outboard Mercury engine vibration

    Just took a quick look at my spare one while I was hooking up my jet for a day on the Mississippi. It's called a prop bore sleeve

    Lots of experience here so figure I’ll ask - outboard Mercury engine vibration

    Just a shot in the dark but my 2017 75 hp has a plastic [ nylon?] bushing behind the prop to block exhaust from leaking behind the prop. It is easy to damage and I have had one come lose and spin with the prop causing it to vibrate . As I understand it, it can also cause cavitation by leaking...

    Sitting at a riverside bar &grill yesterday and this came down the river and up the ramp

    This was on the Wisconsin river at Spring Green. It can be quite swift and it seemed kinda awkward coming in across the current. Don't know that I would like being inside it on a river
