    84 SeaRay Seville has hard time after 30 minutes

    Your post 32 was saying the dying after so much time has been fixed. Post 40 says its better but still doing it Compression numbers are good enough Fuel pump was replaced but you still have the classic problem which would say your running out of gas. So either the pump is not pumping correctly...

    Notification Issue again

    Not getting notified when someone post to a thread. This happened 6 to 8 months ago, and the fix (at least I think was the fix) was to change my notification to none, logout, login, add notification. I tried this method and a couple others and still nothing. It is showing up in messaging when...

    Acceleration Issue....stumped.

    If this only happens after the motor is hot and you stop for a while, it could be vapor lock. But with it not coming out of it by getting the rpms up then I would lean toward fuel pressure. The EFI motors could also be throwing codes and it would need to be scanned to see if any show up. Do...

    3.0L Mercruiser Shift Interrupt not working.

    Hey Top your posting is making it, you now have 4 threads going If the switch is not killing the motor when pressed then you probably have a wire not making connection. Check the Whit/Grn wire which goes to the distributor and the other which goes to ground. It could be you lost your ground...

    Have to jump starter solenoid for boat to start

    You need to check the connections on your slave solenoid with a voltmeter. It could be the neutral safety switch, key switch, bad connection or damaged wire. Start at the key switch and see if you get 12V on the Yel/Red wire. If its there, check for 12V on the small terminal with the Yel/Red...

    Too much throttle travel - Mercruiser

    No problem, and glad you asked, I posted incorrect info. I knew what I wanted to say but must have gotten my toungue in front of my eye teeth and couldn't see what I was saying. Measure from the bottom stud to the first cable and make sure its 3 inch (not 2) per pic below

    Anode question. This stuff is confusing.

    Not the expert on your drive but I think you have what looks like an OMC and may have been during the time VP was buying OMC. There is also a possibility that the anodes were installed there but not actually the real location, just guess. Here is a PDF file which has more info but still does...

    Engine will not idle after a good run

    Suggest you need to look a bit closer. The wiring diagram illustrates how wire are connected but NOT actually were they are connect at. Note in the drawing below all the Purple dots. The dots are marking were the purple wire runs to each component. When the ignition key is turned to ON, the...

    Thunderbolt IV ignition question

    No, is just a bit of oil. The seals can be replaced without pulling the head. Need a compressor and a fitting to screw into the cylinder. Rotate the motor around to TDC on the cylinder to be worked on. Hook up an air line to the cylinder and pressurize. Take a valve spring compressor like...

    Engine will not idle after a good run

    I don't see an issue with the choke closing with just a slight movement of the throttle, I do see an issue with it closing all the way. Need to adjust the plate for a 1/8 gap. So far as the voltmeter, you are probably fine, it takes a little time for the gauge to come up and normally needs...

    No spark

    Yes, you can bypass the switch. The fuse should be 20 amp. To keep a 30 amp installed something is going to melt and maybe catch fire. Need to find out what is drawing that much current.
