I did both my main and kicker at the same time, and was thinking that I was substantially into my second quart when I got it to come out the check hole. Possibly I just had it over full. Checked it again this morning after it sat vertical overnight and did get a trickle. I'll run it again and...
I have a new to me F300 with around 575 hours on it. I had ran it once or twice immediately after buying it and it all seemed good. When doing some annual maintenance, it seemed like the lower unit oil level was low, although I didn't measure what came out, it did not look at all like the...
Update on this still ongoing issue. Pulled the ECM out and sent it to rebuilder. No problem found but also no surprise because it was running perfectly when I pulled it. Cleared multiple codes, all likely set when I was testing, unplugging things etc when the no start issue occurred. After...
Thank you! Specifically what I am looking for specifically is what F3 fuse (15amp) ignition feeds. It seems that it powers the ECM as well as the ignition circuits but that’s a guess. It will intermittently blow when key is turned on or even while running. All of the diagrams I have found show...
Cranks no start. Intermittently blows 15 amp ignition fuse. Occasionally will try and start but almost always has no spark. Replaced, ignition module, coil, and crank sensor, no change. Crank sensor does read on tach when cranking. No codes. A wiring diagram might help. Suspect ECM failure.
Starting last season I have had an anomaly that I haven’t been able pinpoint. It didn’t occur for most of many trips this summer but happened multiple times yesterday. Either upon start up or sometimes when putting into reverse and making a quick stop the normally great running port fuel...
After doing a partial engine overhaul my tach worked for a few minutes and then quit. Ive checked the power and ground supply to the tach, no problems there. The signal wire is intact and has good continuity to the connection at the coil. I have tried a different coil just because I happen to...
After reinstalling my motor for an upper end rebuild etc it started right up and all appeared normal. I connected my code tool and set the base timing and locked down the distributor. I removed the code tool and started it back up. I noticed at that point that the tach which was definetely...
I have one bad head on my 5.7L GLi. I am trying to locate a suitable core. Is there a cross reference guide of some sort that would help me to determine which casting numbers or part numbers would work ?

Well, what I thought was a case of burned exhaust valves is excalating as I've found to be a common senario with anything involving boat repair. Exhaust manifold gasket surface between riser and manifolds failed,(as Don so appropriatly pointed out, thanks Don). The trickle of cold salt water...
I had been noticing a bit of a rough idle for awhile but didnt worry too much about it as it was slight. After this weekend the rough idle turned into a pretty good lope. I did some testing on it and discovered that I have burnt exhaust valves on #4 and #6 cylinders. The exhaust manifolds and...
I have recently replaced my old chartplotter with a new Raymarine A57d. On my first outing everything worked perfectly and I was amazed at how well the unit worked. A few months later I was able to head out for my second trip since I had replaced the chartplotter. I was picking up a very strong...
After being advised to replace or repair the small dings and chips in my old prop I have decided to have that one fixed and use it as a spare. I have been out boating regularly for about 6 years now and have not had the need for a spare yet, but now that I am thinking about it not having one...
