    Mercruiser 7.4l engine rotation

    Look at the props, if the prop rotates CCW going forward the motor is LH, if it rotates CW then its RH. Standard is LH

    Is this the wiring for my alarm?

    That is a connector which would go to a switch to turn sound the alarm. The alarm is in a pic below and note the two individual wires. The harness is made for different models and it could be used an inboard transmission temp switch. If I remember correctly you have smartcraft which is...

    '84 3.0 wiring

    Don't know of any ALT which uses just two wires other then a one wire ALT that also has a ground wire. Being an 84 your motor is listed as the 140 and wiring is below. Note BIA is the standard boating industry wire colors which started in the 80's

    Fuel Supply Problem

    The kill switch (as called man overboard) in most cases is part of the throttle/shifter. It has a lanyard attached to it, so if the driver falls overboard it kills the motor. In pic below you can see the switch to the bottom left of the control. If your not getting 12V it can be bypassed for...

    Smartcraft guage no data from ECM

    Don't know how to test it, but my thought is something became disconnected, could be the cable, pin or even inside the gauge.

    Engine/Throttle Cable Doe Not Throttle Down Smoothly

    I'm thinking something is loose or not there. Look at the shift plate and see if the cotter pin is there and everything is connected

    mercruiser 3.0 audible alarm and ignition fuse issue

    Howdy If this is actually true, it would be the first motor ever produced and a lot of years that didn't have them. Being a 2005 this is even more a case of having all those switches. This is the standard 3.0 wiring without TKS. Note section "C" these are the 3 switches

    2007 4.3L alarms

    All the sensors disconnected which I'm assuming oil pressure, water temp and drive lube. You probably don't have this being a TKS, but just in case. Look on your shift plate and see if you have a gear switch. Otherwise you probably have a pinch on the Tan/Blue wire going back to the alarm

    5.0 mercruiser mpi fuel pressure

    Your fuel pump is first Gen cool fuel with boost pump and does not have any paint in it and it never has. The paint was found only in the first years of the Gen 3 cool fuel like the one below When the pin is removed the line is being held in place by its O rings only. They are just stuck and...

    Bravo III duo prop corrosion

    No problem-o, the carrier is what holds the rear bearings and one of the two seals. There are two seals one for each shaft. Yes to inspect the props would need to come off. The inner nut is 2 13/16 and outer nut is 1 7/16

    connecting mooring line to chain/clip?

    The braided poly is better then the stranded stuff but its still poly, even though not as slick. Either way the best is the halyard, and the main reason is its very hard to untie once a load is placed on it. A sailors knot is is to tie and unties, hence why the halyard would be best. Its a...

    78 Mercruiser Alpha One 5.7 runs cool on muffs but overheats quickly on raw water?

    Being a 78 model I think your cooling system is probably like in the pic, unless the exhaust has been converted to newer style.

    Exhaust gaskets

    The 2 slot gasket is used to help keep some restriction above the manifold to keep them full of water. Water flows the path of least resistance and if 4 slots were used one side of the manifold would get more cooling water then the other. The 4 slot gaskets are only used when extension risers...

    6 inline temp question

    You have receipts for exhaust manifolds but in my opinion it isn't for the ones on your motor. I'm seeing some major rust on there

    Mercruiser Alpha One 3.0 L engine stalls in gear

    Yes, BUT needs to change a bit. The original design the carbs used pumice or stone type filters and the spring is on the carb side. When changed to paper or later strainers, the spring goes on the nut side. To flush line I would remove from carb and pump, then blow out with air. Would also...

    Stuck spreader pin in steering pin!

    With transom plate removed can you get a tie rod separator in enough? The issue with the separator is it can apply a lot of force and the yoke arm can take it, but the housing is cast aluminum.

    1985 Mercruiser 140 fuel problem

    OK, if you can remove the plug, but cannot remove the fitting with the fuel line on. Find out if the one which the plug was removed has a tube which goes to the bottom of the tank. If it does, install a 90 degree fitting and another anti siphon valve and attached fuel line to it. Then plug...
