    Engine wont shut off with key

    I'm now confused on where you're at/what the problem is currently.

    Crank, no spark. Need advice.

    I really don't feel like drawing another big arrow on the next step ...

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

    So you get a faulty reading. Pcm sends out a separate 5v reference for each sensor (unless Merc is doing something "special"). Not seeing why that would impact the voltage in the rest of the system, or why the PCM thinks it's being supplied with a low battery/charging voltage.

    Merc 25 2 stroke/2 cyl remote shift difficulty

    Removed the starter and found the other end of the shift shaft. Not much there to go wrong. Confirmed that there's no resistance at that point. Disconnecting the linkage and it shifts easily when I put a wrench on the shaft. Noticed that both my throttle cable and shift cable when disconnected...

    They clip vinyl as well. Grooves can't handle full spectrum.

    Looking for 1990 Wilker 17' Catalina Back to Back Seat

    You won't find an exact fit. Best bet is to replace both of them with something that comes close to matching the rest of your interior

    No reverse no matter how i adjust the shift cables

    Pretty sure that's the issue on mine... Like the coil, everything can break. But there's a spec for checking the slop in the intermediate shift shaft, so easy to rule out a drive problem.

    Mercruiser 170 Rough Idle on Start and High Oil Pressure

    Ok ... No such thing as cleaning the carb from the outside. 99/100x your problem is fuel delivery. Have you checked/cleaned filters? How old is the gas? Do you have a fuel/water separating canister filter (highly recommend to add one if not). The stains in the water and rough idle sound like...

    Crank, no spark. Need advice.

    Follow the chart, let us know where it breaks down. It's not a complicated system, an ignition module failure is really the only thing that *might* make it worthwhile to change systems. Relatively rare, easily found on eBay.

    A1G2 decisions. Rebuild or replace?

    Yeah, was it you that posted that solution a while ago? I loved it.

    A1G2 decisions. Rebuild or replace?

    No, you're hitting the round bearing driver part, which is free floating rather than being pinned/drilled to the bar.

    Engine wont shut off with key

    Does it do that with the green/tan wire disconnected? Edit: ok, 1. Disconnect green wire at solenoid. Does engine start/run? If so, your problem is not with the solenoid. 2. Disconnect resistance wire at the coil, reconnect green wire. Engine should want to start but die when you let go of the...

    Anyone know where to find this piece?

    Actually, this might be an idea. Maybe a little metal repair epoxy would do the trick

    Anyone know where to find this piece?

    That's what I've been calling it. I don't think it needs to be exact, just close enough. Given how common that piece was, I'm surprised that no one makes a generic.

    Multimeter tach reads RPMs too high

    Like, in the neighborhood of what the dvm is reading? FWIW, I can't get a good rpm measurement using my dvm set to hz. Too sensitive I think; the hz on mine is very erratic, so it isn't getting a clean signal. Don't know if your reading is stable or not.

    A1G2 decisions. Rebuild or replace?

    There was a great post a couple of months ago where someone put the alignment tool in with the driver piece floating, and used 2" or something pipe on the outside of the tool. Pipe contacted driver, and user hit the pipe with a hammer to drive the bearing. Great solution, wish I could find the...

    🤷‍♂️ What does your boat tach read?
