    Is My Bell Housing Cracked?

    If your talking about the green line I have marked, then maybe, but that would be the transom assembly. I would clean it up real goo, and if that didn't verify the issue then remove the boots

    50 amp fuse tripping at start-up

    People do some really weird stuff, so if you have owned the boat since new then no problem. But if you just got to boat then a prior owner may have changed something, that's all. It could also very well be your starter solenoid is shorted. If there is a short then something else will be getting...

    Mercruiser 350 MAG MPI Hesitation...Serial # 0L009670

    Checks are pretty much the same just slightly different. Your engine relies highly on the ECM setting codes for the OBD scanner to read. Without one of those troubleshooting gets harder.

    Mercruiser 350 MAG MPI Hesitation...Serial # 0L009670

    :welcome: to iboats Its starting sound like you need a fuel pump and if so your current fuel pump is 861156A1 and if it needs replacing the new number is 807949A1 Your motor does not appear to be the Black Scorpion just the 5.7 Mag inboard. The fuel pressure should be between 28 to 32psi...

    Annoying beeping help! (mercruiser mag mpi 5.7)

    As others have mentioned you never run a motor that high on muffs. The manual states you should not exceed 1500rpm, over 4000 is way to much. You exceed the rpm so much you should replace the impeller again because it more then likely has been damaged. If this was your boat then I would look...

    Newbie 12 24 switch on boat wiring issue

    :welcome: to iboats You sure have an issue going on and I'm trying to follow but guess I'm going to need some pics. Here is how you upload pics if there on your computer or a link to another source. Since you do have a 12V trolling motor I don't see the need for a 12/24 switch unless you...

    Bravo III 4 blade vs 3 blade

    The current advertising from Merc is the 4 blade props provide better hole shot and mid range speed. Merc doesn't mention to much about top end, while other forums indicate that top end does suffer. Most of my actual test I have done with any prop with more blades provides more lift but also...

    Mercruiser Water Pump

    It probably is the bearings, in my signature there is a link about maintaining the pump. The lube needs to be checked every couple years and replaced when you start seeing gas. I kept looking but found only used pumps in the cheaper range. I used the same pump on both my boats. What you...

    The Y-pipe has flappers in them also, You will need captains call/quick n quite selectors. Pic below shows Corsa with aluminum manifolds and stainless elbows. Corsa uses electrical solenoids to close/open shutters. Now if your OK with load up on plane but would like quite when your going...
