i just got back from completing a compression test on my engine. the port side cylinders all had below normal compression. it ranged from, i think, 35-110 or so. the starboard cylinders were around 120ish. on my port spark plugs there was some corrosion. the engine was rebuilt two years ago...
hey guys, my engine is not starting. i have replaced the starter, cables and batter in order to get to the point where i am at right now. i have the engine turning over fairly well. i think it is fast enough to start. i pulled the plugs and it turned over very rapidly. i believe that...
I have been having some problems getting the boat to start and figured i would replace some battery cables to see if that helps. i figure i either need cables or a starter because it turns over really slow and it sounds as if it is underpowered but the battery is new. my question is, what...
just wondering if a voltage drop from the battery to the starter terminal can be caused by a bad starter? more specifically, i have a reading of 6 volts at the starter and thought it may be because the starter itself is partially seized or bad, is that possible? or would a bad starter still...
i just wanted some input from some more experienced guys on this problem before i dive in and buy a starter. the engine wasnt turning over much so i thought the starter was seizing up. i checked the remote solenoid and had 12+ volts going in and 3-6 volts leaving to the starter. i then took...

i have made some great strides in getting my 76 searay srv20 with a ford 351 v8 233hp running. when i got the boat it had no power at the key, i have gotten the electronics working. today i took a breaker bar and unjammed the engine so that it may start up. it was partially seized. i am now...
i cant get my "new" searay srv200 to start. i have a new battery and new ignition switch. i have been reading some of the posts and it sounds like my problem may be a bad fuse up near the ignition switch. no power gets to the switch at all. i was wondering if anyone knew if there was a fuse...
I had posted earlier about the 76 srv200 failing to start. nothing happens at all, no accessories go on, lights nothing. This looks similar to all of the symptoms indicative of a neutral safety switch malfunction. My question is...when the safety switch is not working does power still come to...
hey i have a question i hope someone can help me out. i just got a 76 searay srv200 this weekend and cant get it to start. i just replaced the ignition switch and battery. it seems like no power is reaching the switch because the wires have no reading. i am completly new to owning a boat and...
