    Timing is set at 8 BTDC as you listed. Timing advance should be 14 degrees for a total advance of 22 degrees. If you are getting 14 additional degrees timing, the next thing I would check is the engines compression

    Mercruiser Alpha one trim problem

    The tilt/trim buttons are on the left side which you use your thumb to raise and lower. When using these buttons the up button is limited by the trim limit switch that is mounted on the port side of the gimbal ring of the outdrive. If the drive is all the way down, the up button should bring...

    merc 165 inline 6 oil pressure switch

    The method most often used is I=NO. S=NC Solenoid and P=Common But many install a relay to energize a new relay supplying power to the pump after start. This is a factory install, but doing it the way below you would only use the NO and Common connections. You would need to run a wire from...

    Getting my 1985 260 V8 past 4,000 rpm HELP

    Waterman has your answer, your boat is going as fast as it can with the prop you have. With your current setup you only have slightly more then 6% prop slip (sure wish I only had that little). Just need to go down to about 17 pitch, 15 might put you in the 4800 range

    Mercruiser Wiring Pigtail Question

    Tried several times to clean my plug but still had issues. Main reason is no one ever used silicone grease on the plug before putting it together so it corroded, I finally gave up and replaced them both. The Ye/Red goes to your slave solenoid and comes out on pin 7 Here is the pin out Color...

    7.4L weber carb Jets

    My opinion: Have the same carb on my Rinker and appears I have .104P .098S and the engine has 500 and some hours and Bravo 1. Mine is a 300hp peanut head 7.4L and the plugs looked great. The jets change as the hp and load changes (B3). The .107 might be high if you have same engine, or could...

    2008 3.0 Alpha 1 - suddenly has no power, won't go above 3000rpm

    I would bet your timing is off. Marking the distributer and rotor just gets you in the ball park, you need to set it with a timing light. Your off enough to cause the problems. Also make sure to put it in base timing mode when setting the timing. Timing is set based on your serial number Serial...

    Mercruiser 7.4 MPI Alarm Sounding, but everything seems fine???

    Was a bit in error when first looked. The only engines with two knock sensors and attached to one wire is those with a MEFI-2 ECM. You have a MEFI-3 so you should have the setup listed below. Use an ohm meter and ring out the connections. Since you replaced the one, you could swap it with...

    Boat nearly caught fire... assuming some kind of short

    Wiring go very hot so need to trace the wires and replace as needed. I'm thinking the starter relay and/or wiring is damaged. When key is turned power is applied to relay (No 4) and pulls in the starter. Do some tracing and you should find the issue.

    Mercruiser 260 - No forward or reverse

    As mentioned the one with the plastic lines coming out is the trim pump. This is part of the reverse lock valve. When put in reverse it keeps fluid from going to the trim cylinders which hold the drive from going up. In forward this doesn't happen incase the drive hits something The brass...
