    mercruiser 7.4 mpi cold start stalling

    Don't bother with the MAP, don't see how it will effect what your seeing. I'm thinking the Engine Coolant Temp (ECT) sensor or the connection to it is the problem. Below is how to test the circuit and you will need a test light and Volt Ohm meter. You don't need to remove the sensor to test...

    1990 SeaRay Sundancer 310 Complete Rebuild advice needed

    It is a pain and can get toward the lower end, but take your time and note what adjustment has what effect. I said .002 but it should be no more then .003 on an inch. The adjustment is close to the same but can vary a bit if your prop shaft goes completely thru the trans coupling instead of just...

    98 Rinker captiva 232 for $500.Should I do it? pics

    It's a roll of the dice. I would pull some plugs and see what they look like. Also is a saltwater boat, so that brings it's own issues. IMO the 5.0 EFI will still not be enough motor to have it move like you may like, but will work, hope it comes with a bravo 3. Last thing is the boat...

    Electric fuel pump interrupt

    Lets try this; during cranking the motor, power comes from the starter connection to the pump. After the motor starts, key is released and power is removed from the pur/yel from the starter, engine is running off fuel left in the carb. When oil pressure builds up, oil pressure switch is...

    Electric fuel pump interrupt

    Yes..... and ..... No Yes you can use the beeper circuit but you have to be on the positive side of the beeper/horn, basically your attaching to the purple wire. If you connect to the other side power goes thru the beeper before it gets to the pump.

    Mercruiser 454 computers

    My guess would be you have a MEFI 3 being your listed model year. So far as the map tuning, normally I wouldn't think it would be that much off. If it was placed in a real light speed boat, someone might have monkeyed with the turning. Even with that it should be able to push 300 plus HP. I...

    Use 3/6 hex wrench and remove the shift fork and shift lever Once screws are out use the top screw and thread into top of shift shaft Normally you can take pliers or even just you firgers to lift it out. I used a pry bar and just lightly bounced it on both sides due to the rust on the bottom.

    After 22 years and this is all

    Didn't pull the drive last spring or fall on the Rinker, reason only put maybe 15 hours on the boat. So the current plan was to take some friends out to the far end on the lake (22 miles). Figured going that far I need to do some checking. Pulled the drive and there was a little bit of lube...

    Prop help

    If this is a 4 stroke WOT should be between 4500-5500 rpm. So 5800 is a bit much, so going to a 21 pitch prop should drop the rpm around 400 rpm's. That said, are you sure your not over trimming? The manual shows it should be within the limits if you boat weights in around the 1600-2400 pound mark

    power steering cooler

    More then likely you need to cut the hose off a bit and reinstall. The one below is what I think you should have. The threaded ports on the right are for the engine oil cooler, the ones on the left are the power steering cooler ports.

    Question on Temp Rise 2000 5.0 Mercruiser

    If it climbs back up, I would remove the end cap off the heat exchanger and see if it needs to be cleaned. If exchanger is good, and assuming you have a bravo drive, I would remove the hose coming from the transom to the seawater pump. In most cases the hole is clogging up.

    You need a galvanic isolator. In the pic below note the isolators on the grounds from each feed. There should be a main ground buss which all grounds are connected. The wiring below also has an inverter and generator so they may not apply to your setup. Notes, you should also have a...

    Installing float switch to bilge pump?

    Here is one setup (note it has a on/off/auto switch). Not the best to be able to turn your bilge pump off This is a good and also IMO typical for boat installs, (note this does not need the alarm, may have a light) but will only use a single on/off switch Now with the above designs, are...
