    '02 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI - Oil pressure switch location?

    A few things can cause it and there is a power reduction mode (limp) but when this happens normally there alarm sounds. Can check fuel pressure at the rail. Its probably 43 psi but would need your serial number to verify. The ECM could have some codes but would need a scanner to see what they are

    Bad Antenna?

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    No power under load

    Agree, need to check if the regulator or the pump is the problem unless your replacing both as a unit To see if its the Reg, block off the return line going back to the filter and see if it goes to 60 psi, but don't let it go higher can damage the Reg

    Galvanic Isolator in a ‘91 Express Cruiser

    Don't know but follow the wire coming in from shore power (which you probably have tried) to breaker panel. Also note it may have 2 main breakers inline. My Formula has one within 3 feet of shore power plug, and another on the breaker panel. My isolator is behind the breaker panel

    Mercruiser 3.0 No Spark issues

    If you haven't lost any power your probably ok. Only way to check is with a bore scope inside plug holes, otherwise have to pull heads. I would check timing and move on unless something is noticed
