    5.0 Mercruiser Cutting Out While Underway

    The issue is electrical. Motor cuts out and back on wouldn't be fuel. Being electrical it can be a bad connection ground or hot side, key switch and pretty much anywhere there may be corrosion. There have been a lot of trouble with the 2 wire modules and this is why Merc changed it. No one...

    new GM 5.7 engine holes near oil filter

    WOT Issue (Maybe?)

    Unless VP recommends Premium fuel, all it will do is reduce the HP slightly. Unless your fuel is real old I don't see it being that right now.

    A/c malfunction

    Turn AC on and use a shop vac at the exit port to see if water will start flowing. Probably needs cleaning and impeller

    WOT Issue (Maybe?)

    Boat gauges are almost always not accurate. Changed prop from 19P to 20P and now your getting 4900 rpm. Even though a stainless prop blades are thinner, going back to 19P will increase the rpm some. The change will not get it back to 5800. Note: for future reference, if any motor is reaching...

    new GM 5.7 engine holes near oil filter

    Just get the GM or Merc equivalent filter, it will have what the manufacture requires. Many filters have a anti-drain back valve. This would be necessary if you were going remote, and your not

    Buying a 210s limited

    Not an OB guy, but have heard they are good motors Not a price snob, but it is where you start. Bought a 1995 Rinker new and had it for 27 years, just sold this year. It was a very good running boat. Issues where trim, electrical connections, and general hardware. Rinker is also a entry...

    Mercruiser 3.0 MPI ETC, Oil pressure sender issue? I can't find it.

    Need to fix the kink in the fuel line. Might see if it can be turned another 270* so it points side ways and straight out. This will provide enough room to keep the kink from happening. On the same subject, the fuel line is fairly skinny and doesn't look like USCG type A1. See if you can...
