    2016 Mercruiser 6.2 ECT - long beep every few minutes???

    Seems like you have an expensive project boat there :) I would simplify the wiring until you get it straight. Disconnect solar, physically isolate your house batteries, remove as many switches as possible, etc

    The engine stalled and no start while on the water

    Start with spark, move on to fuel... Which are you missing when it won't start? And assuming you mean it won't run, not won't crank

    Starter engaging with one bolt installed, spins but does not engage when both bolts are installed

    The PMGR starter doesn't use the brace on the vee engines, not sure about the 3.0

    4.3 motor swap with truck engine

    Yeah, sorry, we've already put too much effort into this thread. Gonna have to insist that you swap something at this point

    What type of coolant to use?

    ? I haven't heard of RV coolant being used in a closed cooling system. That stuff is for winterizing, not heat exchange AFAIK.

    2016 Mercruiser 6.2 ECT - long beep every few minutes???

    The math doesn't work if the gas consumed to get to the beer > cost of beer consumed.

    Merc 25 2 stroke/2 cyl remote shift difficulty

    I've had this thing for 7ish years? It doesn't get the attention of the other boat, and rarely needs it. Last season noticed that shifting into/out of gears was becoming difficult. This season (after it got hammered in a storm at the end of last season) it's much harder, particularly getting...

    Knock Sensor Faulty?

    Open your gas cap when the symptoms happen, this could be a clogged vent

    Knock Sensor Faulty?

    There are plenty of other reasons for an intermittent problem to show up. This is easy to test, just hook up a timing light.

    4.3 motor swap with truck engine

    The larger M10 bolts won't fit through the holes on the old starter. You could drill out the holes, but seriously, just go with the new starter. If you ever need to replace, the PMGR is much easier to handle.

    4.3 motor swap with truck engine

    Like I said, your starter won't work without modification. Definitely not worth it when you can get a PMGR starter for less than $100. The core plugs might already be brass on the donor--check before replacing.

    Kinda Clueless in South Jersey

    Kinda Clueless in South Jersey

    Short block: Bottom of the engine Long block: Both halves Neither include accessories (starter, water pump, alternator, etc). Those would be swapped over from your current engine. You can buy everything with the accessories included, which would go by various names (drop-in, bobtail, complete)...

    Kinda Clueless in South Jersey

    Long block= SHORT block (Pistons, crankshaft) + heads (valve train) Small block engine= 5.7 L displacement or below (in a Chevy). Big block = bigger than that. More or less.

    Mercruiser 383 no spark/no fuel

    This sounds like a problem that would be much easier to figure out with the rinda software... But a scope or dvm on hz or vac can tell you if you're getting a signal from the cpm.

    In dash GPS speedo?

    That holds true regardless unless there's no wind where you live
