Hi guys,
I have twin mercruiser 350 Mag horizon (ow360139) engines with 1 bad Map sensor. The mercruiser part (885165 or updated part 8M0087834) seems to go for about $350. A mechanic at my yard says they sell the automotive version for like $30. I found the auto version of the sensor which...
Hey guys,
I have 2006 twin 350 Mag Horizon closed cooled (OW360139). I recently had a no start issue that I believe I may have solved by replacement of the fuel water separator. The engine would not start 5 minutes after it was already running but has started both times since.
My question is...
Hi Guys,
I have 2006 twin 350 Mag Horizon closed cooled (OW360139). Before dropping boat in water I changed the exhaust elbows. Boat ran fine on fresh water flush on land. I then dropped it in the water and ran fine again. The next day I start it up in my slip and ran fine for 2 minutes before...
Hi Guys,
Should be a quick question. I have a 350 mag horizon closed cooled (0W360139) engine that I am replacing my exhaust elbows on. The Dry Joint Exhaust elbow manual from mercruiser says I need to make sure the screws to my Exhaust elbow (864591T02) requires specialized flat washers and to...
Without getting into the back story, my boat (twin 350 mags) has 100 gallons of 2 yr old fuel. It ran at a bit above idle speed fine yesterday for about 2 hrs. Today I go to start it up and both engines have a surging idle and sound like they are about to die at any moment. I checked the Gen 3...
I had my bravo 3 drive split and the top taken apart 2 weeks ago trying to find a shifting problem and to clean out the lower unit. The boat has yet to touch water yet 1 week after i had oil coming out from where the props meet the lower unit. I was told by the mechanic that this was probably...
Hi Guys,
So one week ago; I had a mechanic service both of my Bravo 3 outdrives. He split the drives to clean everything out and even popped the top off to check on the gears and a shifting issue. I wasn't able to put the boat in the water because I discovered a torn shift cable boot after the...
So I am faced with a tough decision. I have about 2-3 inches of play in my portside outdrive that I have narrowed down to wear in the pivot bolt going through the square gimbal ring opening. I have checked for excess play od the steering arm and tightened the 2 bolts on the outside of the...
Re: 350 Mag -Wont't start - No buzzer or guages working but has power to keyswitch
The saga continues!!!
Ok, So I got all excited hearing about that hidden fuse and looked for it but it doesn't look like I have it. I searched all over and pulled open every wire connection I could find on the...
Re: 350 Mag -Wont't start - No buzzer or guages working but has power to keyswitch
Yes, I had the long lead hooked up to the positive terminal on the battery. Concernin the 1 1/2 v drop in the ground, what would allow the other engine to start? Also why does the voltage go up to 12.66v when I...
Hey guys,
So I have a starting isue I can't figure out on 2001 formula. I have 6 yr old twin 350 Mag Horizons that have always started up fine, no issues. I winterized them in the fall with no issues. It is now spring and my starboard side engine starts up fine but the port engine doesn't even...
So a friend was helping me replace the water pump on one of the 350 mag engines on my boat this evening when the wind picked up dramatically and a few waves washed up and into the engine bay and on top of the engines. The engines were off and started up fine after everything was put back...
Hey guys,
Thanks for any help in advance. I have a new to me 2000 formula 280ss w/ fairly new (2006) 350mag horizons (OW359452) about 250 hrs. I just bought this boat and ran it fine for about 2 hrs and then got alarm horns. Was cruising around for about 45 min then idleing around for about 2...
