    Mercury Trim Switch Blowing Fuse (unusual circumstance)

    NO expert, just a idea When in reverse the pressure is increased inside the trim cylinder so the valve that keeps the drive from coming up out of the water holds tight. The trim motor turns ON and the motor stalls because the pressure is to great Why ya trimming up in reverse?

    Remote tilt switch

    I don't have a VP 8.1 wiring diagram, but the others show it should be plug and play. This is assuming the wiring is just a parallel connection with the original switch. Is that a Red/Purple wire on the motor side?

    Look good enough to run. Changing gap won't cause a non-run issue unless the coil is taking a dump. Very few coils actually go bad

    1987 mercruiser wont start with choke.

    The solenoid Kenny is talking about is part of the starter. That's the slave solenoid which is what I was talking about. The yellow/red wire on the bottom of it is wire I mentioned Do you have a distributor with points or electronic?

    1987 mercruiser wont start with choke.

    Note: If you have points distributor and not TB4 (TB4 came out in 1982) With points there is a wire coming from the starter solenoid to the + side of the coil. This wire powers the coil when the motor is cranking. If you have points then check this connection

    1987 mercruiser wont start with choke.

    Have 2 problems but fixing this one will probably fix the other. Being a 1987 it would have TB-IV ignition. First thought would be the ignition switch. Put a voltmeter on the + side of the coil. Disconnect the small Yellow/Red wire from the slave solenoid so the starter won't crank. This...

    1994 Volvo Penta 5.7 GL Timing Setting Procedure

    Wait, might have mis-spoke. If you have an EST distributor then need a timing plug to ground the left side plug. Here is a 4.3 but will be the same

    No fuel, that's the problem Pump gets powered from the yellow/red wire when cranking, and the purple once started. Check for power when cranking. If not present trace back to starter relay and oil pressure switch

    Same comments as in your Dec 13th post https://forums.iboats.com/threads/short-in-my-analog-gauges.752727/ Assuming the motor still runs its just the gauges Look for a loose connection, most likely a ground. Start wiggling wires behind the helm

    Agree, Nav should not be ON at anchor. Check for a diode on the switch

    Don't know about the "push pin" but if the hole is a different size then use the old, it will work fine
