    Closed Cooling System on Port Engine Running Hot(ter)

    I don't think your moving enough water, if that is the pump or a restriction don't not right now. Water coming in is the same, it goes thru the cooler, heat increases. I see D as coming out of the HE, and this is where the temp jumps up. The heat change from then on is about the same as the...

    Oil pressure Sensor Leaking/Replacement

    Howdy That is the correct part for the oil gauge sender. Being brass it shouldn't rust off like the last one, but it may not be brass, might be zinc plating. If it's zinc as in the pic below, it will still rust, may want to paint. The sender has nut on the bottom, need a short open end...

Suggest going to an auto store which sells cork gasket material and make your self another gasket 2- The tank appears to have all kinds of rust or crud in there, going to need to keep your filters...

    Mercruiser 5.0 MPI no water pressure but cooling okay

    Starboard Engine Cutting out above 3000 RPM

    I'm thinking you may have a loose connection. Watching the vid I see the sync gauge deflect, also note it looks like the oil pressure gauge is about pegged. From this angle the rpm gauges don't appear to move much as the sync gauge does. Starboard tank is full and port is about half, engines...
