    Repower

    I installed these originally on the 502 and currently list for $1950 and used with silent choice, can find online cheaper. The manifolds are aluminum and do have a gasket but only to ensure no exhaust gas leak (dry joint). Had to replace the tops with 3-inch higher rise ones when motor was...

    Preventative maintenance @ 150 hrs '95 350 mag

    I'm starting to really dislike photbucket, you go look at a pic and they start booming you with adds. I also use it just not much anymore Your serial number is 0F747372, if you out it in your signature along with the drive then it will always be there when you ask a question. You found the...

    Alternator low output

    I know you've done it but recheck those connections, the ALT is not working. One of the small wires goes to the purple 12V key ignition circuit. The other small wire is Red/Purple which comes from the starter and passes thru the 50 amp breaker. Also note that you might have a 90 amp fuse on...

    Moving a Hydrohoist

    Anyone ever try to move a Hydrohoist boat lift? Have read and can for the most part figure out how to move one, the issue is if anyone has actually or helped someone move the lift. Been looking around and the marina I'm at will only allow hydrohoist, I can find other brands for less and in...

    Testing your boats fuel system.....

    You have a restriction or leak somewhere. In your first post you said the pump was unable to create a vacuum, this being the case means you have a leak. Need to install a clear line and check for bubbles The lag in many cases is the accelerator pump either does not have the correct stroke or...

    Wont Stay Running - MerCruiser 4.3LX (GEN +) (2 BBL.) GM 262 V-6

    I to see it as running out of fuel and the pump is not running once its started. Runs for minute, then just seconds Has the key switch been replaced? The wiring should be that there is 12V on the purple wire going to the OP switch. When starting 12V is supplied to the fuel pump by the...

    Audible warning switch location

    There are three switch/senders on your motor. The oil sender to show pressure on the gauge, the fuel pump switch to turn pump off if oil pressure is lost, and the warming horn switch that sounds the horn.

    Boat porpoising

    Your motor is to far away from the transom. The motor has about a 15 to 20 degree angle from the transom. Your transom is about straight up and down, if it was tilted back a bit more, your trim out should not be an issue. I don't know how to fix, the reverse hook needs to be there for backing...

    Bought boat.......uh....oh....

    Howdy Don't see any way to remove the tank and locker walls without removing the deck, guess its possible but going to be a pain. Since those areas are soft, my guess is the stringers are also. Check the lower section of the transom area with a screw driver down low. If you can push it in...

    no power to ignition switch

    This appears to what you probably have. The wires going to the transmission should go to the ignition

    Diagnostic confirmation please

    With the 3 point system you don't have the check balls (7 point) in the lines feeding the exhaust, but you do have the dreaded single main drain and the Tee fittings. The pic below shows where issues have come up from other times which cause issues. You mentioned replacing everything so you...

    4.3lx brass float measurements

    If this is a Q-jet its a tad more then 1/4 inch (really 3/16 in most cases). Reason for using a tad more is due to up/down and banking of the boat. Doesn't matter if the float is brass or composite. The bass float needs to make sure there isn't a hole/crack in it. Most those come in where its...

    How to support 1988 Merc 5.7L Mag on wood while replacing the coupler?

    I used chains for years until last year when I had my motor built. The builder says they always use 1 inch lifting straps under the exhaust manifolds. So I tried it and it did work very well, so I'll be don't it from now on that way.

    OMC Wiring Please Help!

    Sure looks like you have a medal of a hess To go from three to one wire, just disconnect the purple and sense leads and connect output power lead direct to the starter post or positive battery terminal. This does not make sense to my small mind. If you do not have the solenoid then you...

    1986 Larson Senza Tilt will go down but not up - How to troubleshoot and fix

    This means either your trim limit switch has gone bad, the switch in the throttle handle is bad, or the wiring going to the trim limit switch is bad. Being a 1986, my guess is the limit switch on the drive (starboard side). Here is the wiring diagram, note the Blue/white and Purple/white wires
