    Volvo Penta 3.0 Beeping and Ggoing Into Limp Mode

    Thanks, it's a 3.0 GXI-J MPI You need a scanner to see what codes are showing up. The only way to know is with a scanner Rinda makes the scanner and you will need either the Diacom software which uses your laptop, or Techmate Pro is a hand held. The Diacom is more versatile and cost more but...

    2009 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI temp gauge question.

    2009 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI temp gauge question.

    Normally the gauge is not that far off, its either the gauge or sender. Connect a ohm meter to the sender and place in pan of water on the stove. Put another thermometer on the pan and heat up the water. Should be close to 240 ohm cold and 33 ohms hot The the PS pump is what's making the noise...

    2006 Monterey Boat with a 4.3L Mercruiser TKS Engine S/N 0w354897 Mysterious Loss of Power

    Fuel pump gets 12V full time when motor runs. There is nothing to give it more or less voltage If the tank vent is clogged, as the pump sucks fuel from the tank a vacuum will start increasing until a point where the pump can no longer suck enough to move any fuel. The vacuum will start sooner...

    2002 5,7 Mercruiser exhaust manifold keeps cracking - 5 times this summer

    Another thought is if the cylinder is running lean and causing enough heat to crack the manifold then it should also warp the valves, and that's not happening

    2006 Monterey Boat with a 4.3L Mercruiser TKS Engine S/N 0w354897 Mysterious Loss of Power

    Pumping the throttle on a TKS does things but if motor has sat long enough then carb is dry and pumping is doing nothing, but pumping air Crank motor a few seconds before pumping the first time if it has sat for a while Look at fuel pressure to the carb. Need a Tee fitting to do this but it...

    Welcome This is the first mistake, and second is most likely he does not "actually" understand marine motors. He just thru parts at it and didn't know how to test The VP 3.0 comes in many versions, first tell us which one you have?

    Mercury Demand, Demand Linear, Demand Guardian

    My understanding Auto trim has 5 settings. Manual says to setup using 3 for normal cruise. As speed is decreased trim is adjusted. Then down button which selects 2 and so on to 1 as speed slows. Same goes with 4 and 5, which 5 being close to or at WOT.

    VP 5.0GXi-B issue - low RPM/problem with a plane

    When looking at the front of the motor, number 1 cylinder is the right front spark plug. To get motor at number 1 Top Dead Center (TDC) the crank shaft would be rotated until both valves are closed and the piston is at top of stroke. To find stop of stroke the valve cover would be removed to...

    Mercury Demand, Demand Linear, Demand Guardian

    Back out yesterday with a head wind, and D and DL are both at 100% around 5950 rpm. Guardian stayed at none on Techmate The dealer who set the auto trim up did a pretty good job at slow cruiser and WOT, not so much at a bit faster cruise. During WOT run I took over and trimming in either...

    Battery isolater , 2 alternators

    Don't know of anyone which makes a 2 ALT 3 bank isolator, I would suggest 2 ACR's Eng 1 thru ACR to house Eng 2 thru ACR to house The ACR will not let the house be over charged so feeding the house from either motor should supply house Bat with power when either are running.

    Might not fully understand but the gimbal bearing does move around. A new one is real stiff and an old one will have a bit more play but should not be sloppy
