    Upgrade to Dual alternator on Mercruiser, Bad Idea?

    RT your link is for a standard single three wire ALT install. The light is there so it the ALT shorts out then there is a ground and the light will light. This is the setup for just about all boats other then the light. I thought you would show us how your Trucks and tractors were wired up...

    Shinny Pretty Lights and Gadgets

    It all started with wanting to redesign my helm. I don't need the speed-o, use the gps. Like the idea of moving some of the gauges into a large screen. The good thing is mine is a single engine so I have room. My gps is the 536s (just looked it up) and does a nice with chart plot, speed and...

    Shinny Pretty Lights and Gadgets

    Don't know how much I'll get from this because I'm puzzled (which doesn't take that much). Been wanting to redo my helm with all the new pretty bobbles, gadgets and cool stuff. No I don't need the stuff, just want to do it and unable to figure out what I need to get. Looked at Simrad...

    Blower, bilge and trim all stopped working at once

    This is the trim limit switch. The drawing below is simplistic but the Blue/White and Purple/White at the pump go to those wires. It also doesn't matter which one goes to which

    Hydrofoil Question

    Howdy Never used or seen anyone use the one your looking at. There are many styles and most of the semi soft ones will not help anything, only create more drag. I installed this one on my Rinker when it was about a year old. Had to drill four holes and it allows the boat to plane at lower...

    Trim switch replacement 88688A25 - A27

    Trying to figure out how to get the cover (item 5) off the trim switch (item 4) so I can replace it. Tried a little screw driver, a little channel locks and so far nothing. Could squeeze down hard but might break it. Already bought the switch, and should be simple if the cover will come off. Who...

    TNT relay assy question..

    Hi bob, ya know you should start a new thread. But to answer the question, what you have above is in the pic below and using the standard sealed relays. Relays are relays and most all work the same why, they just have larger or smaller contacts. The larger contacts (such as with trim pump...

    '94 mercruiser 3.0 rough idle on cold start

    You might be able to get it out with a left handed drill bit, and then maybe an easy-out, but I would suggest getting another carb. This one has some real issues, and it would be best to start fresh. From your vid at 51 seconds in it appears you have the Delco EST ignition, so your timing...

    Mercury 350 magnum problems please help

    Just to clarify what I believe we are working on. In the first few post we were told it is a 1997 350 mag 300 HP MPI. Being that setup it should be the motor listed in the first column and the pressure should be 43 psi. If someone installed a different regulator the psi will be held at 30...

    2000 Merc 5.0 V8 EFI No Start

    Sure if you can see it, would be easier to go and pick up a spark gap gauge at the auto store. No, the ones for auto's will not work. You can make one with a resistor led and a paper clip. Find the DLC connector, install led as shown, then the paper clip. Turn the ignition ON and start...

    Started to get off trailer, now won't start

    OK, I see your issue. This is why when the sensor is replaced they provide terminals with bullet connectors, yours currently does not have them. When a new sensor is replaced, the wires coming from the sensor in the distributer are removed. The ring terminals are put together with the short...

    How to remove a gear housing drive shaft?

    OK my bad, You can remove the retaining nut with a drill instead of using the special tool. The carrier bearing removal depends on if you have early or later style.
