    Hi. Bit more info there now…I suspect that you might now need a harness and/or you have a compromised cable or two. I’d check the main hot and earth post terminals on the engine. Check where the accessory multi plug wiring loom too. Meaning the loom that plugs into the engine and goes to sensors...

    Need advice ASAP 2007 Yamaha GP1300R

    Hi... My thoughts after being around a few 2 stroke Yamaha ski's over the years. As far a the 2 strokes go...this particular model is among the better of them all. Being the 2007 late and last of the 1300r, it featured fuel injection and had less issues with things like carbs and especially...

    5.0 mpi mercruiser

    Mmm. After what you’ve said there. Could be perhaps an ignition barrel related thing. But I also know that if the safety kill switch or neutral safety switch is activated, you will get no fuel pump. Is it possible that you may have a poor or shorting wire in this particular system ? I’d strongly...

    5.0 mpi mercruiser

    id start simple. given the intrusive nature of the removal and back in again...it's quite likely that you have a loose connection somewhere. I would start with the battery (you may have already), then any battery isolator or switch. then the ignition feed wire and around the main relays on top...

    Prop size

    hi. I honestly can't imagine that you are genuinely only seeing 3200 rpm. certainly at least, it is very unlikely that the boat in question is able to ever see 28 knots at only 3200 rpm, I would imagine. I think it perhaps more likely that the tachometer is reading wrong. Being a bravo 3 and...

    Need ideas on problem with 5.7L Mercruiser shutting down

    Hi Scott..are you meaning you think it’s not the issue or just pointing out that it’s a separate possible cause from an earlier suggestion? It would be at the top of my list of possible causes, given the details given.

    Dieseling after shut off and loud noise when trim is higher in shallow water

    Uj is rattling when trimmed up and the other issue is caused by the engine timing conditions. Before you go trying to adjust the timing though…I’d maybe just mention that it’s very likely that what’s happening is that you have water in your fuel or poor fuel…which is causing the affect.

    Aq 151a winterize first time. No water came out

    Hi. That is a closed internal cooling system. Running coolant from the muffs (terrible idea) is only putting water through the raw water side of the engine. The engine however, should have coolant in the closed side of things. Like the block. This should remain in the closed side at all times...

    winterizing a mercruiser 3.0 with sterndrive kept in water year round

    Some of the newer 3.0 have a sort of quick drain system AD. Basically there are high mounted hoses with a blue t handle. You in clip it and hold down low to drain. Probably what it is here perhaps. Not to be trusted, as you’ll know

    Need ideas on problem with 5.7L Mercruiser shutting down

    Hi. I suspect that your charging system isn’t working. Means your engine is trying to run on battery power alone. Unsustainably. Then the battery recovers enough after a whole…enough to start it..then perhaps run for a while. Check your alternator output. Check the charge getting to the battery...

    85 Mercury Black Max 150 Trim Problem

    Weird is that it will go up when under throttle !! Are you sure the throttle assembly components aren’t interfering with the trim wiring inside the remote control box ? Or something similar? Any issues with the relay wiring ? Or grounding system ?

    Gear oil for mercury 60hp

    Go to would be the usual quicksilver gear oil. You’ll need a litre bottle of it and the wee pump it can come with as an option. You’ll also need two of the fibre seal washers for the drain and vent points. No need for the high performance stuff on that engine, but there isn’t much price...

    You’d think so. But has been known to happen, as far as I gather. Thought I’d mention it anyway.

    Got you. Yeah. I have a VVM too. Great things. Did you see the bit about having to reset the ecu to configure starboard engine. Sometimes needs done by the sealer if there has been and Interruption

    Just to elaborate more on the mention of making sure it’s set to “starboard engjne”. You need to make sure it’s set to that on the gauge and on the engine ecu or pcm too. Just came to mind there that you may have had a short circuit in that harness somewhere or at the remotes (like I was saying...

    Meant to also ask…what’s the vf monitor ? Sorry to even ask this…but can I also ask that the terminator cap you used was obviously the yellow one ? Some engines come with a purple cap..looks similar but isn’t a terminator and won’t work. You’ll know all this, I’m sure. Came to mind there...

    No worries. The remotes was meaning the throttle and gear control unit up at the helm. Never sure what to call it on here. I’m from Scotland and normally call it the throttle probably…but aware that might be known as the remote control box in the us? Sounds like you might hopefully have a...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXi - Propeller selection

    Ok. You need to go full beans and trim up. Record the gps and rpms. I can tell you that I have the similar merc version of the engine..and you really want to be above 4800 for sure. Preferably around the 5k That’s where I think they make the power. Anything less is going to suffer. Especially...

    It’s very possible that something like a short inside the remote control box, may have carried through the harness from the remotes up to the gauges. Can I be so cheeky to ask if the tacho and Speedo both have their correct dedicated loom plugged into them ? Easy to mix them both up and the...

    Winterization of my Commodore 272

    Hi. If it does have one of the 290 umbrella outdrives (might not being a 96) make sure you either crack open the gear oil drain and look…or change oil. The 290 and its many variants and evolutions…are famous for taking water into the gear oil. Either by careless procedure and/or poor seal design
