    Calibrating SC1000 guage after repower

    Yeah. There are a few ways. You can either calibrate it by filling the tank in increments and entering at each stage of level until it’s full...or easier is to tell it what your tank capacity is and it works it out from there.

    Drilling Into a Mercury 4 stroke EFI Engine Cover

    It’s a double sided sticky mounting pad I have used for mounting chart plotters and fish finders on my dash (without the need to drill holes) very cheap and effective. Most of all...not permanent damage causing

    Need the Prop Gurus!

    Compression test time, I’d say. You’re already suspiciously low pitched if it’s a 17”, I’d say. Other than that...I haven’t ran any of your numbers through a prop slip calculator, but I’d be pretty sure they won’t be good or make sense. Something isn’t right.

    4.3 Mercruiser cold start issues

    It sure sounds like Chris has the answer...outside the usual auto choke issues that are common. I’ve had two of these engines and was actually out on a Friend’s boat with one yesterday that has the same issue. What chris is saying makes total sense. Spot on. Can’t believe I didn’t know this...

    1998 3.0 limited RPM

    I’d be amazed if you were only getting 4000 rpm with a 19”. If all else is healthy and normal gear ratio. Check the tachometer

    Hi. Is it the 4.3 that takes a feed of the oil pressure to run the fuel pump ?

    out drive gear lube

    I think there is no way you should get another litre in there between the vent level and the tank. see if the float is stuck or if the alarm is for something else.
