    Spun hub or lower unit problem?

    Has to be the cable with a new hub, guess I'm not understanding everything that is happening. With a Alpha drive you should be able to put drive in forward and the prop will lock rotating counter-clockwise. Rotate the prop clockwise and it will click, click, click etc. This is the dog clutch...

    VP Volvo Penta Duo Prop Installation Problems

    Not an expert on VP but with Bravo 3 props those races are installed on the prop shafts, not the props. Are there races also on the shafts?

    2 beep then constant alarm Mercruiser 4.3 mpi

    It probably just needs to be adjusted. Don't know if you have Alpha or Bravo, but Alpha is easy, Bravo not so much If Alpha with motor OFF, move throttle forward about 1/2 and then 3/4 way. Note where the switch is and difference between idle. If Bravo, you have to do it with motor running...

    2 beep then constant alarm Mercruiser 4.3 mpi

    Agree, there is power loss "IF" the motor thinks the drive is not in gear ok that's good, but this was not part of my comment Because ECM needs those sensors to run. Thanks for SN you have a motor with CAT exhaust

    Early bravo 1 is toast , newer upper options?

    Being a 88 most likely the drive does not have the lube bottle (your term non oiler). If this is correct you have 2 issues 1 - Need to plug the lube bottle connection or adapt to be able to use one 2 - You cannot use the new uppers on your lower due to oil channel is different and will not connect

    Always post at least the year of the motor and serial numbers are best Reviewing previous post from 2023 I think yours is a 2015 motor?? I might be the in gear switch on the shift plate. If you have Bravo drives then there will be one switch, if they are Alpha then there are 2 switch's...

    Oil in outdrive but passed pressure test

    Welcome You have a leak just need to find out what seal. Pressurize and then rotate each shaft drive, prop and shift. One or all of the seals is leaking. Vacuum test is a good test but keep it no more then 5 psi

    1997 7.4L MPI IAC valve location and removal

    Maybe but really doubtful It's pretty tight in there and your only talking about one gasket if TB is not removed. IMO just remove the TB

    The tachometer on my 98 2330 sport SE is not working right

    Start with cleaning the connections on gauge and check the gray wire on the coil In most cases it does just need to be replaced because the manufacture that made the gauge either no longer makes that one, or they are out of business. Find out who made the gauge and see if they can repair
