-This is for a 350 merc 260hp, 89 DD sunsetter. Boat would not start, after spending a couple weekends messing with it(replaced fuel pump, among other things), the boat would not start and I took it to the shop. Well they rebuilt the carb and everything ran well... -They called me later that day, and said it was missing a "wedge spacer" that went under the carb. The spacer is to keep the carb level, even though the top of the engine is not level. The wedge goes from a half inch to maybe an inch and a quarter. -The boat runs fine with the wedge on it, HOWEVER the engine cover does not fit. -Anyone with a mailbu in the pre 95 era, how does your setup look? -My only idea is to raise the engine cover by 2 inches all the way around with a wood frame. What are my options. ANYBODY any ideas? -Thanks a ton, this will be my project next weekend....
