    winterizing merc?

    I'm not seeing the single point drain with your motor so you should have 5 points. One on port side front for the recirculating water pump hose, 2 exhaust mans and 2 block drains (item 13). https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/31841/11741/180

    winterizing merc?

    You did say you pull the plugs but come on guy, ya been here since 2015 and using this kind of thing is just bad. The thermostat dos "not" stay open, so moving pink thru the motor does not go everywhere, and it gets diluted by any water in the block. Back to your question: Sounds like you...

    Merc 350 Mag fuel problem

    Go to the local auto parts place that rent tools. Get a fuel pressure gauge and connect it to the fuel rail. There is a Schrader valve under a cap same as bicycle tire. Use the button on the side to bleed the air out of the gauge until gas comes out of clear tube. Tune the key to ON and OFF a...

    Shift/throttle cables - difference in lengths?

    Cable lengths do not matter so long as they reach. A cable 10ft will move the inner core the same amount as a 20 ft cable. Can be longer to make it easier or short to keep it compact. Bend radius is the main thing to consider

    Mercruiser Electrical Issue- Low power. Help pelase!

    Yes, I understand the fuse issue The TKS module works very slowly, open when cold and closed when warm. If power was disconnected it would not move until it started getting cold which would take a while. After the module closes the carb works the same as all other 2bbl carbs. If float level...

    Volvo 5.7 Gi-B Throttle Issues

    Check fuel pressure, should be 50 to 60 psi. Need to leave the gauge on it when this starts happening to see if the pressure starts to drop. Might be the tank vent, antisiphon valve or a fuel line restriction. If the fuel tank vent line is a little clogged then the pressure starts going down...

    Merc 350 Mag fuel problem

    Isn't what I asked Only a carb motor "may" benifit if the throttle is pumped, you do not have a carb motor. Since there is an issue with the restart then it may be the IAC (Idle Air Control) valve. Put throttle in "throttle only mode", and move it forward only about an inh or so. Do not move...

    Merc 350 Mag fuel problem

    S/N for others is 1A335113 Is it a Bravo drive and open cooling or closed? Also mechanical throttle or digital? If distributor cap and rotor has not been changed do change it. The caps have been know to look great and be bad. Its best to keep a spare in the boat at all times Has the motor...

    1999 Volvo Penta 5.0gi-A tbi bogging and backfiring

    Are their any codes? Need a scanner on the motor to see what the sensors are showing as motor is throttled up. Does the TPS show the increase? What about the MAP?
