    Sea-fire alarm on start up

    ^^^Agree, it's the alarm sounding because there is no oil pressure. Older boats will do this unless there is a time delay relay like on higher end boats. Newer EFI motors don't do this because of the motors computer. A time delay relay can be installed to give you a few seconds

    4.3 GXI Pressure Test

    I would guess hoses are probably 5/8 ID, and if correct then I would use 1/2 inch SCH 80 PVC pipe, with solid cap. Find brass Tee and other fittings to connect schrader and gauge to PVC cap. Drill hole in cap then thread brass fitting in. Most raw water intake lines are 1 1/4 ID to the...

    Bad hesitation at 1200 rpm

    Doesn't have to be, but that is where it normally is placed. Just want to know where it is now. The accelerator pump can be moved if more fuel is needed. The power valve is what is used to transition from just above idle to more power.

    Replacing lift cyl power trim hose,how much heat to use?

    The manifold is aluminum and maybe what is actually causing the leak, but time will tell once apart. Removing the manifold will allow the heating to be done faster (less heat sinking) but then you have an issue of the gasket. I might try a heat gun before Map
