    VP 5.7 Gi-F Riser &Manifold Gaskets / Spark Plug Questions

    Unable to say anything about the gasket but everyone is going to iridium plugs because they say they last longer. Merc uses AC 41-993 (was 41-932) I would use AC MR43LTS and not bother with high priced plugs but that's just me What's your serial number?

    1998 Mercury 40 hp - Power Trim issue

    The red wires your holding is battery power to both relays. The Blue and Green wires are what comes from the trim motor. Use a voltmeter to trace the connections. I could be your problem is the other relay. One relay switches and the other stays in place for the return leg

    Core return of Mercruiser

    No expert for what Merc wants, but Merc like others send complete motors out for rebuild. When buying a reman motor from Merc it all can be used parts that meet specs for reuse. If your buying a new motor then you should be able to keep your old one, but if buying a reman, then maybe not so...

    350 mag drain plugs?

    That's a CAT motor and more then likely it will have a single point drain system. I see a blue plug (I think) on top of the motor, front port side. It may have the air pump drains on the sea water pump. Something like this kind of setup

    350 mag drain plugs?

    Depends on which 350 and its cooling system The GM 350 has 2 plugs, one on each side of the block. Exhaust 2, one on each manifold If EFI will have one on fuel cooler/module Were up to 5 now Then add in 2 more if its a newer Bravo water pump, or maybe only one if not newest. In other words...

    Hot coil, no crank...

    If this is not a new to you boat and it just happened, need to check the neutral safety switch in the throttle control. Turn key to start and hold it there while moving it FWD/REV just slightly. Don't put it in throttle only mode. IF it cranks then that's all it is. If it doesn't fix it...

    Knock Sensors?

    Just don't fasten then along side the plug wires. They can run parallel for a short distance then try to get then as far apart as can be done. Many go across the motor and straight down over the manifold to the sensor

    Volvo Penta SX-M outdrive lower case rebuild

    Not a VP guy but maybe my comment will bring in another Most manuals list adjustments based on new and old components. New gears/bearings have tighter backlash then used ones. To increase backlash the gears need to come further apart and is usually done by removing shims on the bearing race

    Knock Sensors?

    It doesn't take all of the timing out, just the amount up to about 12* retard Looking at the bottom shading of pic above it shows: At 1000 rpm timing can go from 8* to -5* Above 1800 rpm timing goes from 25* to 12* It will vary based on the module and sensitivity of the sensor. The more knock...
