    Shift plate

    Your motor did not use a shift plate, it mounted all the components to the top of the valve cover. Note all the stud locations. If unable to mount it there, as before it could be mounted in other locations. Could even use some aluminum strap metal from the hardware store. Make a bracket for...

    2006 Q4: Strange dash light and won’t start

    Look for a 15 or 20 amp fuse/breaker on the red/purple wire feeding the key switch. It will either be in the fuse box or can be a inline fuse on the red/purple wire

    Where to start? Mercruiser Overheat / Thanks

    When overheat starts, you always start with the impeller. Does "dealer required" mean you have a receipt that the dealer did replace the impeller? Get a 1 ft piece of clear hose, a hose clamp and male barbed fitting from the hardware store. Disconnect the hose coming from the drive at the...

    Mercruiser 5.0 MPI Bravo 3 overheat 5 minutes after starting it up.

    With a distribution valve you have the 3 point. There are also check balls at the bottom of each exhaust manifold. If they stick open, then water is reduced going to the motor. Get a IR temp gun and take readings at different places to see where things are hot
