It would help knowing what you are working on, motor type, boat model, etc.... I suspect you have an inboard engine and there are flappers to protect the intake while sitting at a dock. When running there are small props to push the water through the engine to keep it cooled and one of the flappers has come loose. But that's just my guess based on the info provided.

MK55T vibrates badly from 75-100 power. Shakes the whole boat. No line under prop. Prop brand new.

Why did you put on a new prop? Did you hit something and break the old prop? You might have bent the prop shaft which would cause the vibration. Wouldn't feel it at lower speeds.

More horsepower

If it works leave well alone ,5.7 litre engine and you want more power ?? If you start playing with it you will defer away from the factory spec with all the possible problems of passing the annual vehicle inspection

I have a new Kohler toilet. Sometimes after flushing the handle stays down and the closet does not refill because the flapper is in the up position. I thought it was an air pressure problem because when...

is there a chance you have an air pocket in the flapper itself... try replacing flapper with a solid black rubber one.... they have more weight to them maybe the lever on the out side of the tank is getting caught up on the bottom of the lid

Leaking at flapper. replaced flapper. Still leaking

Make sure the chain to the flapper is loose when the flapper is down and that the handle when it goes through the toilet is free moving.

My 8hp Mariner outboard has lost power. the engine runs fine but the prop is slipping. With the engine off and the gearshift in forward the prop can be spun by hand and makes a clicking noise. I did not...

The props have a rubber bushing in the hub that can start to slip after time.Take the prop off and take it to a prop shop,not a dealer, and they can check it for you.The bush is there to stop damage to the g/box and driveline if something is hit.All props can be spun if the engine is off and the motor is in gear.It's another driveline saver.But the prop can only be spun backwards and thats when it clicks.Hope this helps

I have a 1987 mercury 9.9 outboard drive problems

the inside of the prop has a rubber between the prop itself and the inside splines to act as a shock absorber,say if you were to hit a rock. that rubber had spun out and the splines are turning inside the prop. the prop is screwed. seen it 100 times before.

Noise under intake manifold

best thing to do is to take the intake and valve covers off, its possible you may have inadvertently sucked something up and it's in you intake. That is the best solution.

No telling what it is until you take things apart and take a look. It shouldn't be too hard, make sure you get new gaskets, gaskets are cheap anyways.
