    No reverse after repairs

    It's possible, You can install the foot 180 degrees out. The screw is removed and shaft removed, and can be installed backwards. It should face toward the drive and not toward the boat

    Started to get off trailer, now won't start

    Have fuel, and probably no spark. Don't have your manual but you should have the TB-V ignition I'm thinking. The first thing is disconnect your tachometer (the gray wire). Tachs can short out and if that happens then no spark. If it won't start, run through this troubleshooting guide to...

    Motor won't idle

    You can adjust in with a flat tip screw driver. Idle should be adjust to 650 to 700 rpm in neutral. Don't know which carb you have but guessing it is a 4 barrel of either the Rochester or Weber make. Look on the side of the carb below where the throttle cable is attached. You will find a...

    Closed Cooling System on Port Engine Running Hot(ter)

    I see that as a bad move. If you put muffs on the drive, maybe wrap thin plastic around the drive, it can slow it down. The hose enters just above the drive shaft boot, and I'm pretty sure your water line is above it. I just installed the Bravoitest fix on my Rinker, so here is the pic of...

    152 IAC Code does not Clear

    Their different and the PCM has more functionality then the ECM. In the auto world a PCM = ECM + TCM (engine control module + transmission control module). The Merc does not control the transmission but since Motorola is making the PCM now. Have to go with the industry

    B3 delayed shift

    Don't see anything getting damaged inside the drive when shifting with motor stopped. I think its slop in the cable and jacket. The inner cable will wear a slot into the outer jacket, and the Bravo shift mechanism doesn't move much. The only things I can see that could wear inside and cause...

    350 5.7 TBI Throttle Cable Issue

    I would suggest first checking the sync of the throttle handle. Thinking you have bravo drives, place the control in neutral. Next remove the shift cable from the plate (top one). Now push the cable forward and mark cable, next pull it to the rear and mark the cable. Now mark the middle...

    Mercruiser 4.3 EFI Gen+ TBI

    I don't have the V6 wiring but do have the V8 which is the same in your case. You have a MEFI 3 ECM with a TB-V distributer. Power to the coil comes from the main power relay, and power to the distributer comes from the ECM. If you remove the sensor wires in the distributer the resistance...

    B3 delayed shift

    The movement uses a sliding clutch, one of the best in the business. Your getting the jump in gear because either the throttle control handle is not adjusted correctly, or there is slop in the cable. The Bravo is real smooth when adjust correctly and the throttle control is moving the correct...

    Intermittent Overheat 4.3 MPI Closed system?

    The wear plate comes as part of a kit for the Gen 7 pump. Its a stainless plate and gasket to place against housing. Don't know of a fix for the inside of the pump. It still gets me why they even went with that style pump, lots of folks are having trouble with them. The style pump does...

    Finding the exact wiring diagram for the 8.1 is going to hard. I've been looking for a while and nothing so far. Do have the this one which is an earlier model but do think the start circuit is pretty close.

    Help, Cant' locate replacement fuel pressure regulator 5.7LX EFI

    Merc had some real issues with the VST setup. Both the early MPI and TBI has the regulator made as part of the fuel rail and TBI. When cool fuel came out the regulator remained in the TBI but no longer regulated pressure. Another regulator was added to the cool fuel module and a vacuum line...
