Hey all, I purchased this gear Oil (pic below) for my Merc A1-G1 Sterndrive. I didn't realize it, but it wasn't the blue colored gear oil like I had in it previously , I put it in anyhow. Is this ok? Is the blue gear oil better?
Thanks, It was wired incorrectly. The electric fuel pump wasn't getting any power, I ran the power lead to a ground instead of a positive lead. I just made the correction.
I found the issue. When I winterized the boat I took off the positive electric fuel pump wire to run the carb dry while it was running.. When I hooked it up today, The power wire to the electric fuel pump was wired incorrectly. I'm sorry for any useless thread.
Does anyone know if the whole inline fuel filter has to be full with gas when running, and or does it have to be primed. That may be the issue too. I only see 1/4" of fuel in the filter while it's running.
I just started up the boat today after installing a new water impeller, she runs for a minute and then stalls. Seems like a fuel issue, no doubt. I didn't replace any of the filters yet since last year, Im gonna replace all the filters shortly and see if that is the issue. I still have to do...

I just went side to side with it and noticed play, about a 10th of an inch or less. I'll try that today, as I'm waiting for the impeller kit to come. I just wanted to know if it was normal to have play.
Today I had the same problem you had, steam coming out from the center of the prop with the ear muffs on, I shut her down after a few minutes, the temp climbed to 175. I then took the lower end off and found my impeller was wiped out (pic below), and also oddly the water tube was laying in the...
I did my water pump today and noticed that the shaft (shown in photo) had some play when I removed the impeller housing and the bottom lower seal assembly under the water impeller housing, is this normal? Could the shaft bearings be shot because of that play?
