1995 MERCRUISER 5.7L BRAVO

carb rebuilt 1.5 years ago
gas in the float bowl
accelerator pump working
I'm thinking fuel delivery, not electrical or...
I am in a no start, no spark situation. I have a '95 Rinker with a 5.7 L Bravo. ENGINE SER. # OF287508. First step on troubleshooting flow from mercruiser manual is to check if gray tach wire is grounded. It is. I understand I can cut it and it should fix my problem. How do I troubleshoot...
I'm in a no-start situation. No spark, coil looked bad (oil leaked out the top, maybe, no audible oil in coil) put in new coil, Found very loose ground coming off of the ignition modules mounted behind distributor, black ground wire was on the metal mount for these modules, tightened it up, was...
Does it matter which post on the distributor cap #1 is on as long as all of the plugs are in firing order as they proceed around the cap?
Now I'm quite sure this is a dumb question. What's interesting is I'm not sure if it's dumb because, "of course it matters" or whether it is dumb because...

Put in at Stateline Friday morning at 8:35. Traveled all the way to Halls Crossing and back to Stateline at 5:20. Beautiful day on the water. More than 190 miles on GPS. Used about 80 gallons of fuel, 3500 RPM & 37 MPH cruising. Saw a fighter jet over the Rincon, so cool. Beautiful lake, I'm...
Re: DIY bow filler and "stern" filler ?
This is not my boat, but is exactly like it. I will do something nearly identical. My pads may be separate from the boards for ease of DIY.
I've a '95 open bow 232 Rinker. I would like to be able to sleep on the boat with the kids. I can install a small ledge on either side of the bow walkway and place a board in the gap with cushions. I would like to use the plastic marine board but it is remarkably expensive. I can use...

Put new battery in backwards today. 1995 Rinker 5.7L Bravo III. Turned on battery switch and went up and turned on ignition. Puff of smoke from alternator, burning smell. Switched off ignition, switched off battery switch. Disconnected battery. Waited, walked away. I certainly smoked the...
1995 Rinker 5.7L Bravo 3 232 - My Bravo 3 reservoir has been getting slightly more full - 1/4 in or so. I decided to change out the drive oil. I opened the reservoir lid and then the vent screw before removing the drain screw. When I opened the vent screw oil and air sprayed out. I then...
We spent the day on Lake Mead yesterday. Perfect day for boating. We saw a lot of the lake. We put in at Echo Bay and then cruised down to the Hoover Dam to have lunch while drifting. Cruised back up lake to Temple Bar. Lot's of drifting/swimming and some wake boarding, knee boarding, and...
I have a '95 Rinker 232 Captiva 5.7L Bravo III. It has a 72 gallon belly tank with the tank vent mounted high on the port side above and to the rear of the fuel filler cap. When I tow to the lake, the vent spill gas onto the swim deck. It even did this yesterday on the way back from Lake...
Can I replace the original 2 piece impeller body with the Sierra 1 piece design? My impeller was in pieces when I removed the pump and opened the case. Will it be obvious which way to bend the vanes when I replace?
I have a '95 Rinker with a 5.7L Mercruiser I/O 260HP. The Starboard Exhaust Manifold is cracked along the outside face between the two center exhaust ports. I can see evidence of water coming through (rust) and once the boat is warm while under way, I do take on water from the crack. I've not...
