    smartcraft system, fuel level fault and no fuel gauge reading

    Might try using the setup wizard. Mine will do the full fault if the tank has 40 gal or less and I slow down. Then the fuel sloshes back and it goes away.

    2005 Chris Craft with 2 impellers overheating

    Look under the boat for a intake. MUC said there should be a Y connection so go from the brass pump and follow the hose back to the Y and then see where the 2 hoses go

    2015 Motor MerCruiser 4.5L 250hp NO EC - OVERHEATING!

    Will water go in the bottom of the man and come out the exhaust? If it does then it may be in the crossover or the poppet valve

    2005 Chris Craft with 2 impellers overheating

    Agree, but we need to know is it the Alpha to Bravo connection which is causing the overheat, or something else I actually think it would work fine to remove the drive impeller and plate so water flows freely, but has not been tested that I know of

    A Tic may just may just mean the Bat is dead. First post mentioned it was on a charger, the charger is compensating for a bad Bat

    OMC 350 not starting (I need suggestions on why)

    Good Then lets work on voltages to were they should be. Probably something simple like a kill switch or other. Put a meter on the Battery and see if you can read 12.7V

    2005 Chris Craft with 2 impellers overheating

    ok, I'm old and slow but are you saying this install should have had thru hull pickups and block off plates, or something else?

    2005 Chris Craft with 2 impellers overheating

    I looked your motor up and both Alpha and Bravo show a belt driven raw water pump (Bravo type). Look forward to what Fun Times finds. I would bet a nickle there should not be a impeller in the drive

    2005 Chris Craft with 2 impellers overheating

    Does the more raw water pump run from a belt of off the crankshaft? Hey @Fun Times can you look up this serial number 0W312448 Looking to see if it came with additional raw water pump

    2005 Chris Craft with 2 impellers overheating

    Something jut doesn't sound right about that. Has a Alpha drive and Bravo or crank mounted water pump? Which other pump does it have? My initial thought is motor was getting hot and original dealer had a motor run pump installed. From my thought I would rather see the impeller removed from...

    Gas and fuel mix recommendations for JW-10

    I'm no expert on the old OB motors (hope to see some of those folks chime in) but do know that ethanol is bad for the old I/O's. 91 octane gas won't hurt the motor but you may have slightly less HP. The higher the octane the slower the gas burns
