    High Fuel Pressure 2008 MerCruiser 350 Horizon MPI

    Had one similar (different manufacture) used on my generator. When 12V is applied it opens, when voltage is removed it closes. The good is if working properly no fuel will leak or drain in to anything once power is removed. The bad is you have 3.8 fuel line feeding them, the fittings used...

    HELP! 8.1 Gi-G Persistent Overheating Problem

    It's not that the belt is threaded right, the water pump on a V-belt motor rotates counter clockwise which is the same as the crankshaft. On a serpentine motor, the belt wraps around the pump in the opposite direction causing it to rotate clockwise. There is no issue with this but you cannot...

    Soft Audio Alarm

    Here is the list of faults which can show up. The one most common is the seawater PSI low, and if this happens then is a 10% reduction in power. You have twin engines so I don't know if you noticed a reduction in power. Is there any other things you noticed about the operation?

    Kill switch installation didnt work

The kill switch you want may have a Normally Open (NO) side and a Normally Closed (NC) side. You need to put the switch tied into the wire going to your magneto and...

    Alpha 1 trim issue!! Possible switch or.....

    It might be the switch but most the time its the trim limit switch on the gimbal ring (port side). If the limit switch is not making contact your switch will have no effect. The Trailer button bypasses the limit switch. Go to your stern and check for continuity. The two wires are both black...
