    TKS system ~ Rough idle

    Howdy Check the diode in the harness. If the diode is open it will be hard to the engine to start when warm because it is getting to much fuel. Try this and let us know if this worked

    Starter

    Don't see the starter going out. The Ford 888 has a different wiring system but the basics are simple. The key turns to start which applies power to the yellow wire. The yellow wire energizes the starter solenoid at which applies power to the starter So you turn the key and it does...

    2002 Bayliner 2855 - MerCruiser 350 Mag Bravo 3 diagnostics package

    I would know better if I knew the engine serial number, but being the boat is a 2002, I'm assuming it would be a 555 ECM. The ECM is the one on the right If this is the case then there should be a 10 pin connector similar to this one on top the motor. This is a pic from an outboard, but...

    2002 Bayliner 2855 - MerCruiser 350 Mag Bravo 3 diagnostics package

    Howdy The thing with the 555 ECM is there are many things which can cause similar issues. Best way to fin out what is happening is to read the smartcraft gauge (if available) or have the engine scanned for codes. The list below shows all the possibilities. The one which gives most issue is...

    2005 mastercraft with indmar 8100 vortech no power in geat

    Water and electronics is never a good thing, even more so if it was salt water. How deep was the water? Does the motor make any beeps when the key is first turned ON, or other times while running? There are two position sensors, a crankshaft and camshaft sensor. The two sensors tells the ECM...

    BRAVO-ITIS Fix

    Replacing my pretty much everything rubber and plastic on my Rinker after 21 years, and decided to install the fix for Bravoitis. I didn't have an issue being in fresh water, but for those who boat in salt water, sooner of later this will probably be needed. No pics for disassembly, just the...

    Cooling system for Volvo Diesle MD17C

    Howdy If this is a raw water cooled motor then I don't see a vent/bleed screw. If it is closed cooling then there could be on the antifreeze side. There are two bleed screws for the fuel system which are used when the filters are changed, or it runs out of fuel. What caused the initial...

    2006 mercruiser 3.0 2 barrel carb help!

    Howdy With your motor being a 2006 I am assuming its a TKS carb and should be a Gen 2. The link to the carb manual is below http://boatinfo.no/lib/mercruiser/manuals/mercruiser41.html#/40 That said you should have two jets marked 170 and one marked 70. The 170 are the mains and the 70 is the...

    Closed Cooling System on Port Engine Running Hot(ter)

    The 4 holes on the top of the rail are used to bolt the rail to the manifold. The injectors use clips and gaskets to hold them in place on the rail. The gaskets on the injector ends seal the injector to the intake. The ports are there and resemble the bolt holes. These intakes are great for...

    Intermittent No Start - 2002 5.7L MPI After Sitting Warm

    That's the booster pump check valve fix. Any a lot of cases it does work, so long as you still let it idle a bit to cool down after a run. The theory is to keep the pressure up so it takes more heat for the fuel to boil. The check valve is to keep the pressure in, once built up to remain...

    Bravo 3 outer prop is gone along with the shaft. How can this happen?

    The snap ring on the inner prop shaft came off. Look at page 3D-6 in the link BT supplied. The inner shaft is slide in from the inside out. For the shaft and prop to be missing, the shaft snapped in half. To remove the shaft the carrier is removed then the retainer nut, then both shafts are...

    Mercruiser 7.4MPI Stuttering/Skipping after long runs

    The cap should be able to vent the air into the tank. There are several different designs other then the pic below. The cap should allow air in. Now if the tank end is clogged this to will cause an issue. Suggest removing the vent line and blowing sir thru it to see if it is clear.

    2007 Merc I/O Seems In Limp Mode

    I'm thinking the knock sensor or module. Look on the side of the block near the motor mount for the sensor. Can be part of the block drain when a Y fitting is used
