So it could be anything, but where you would start is by checking for fuel pressure leakdown and throwing the scanner on it to check for codes.
Having to open the throttle to start the engine can be an indicator that the engine is flooded, which will happen if the injectors are leaking, but it...
If you are sure the water pump assembly is assembled correctly, It's probably the water seal in the upper unit where the water pump output pipe connects. When that seal goes bad, it leaks like a sieve internally. Which means not all of the water leaving the pump makes it to the engine at lower...
One would be silly not to have at least liability, environmental, and wreck removal insurance. All of which are policies that can be purchased without requiring any additional coverage for the hull value itself.
The easiest way to check for spark is to clip a timing light to each plug wire, one at a time, and see if the timing light flashes evenly and consistently with engine RPM. If it doesn't there is a spark issue; if it does, there isn't a spark issue. Just make sure your plugs are new and the plug...
Sooo... I am an ABYC certified marine electrician... that diagram is all wrong. Please reach out to somebody in person to create a diagram for you or wire your boat so that you do not have a fire. It won't be cheap but it will be right, as an example I bill out at 175 an hour personally here in...
Just a quick point is that you posted an engine manufacture wiring color code chart. ABYC does not apply to the actual engines, the manufacturer of the engine is free to use whatever colors they want. ABYC applies to the wiring of the boat hull itself, separate from the engine wiring.
Thanks for that. Up until right now, I have never stuck my nose in H-31, nor have I ever seen any questions on the ABYC exams that may come from H-31. The more you know.
Maybe a bad way of stating that, my error. BRP Marine signed an agreement with Mercury, not BRP the entire company. Source - https://fishingtackleretailer.com/brp-discontinues-evinrude-outboard-engines-signs-agreement-with-mercury-marine/
I didn't realize you were talking about the hose under the cowl. Standards do not apply to the hoses on the engine itself. Usually the dealers simply sell the fuel line in rolls by the foot. Mercury purchased BRP, so your best bet is to go to a mercury dealer and get as much fuel line as you...
I don't know anything about canukistan but in the US the USCG has stability test and floatation requirements for recreational small craft. For example, to much power can cause to much heeling at speed, causing the aft gunnels to go underwater. To much weight will affect the cockpit drain system...
