    Do you use non ethanol gas ?

    No, it's a decrease in supply. I haven't waited in any lines or seen anybody sold out, have you? And part of the shortage is absolutely due to Russia.

    Oil Pressure Switch for Fuel Pump - Strange Happenings

    Brackish water. And plenty of people sink them, just not many get them running again (y) (We're now working on the mangled stereo, AKA "fun stuff")

    4.3 TKS bogs and won't rev past 3600

    Check your compression as well, and make sure you're not dropping a cylinder. A 4.3 can run pretty smooth on 5 cylinders

    Oil Pressure Switch for Fuel Pump - Strange Happenings

    Of course, my relay went out and left me dead in the water. Switch is cheap enough and easy enough to swap that I probably would just go that route if I did it again. That said, I did just get this relay from Amazon, that looks waaay more waterproof than the last one. Cheaper than anything local...

    Crank, no spark. Need advice.

    Not sure what the "spark gap test" is. The next step where you rapidly ground the green/white wire bypasses the ignition sensor.

    Hard starting

    I've still had fine luck with Sierra parts 🤷 Every once in awhile they try to sneak in one of those green paper gaskets, but I'm running on my 4th season of Sierra bellows, and several seasons of the shift cable (which had a plastic coating as well). Also, just replaced an impeller that was on...

    Dealing with insurance,boat totaled?

    ^this. The insurance company will care much more about settling injury claims; even conservative bills, lost work, pain and suffering can easily exceed your boat's value. That's going to be your best leverage.

    Can we have a hint at what you're working on? That looks like your main engine harness plug.

    If mercury marine says e10 is ok, then it's probably ok.

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

    Usually a voltage divider type sender should be around 10k ohms. I've not measured one on a MerCruiser though. (Maybe something I should do)... Was going to suggest that... You also have another sender on the other side, no?

    Crank, no spark. Need advice.

    🤷 It was a pretty big arrow. All good. Did go through the chart already. No spark on coil lead. Not sure I am doing it correctly. Waiting on a spark gap tester. Been using an old plug An old plug will work fine.

    Maintenance intervals

    1. Just that it moves smoothly. I wouldn't replace it until I had a shifting problem or obvious water ingress. 2. Yes. Check alignment as well 3. Check your timing and set your idle mixture as well
