    Possible short 7.4 Mercruiser

    My buddy on the slip next to me actually has the module in need. We are going to verify my grounds and try this out. If it does work I'm going to put this project off until the winter and replace with a newer system (maybe the Delco EST). Summers are too short here to be working on the boat, lol.

    Seems like it's the ignition module. It seems like it was speractic but now died. I have 12 volts going into the module but don't have it on the white/red coming out. So now I'm going to replace my Thunderbolt 4 with something, not sure what. From what I've read Thunderbolt is no long avaliable

I'll give it a try this weekend. I was planning on being on the boat but crappy weather in Mass. The plan is...

    I BELIEVE whatever I have the battery switch on both motors will charge. I have 2 batteries, so if the switch is on one only one draws and charges, if on 2 only 2 draws and charges, if on all it draws from both and charges both, I BELIEVE?? The house draws from the same battery or batteries as...

    1 battery is brand new this year the other battery is 2019. 1 battery died over the winter, I felt which might of been because I left the mercathode thinggy connected?? I will check the cables, at the battery they look good and when I installed the (1) new battery I cleaned, inspected and...

    Possible short 7.4 Mercruiser

    Hoping SOMEONE has seen this. One 1990 7.4 engine I've determined has a short somewhere. Not sure how or why, but one engine is not affected and the other is. I thought it was fuel related so I emptied the tank, replaced the fuel pickup, the fuel pump fuel line, water separator and fuel filter...
