The manual doesn't specify. So I wonder if it can work either way; depending on how your steering ram is installed. Manual pictures indicate it should slope upward when installed.
Yep. And a huge advantage that the GFS-10 has over my Lowrance sensor is that it not only measures fuel flow but it ALSO monitors fuel tank levels and dumps that info into NMEA 2k. Two birds. One stone.
Thanks and good point. I actually don't mind a lower refresh rate w. digital. Accuracy, yes. That would be more of a problem.
But really I like the thought of being able to manage everything through one multi-function display. Not only does it save on real estate, but then you also have the...
Hello All -
I have a carbureted '93 Mercruiser 7.4 engine and I'd like to use the NMEA 2k network to monitor things like RPM, oil pressure, voltage, and water temp. Basically make my analog gauges obsolete.
Apparently there are some devices out there that allow you to plug analog signals into...
If you have the Serial Number you can to to the official Mercury Marine website and launch the parts catalog: https://www.mercurymarine.com/en/us/parts-and-accessories/parts-catalog
Put the serial number in, then you'll get some results on the window to the right. Should be under DISTRIBUTOR...
This is what it *should* look like when these flappers haven't failed. This is looking down into one side of the exhaust y-pipe. This would be where the riser exhaust elbow would connect to the exhaust pipe.
These flappers are like "one way" valves and they prevent water from coming back into...
People keep mentioning the battery and "bad connections".
Regarding "bad connections", I've found that the main ground wire that's bolted to the flywheel housing in the back is oftentimes corroded. Remember, your ground is just as important as the positive. A quick trick is to take jumper...
Typically, "fogging" the engine is part of a winterization procedure. *If* it is smoke (but looks like steam in the video), it's probably just the fogging oil burning off.
My observation first started when I went to fire up the engine after a long dormancy. I went to "pump" the carb a few times to get a few squirts of gas into it. Noticed there weren't any squirts. Completely dry. I got a small atomizer spray bottle and sprayed gas that way, and got the engine...

I haven't run this boat for a couple years and now that I did, I noticed there isn't a jet of fuel when I manually apply quick throttle. But there isn't much of a hesitation, either. (Also there isn't a load; running it on muffs.)
Are accelerator...
Hmmm. That's a good idea. I can buy one of those fuel primer bulbs and apply pressure my own pressure. Do you happen to know the size of the fuel hose that fits on to the barbed nipple on water separator inlet?
By the way, I painted the whole engine this color so it *could* be the original fuel...
The water separator? Yes, was full. Didn't take note of the in-line fuel filter in the fuel hose coming from the fuel tank. I *should* have looked. :(
Note that this engine hasn't run in over a year.
Serial Number 0F009622
1) Can't get my engine started and decided to look for fuel pressure. I disconnected the fuel line from the pump and turned over the engine. No fuel comes out. Bad right? Can't be the anti-siphon valve preventing the pump from pumping?
2) Someone posted a few years ago...
