    Cannot go faster than 10 MPH, but runs fine in neutral.

    The manual shows this is where a bushing is located Only issue is when the part is looked up it does show the item, only a kit 23-806036A1 (item 6) http://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/s...30862/2686/100 When the part is looked up, there is only one bushing shown, but there would need one...

    Paint remover

    Everything is masked off except the boat jacks. Will do those just prior to painting, and still need to laydown some plastic. Think I'll pull the Rinker out before spraying also

    Help please so close to being on the water!!

    Howdy The trim gauge is mounted to starboard, the limit is to port. The trim gauge or trim limit senders does not matter which wire goes to which plug, one is a switch and one is a variable resistor. Only thing that matters is don't connect gauge to limit or vise versa Here is the wiring diagram

    Mild Gas Fume smell normal in aft storage?

    Being a 2011 I don't thing there has been enough time for the tank to spring a leak (IF it has an aluminum tank). I would check clamps, and then try filling the tank while your inside the boat watching the hoses. It could be the fill hose or vent has a slight crack. Just thought of something...

    Paint remover

    Think I'm going to try a wire wheel on a drill to get the paint off. May also pick up some sanding cones. The boat is off the trailer, so tomorrow I plan to move my compressor over. Make a trip to Bowling Green to pick up other stuff to be ready when I can have two good days to put 4 coats on.

    Paint remover

    Been reading how to use the sprayer, and its simple enough but going to need to go get some very small cleaning brushes. Says to clean the sprayer if not used after 5 minutes. Dang 5 minutes, kind of thinking I could stretch that a tad with using epoxy (doesn't dry as fast). In any case need...

    No spark to plugs

    Howdy, and man do I feel old :) Guess they no longer teach points in auto schools anymore Get a new set of points and a condenser and install. Loosen the distributor clamp bolt and rotate it so one of the distributor cam lobes are holding the points open. Use a 0.022 so when the motor is...

    3.0 mercruiser no spark problem

    This one is used to set timing and also connects to the shift interrupter As before, should have 12V on the purple wire, having that and everything else, I just don't know, it should either work, or show why its not

    Paint remover

    Talked to Glass Dave on OSO and said to use a pressure the HF pressure pot with a 1.4 to 1.5 mm sprayer. Picked up one which holds 64 oz from HF, some MEK from another place, and another 2 gallons of VC from iboats. Got the boat back today and Lake Cumberland Marine did a great job. They...

    1989 Mercruiser 5.0l won't start when hot

    Incorrect timing can cause heat to increase, but in a non-HP motor it isn't enough to notice. To find out if its the module, coil or other, your going to need to test. Suggest start with seeing if fuel is going down the carb when throttle is pumped. If you have fuel, then check the ignition...

    2002 350 Mag Mpi port exhaust hot

    While this is not the best pic, because it doesn't indicate the difference between raw and coolant. In any case, the Tee is a flush fitting and the piece on top is the flush connection. It is used to flush the raw water side with fresh water. This fitting is not used when the motor is running.

    Mercuriser 888 1976

    There should be a Yellow wire coming from the key switch (S terminal). Cut the wire and run them to the neutral safety switch on the control. The pic below uses "Note 1" in the illustration identifying the circuit

    4.3l swap question

    I would recommend changing over to the newer style cooling system. To do this you would use the 4 port thermostat and single hose to each manifold. You can install the older style on your newer motor, but would take more plumbing

    Hot Exhaust Hoses on Ford 351w Inboard

    Howdy There isn't a lot of items for a closed system. Stated the impeller was changed, but if the housing is scored or worn it may not be pumping enough water. Check your seawater pick up through hull, valve and strainer. Might need to go under the boat to get a visual of the pick up. See...

    Wiring help needed under helm of Tahoe with mercruiser 4.3

    As BT mentioned, the Yellow/Red wire is the start circuit. This should come from the Key "S" post then to the neutral safety switch, then to the small post on the slave solenoid. Put a meter on the wire and turn key over to Start position to see if their is 12V. Also check if there is 12V...

    Mercruiser 5.0 MPI distributor issue

    First, it was not off by a tooth Second, with the misfire above 2000 rpm's its still not right Third, this is how you set timing for your motor Bring number one to TDC. To do this you need to make sure it is at TDC. Get a TDC stop bolt, and can be found at many places...

    Building a 12V Herbacide Sprayer

    I hear ya Mike, have thought of that. Don't plan to fill it up, to start maybe no more then 50 gallons to see how it works, increase if it works out. Its an IBC type tank and if need be will put on a trailer. Wouldn't mind having a PTO but that is even more money. Guess I could make...
