    2009 4.3 gxi-j cant get it over 3k rpms

    If gauge is accurate then there is no issue with pressure Porpoising is caused by to much trim out, or to much lift. If you trim it full in against the transom and it's still porpoising, then look at load placement and just what prop is on the boat? Next check your timing if you have the flat...

    High RPM’s

    ^^^Agree, coupler or prop hub Does the boat actually move forward when shifted in forward? Read your other thread, (sorry didn't notice it sooner) and when the motor was replaced the shop should have checked and adjusted alignment. If they didn't then this may have caused the coupler failure...

    Will this tube "blow" my engine

    The tube will not blow your motor. Same as having to much weight in the boat, it's just harder to get on plane. If your going to pull it most the time, then suggest changing prop to a lower pitch, this will bring the rpm up and make it easier on the motor. When not puling tube you can over rev

    GX1850

    No issue, your not prying. I still have the 8 turns lock to lock and appears it will stay that way. It can be fixed with a variable helm and all new larger lines, meaning big bucks The trim was fixed by replacing the entire trim system on starboard motor

Once start Bat has been recharged then the ACR will close and charge house Bats Don't use a terminal block to connect ACR, connect ACR with direct leads from Bats. Also don't want a terminal block between Bat and starter, should...

    MerCruiser 5.0 (Carb Engine) will not turn, what is this part?

    Motor can be moved by grabbing the belt and a pulley, then rotate clockwise. Can be done easier by removing the plugs. The neutral safety switch is inside the throttle/shifter handle. Yel/Red comes from the key, to the neutral switch in the handle, then to the relay

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Called dealer a few days ago and he said bring it in, well that isn't going to happen unless I have to. It's 3 hour round trip times 2, not counting how long again it will take. So about 2.5 months to get the pump replaced and they didn't make sure the trim was working correctly before giving it...

    Change prop hub. Don't go far, take boat out and throttle up. If coupler is stripped motor will rev up but boat will not increase speed
