    Shift interrupt switch

    Possibly to help catch us up on the history of the engine model year vs what switch needed, where did the two serail numbers come about from roughly early 80's to 2005?

    496 overheating

    The alarm could sound for a high number of things going wrong and about the only way to pinpoint what it may be is to have the engine scanned with a marine style scan tool of a few references of types available. Your alarm is sounding a hard alarm at about 4200 RPM which is considered a...

    DLC Location 2007 Sea Ray Sundeck w 350 mag mpi

    Yes, you'd need to disconnect it to plug in a scan tool that fits that design connector. Seems you may have smart craft ran depth gauge connected and being used? Sometimes it's roughly a 70/30 chance of actually being installed by say a manufacturer, dealer, etc. and used. What scan tool...

    Hum, I think I just saw this or your same question on Mercruiser Facebook page.🤔🤫 😀 Often you may find a white tag wrapped around the DLC wire harness that reads “depth transducer” as they are the same connector when utilized… to help with this visual, see bottom of page 3 of /5 of the following...

    Engine Stringer Spacing (width) Specifications ???

    Though possibly older engine models, I found what I was thinking about when I saw your topic... I'd say they should be pretty much near the same sizes give or take an inch or two probably on how far the other engine mounted items stick out..., Exhaust, etc.. You'd be looking over the...

    Mercury 40 ML 4SEF SN 1C056105

    Do you happen to know if the engine was ran/warm when tested or cold from sitting? as that may play a part in the reading numbers...Also open the throttle all the way open to test tends to help bit. To locate the weaker compression test, you'd want to perform a cylinder leak down test next to...
