    Fluctating Voltage

    Sorry, I meant to include that...I'm doing multimeter at the battery for all the readings. I'm going to check all the connections at the alternator tomorrow...I had my canvas collapse during a storm, and water got inside, so I'm hoping it's corresion at the alternator, but don't think I'll get...

    Fluctating Voltage

    92 searay with a 4.3 LX engine...in neutral idle voltage at battery jumping from 13.6 to 14.2, in gear idle and higher RPMs sfeady at 14.3 volts. Battery charged at 12.8 volts after shutting off. Feel like it an alternator, but want some input. Thanks in advance!

    Intermittent Start Issue

    Helpful article. In the article where post are labeled are those standard designation on the solenoid itself? I assume when jumpering the two larger terminals at the top? Thanks again

    Intermittent Start Issue

    Is it safe to assume because I am hearing the click, it is not the throttle neutral switch? I suppose I could test at the wiring harness to make sure I see 12 V from there.

    Intermittent Start Issue

    Was getting my 1992 4.3LX mercruiser ready for summer and start having an intermittent starting issue. When I turn the key I get 1 click and nothing. It will eventually start, but not a lingering issue I want. Throttle is in neutral, I rechecked all connections at battery and starter and the...

    Replacement Oil Filters

    Everywhere seems to be out of stock of 35-883702Q oil filter. Does anyone if an automotive would work for the fall oil change and wintereization? I can replace later or in the spring, so just need a temporary fix. I guess I could just leave the existing one on also, I don't think it would hurt...

    Engine Temp

    Good call on the helm gauges, they are 30 years old so accuracy level could be questionable.

    Engine Temp

    Engine Temp

    It stays there if RPMs are up but at idle ( less than 1k RPMs) temp feels like it continues to climb. Was idling in a slip getting everything loaded and noticed engine temp at 190.

    Engine Temp

    Replaced my impeller last year, and when running on muffs water comes out or the side holes of the housing and its warm. In water I can feel warm water coming out as well. At idle engine seems like it's over heating, when running above 2k temp drops to 150-160. Engine is a 92 4.3LX. Could...
