    I’m sure you’d get something to work instead. My friend reckoned the retention of the pin was likely to blame. Had just came loose on his.

    Can’t Figure out Prop ….

    Good to read I’m not the only witness to something close. That 18ft stingray ran the 23” very well.

    High current on fuel pump

    Yeah. Good idea. Must be odds on likely that there is a restriction on the discharge side of the pump. What age is this engine ? Depending on that, there is a slight variance in their operation. Some are designed to pump pressure against the rail and injectors…and some as far as I understand...

    So. Just with regards to what I said earlier about the pin through the shaft and pinion gear…I’ve literally just spoken to the friend who has the identical engine (from 1978/79)..this very thing happened to him the first time he tried her out, after acquiring. It turned out that the pin had...

    High current on fuel pump

    No worries. If the pump is genuinely showing a high current, it’s because it’s on the verge of overloading. Or struggling to perform ior operate within its normal parameters, when all is normal. Only thing that will cause this to not one, but now a second pump…would be it seeing a serious back...

    Staying warm on boat in the winter

    Hi...so this is something that I and an almost uncountable number of other boat owners are very well versed with...just from living and boating in Scotland. I won't need to tell you all, that Scotland has a climate almost like no other on the planet. We can literally see 4 seasons in one...

    Me too. Would love to hear or learn that some fletchers actually made it across here. Very well known and trusted boats over here. They actually put themselves out of business years ago…one of the reasons famously given, was that the boats in circulation (even from the 70’s and 80’s) lasted and...

    Have you checked that the drive pin that goes through the top engaging gear is in place ? That allows the engagement, by means of following the spiral climbing slot up the shaft, when rotated…if you get me. Hopefully the drawing below depicts as much. If there is no means or ability for the gear...

    2022 MerCruiser turns-no ignition

    Unfortunately what you have tried, still doesn’t rule things out around the battery. You’re doing similar to what is so commonly done, then ruling out the battery as at fault. The battery may still take a charge of sorts and you may also have applied a booster pack to it. But if the battery is...

    Ah. So I didn’t know you were in fact in the Americas. I presumed you were over here in the uk or Europe, with the mention of a fletcher. That being the case, it’s surely most likely of a build native to over there. Have you tried searching for similar from the usual brands of that type over...

    Mystery Knock -- Insurance and Warrantee

    this is all very strange to me...a "2 year old efi 5.7" would be a rare find. Is she an aftermarket or rebuilt engine ? even if she was an mpi..that would be rare at 2 year old. they aren't producing them now, unless its a reman or quicksilver thing ? anyway..if she is a later mpi, they have a...

    2022 MerCruiser turns-no ignition

    hi...this is absolutely odds on to be caused by a very common, simple and always overlooked or dismissed reason. happens so often with these mpi and caught me out a few times in the early days too. I am made more positive by the mention you made around the momentary kick as you let go the key...

    Got you. I think that’s maybe quite normal on these mpi and gxi things. Every other I know does similar. Within reason of course.
