    USA Pres alert

    Have been told you cannot opt out of the alert, but think if you never signed up for any alerts on your phone, then you don't get them. Admiral received alert (also receives Amber, Rev 911, weather and others), but I got nothing. I have not signed up for anything on the phone, but do get them...

    Key wont turn engine over

    If holding the key to start and moving the shifter a tad fwd/rev does not cause the motor to crank, find the slave solenoid on the motor. Jump across the 2 top contacts to see if the motor cranks. If it does crank, then measure the voltage on the small terminal below the larger ones on the...

    Wet Winterization

    Suggest a submersible pump and place in a plastic egg crate. Then attach what ever is needed to hold the crate under the water even with about the depth of the hull. Add PVC pipe that will extend to the edges of the hull. Can then add a thermostatically controlled switch to turn it ON/OFF, or...

    can't insert alignment tool after replacing gimbal bearing

    The tool I have will determine how to adjust once the tool is in the coupler. Even with a new bearing it should not be that hard to get the tool started in the coupler, unless something is wrong, like if the rear mounts compressed, or front moved. This is the alignment tool 91-863372

    1994 Four Winns Horizon 215 5.8L EFI OMC

    In most cases higher octane does nothing more then empty your wallet faster. It can reduce the motors efficiency because it burns slower. If the ECM (like mine) it can cause the motor to retard timing because it could not test the knock sensor. My ECM test for the knock sensor operation on...

    This was an issue with Merc gen 3 cool fuel modules, VP didn't use them so no issue. The Gen 2 cool fuel did not have the issue. Not your issue, but to clarify, I contacted Merc last month for this same question on another forum. They replied with Gen 3 cool fuel module Yes, and it could...

    1998 Mariner 40ELPT - trim and tilt issue has me perplexed

    Sounds to me like you have a bad connection on the Green/White wire going to the up relay. It makes connection but the connection isn't good enough to pass the amount of current needed to run the motor

    350 Mag mpi leaky exhaust gasket

    If you have the wiring diagram below, there can be only two choices, and they fire four injectors at a time. To verify look at the wire colors on the injectors. If you only see Lt Green/White and Lt Green/Purple along with Pink/White, then injectors are fired 4 at a time. If you have more...

    No power to ignition/dash after changing battery.

    There should be an inline fuse holder on the Red/Purple wire feeding the ignition key. This wire comes from the 50 amp breaker then thru the engine plug to the key. The purple wire feeds all the gauges and the more once the key is turned ON
