    Inaccurate Compression readings due to low battery?

    The short answers don't help but.... Same as I said, motor needs to be warmed up before running a compression test That said I'm not so worried about the high numbers (normal is max 150). So your seeing more then 150 which is not so much, it's probably just a gauge accuracy issue. IMO it...

    Verado Gen5 Stales

    It's fuel supply Reving in neutral burns very little gas. Shouldn't flood the motor with removing the cowling but you know your motor better then I. Mine is the V8 verado and the air intakes are high on the back Start slow and watch to see

    Inaccurate Compression readings due to low battery?

    Moved thread to Merc Always start a thread with what your working on, there are a lot of different ones. It's best to have the motor warmed up, throttle held full open then crank to take readings. With a cold motor I wouldn't need to look further into it. Put a couple squirts of oil in the...

    Pinion gear timing to driven gears in B3 upper housing

    It's best to remove shift cam to align the marks. Once drive shaft is installed, then reinstall shift cam.

    Verado Gen5 Stales

    Have you put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail schrader fitting? I don't know what the reading should be (don't have the manual) but what ever it is it should be steady. Service manual 8M0133008

    Verado Gen5 Stales

    Does seem like fuel. I don't know your serial number but it appears the motor might have 3 filters. Reg Canister type (item 12) and out one (item 3) https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/32751/16774/286 Then a inline (item 28)...

    Sea/Lake Food

    I like white fish a lot, just about only thing I find in the store is tilapia and that's just not worth it. If I take fishing back up I can get plenty of blue gill, bass and others

    Rev 4 to something else

    Note Q PM'ed me with a vid of using a 17P Rev4 and 17P Mirage Plus. The M+ did better the R4 overall and for me that was surprising because my thought has been, 4 blade prop vs 3 blade means 3 blade should be 2 inch more to be the same. Now that said, the test did not use a scanner attached to...

    Rev 4 to something else

    To clarify further for those who may wish to know about Demand control and how it works when propping. Demand level is King, you want to see the Demand at 100% at WOT. This means the motor is giving everything it has and is not being held back This pic shows under prop. This has correct prop

    Rev 4 to something else

    Not seeing a limiter so to speak, I watch the scanner which will display 4 elements RPM = Engine speed Demand Linear = Demand request by operator Demand = requested by control software Demand Linear with Guardian (DLG) = Demand requested by Guardian My new scanner is a 3 line unit so I can...

    Rev 4 to something else

    Don't want another 4 blade, I'm getting more stern lift now then I like Have 2 issues I'm trying to fix. Want to reduce WOT RPM and Get better bite when in Reverse The original Mirage has less cup so it should bite better in Rev. The added 1/8 diameter should be a mute point overall...

    Rev 4 to something else

    The M does not have any cupping of the blades. The M+ has cupping. More cup means more bite forward but less bite reverse. The new verados have Gardin built in so need to watch both to get max performance

    Rev 4 to something else

    280 OSX with twin Merc 250 V8 verados and Rev 4 19P Boat loaded is about 8800 Lb The Rev 4 is great going forward but not backing up. This boat comes with 3 blade props and don't know why they put Rev 4 on it. The hole shot is great but it goes into guardian (guessing) on the Tach at 6K RPMs...
