    Can you add a wake board tower?

    I've got an aftermarket one that is strictly used for holding the cover up and a speaker mount. Soon to have a light bar as well. It has a couple of large bolts for the main section through the hull (I think there's just a wood backer), and another smaller one for the forward strut. See my...

    It can be done...:Pulled my mom's third ex-husband's girlfriend (I'll give you a minute...) last summer at 75, deep water start on my double high-wrap. I was pretty damn impressed.

    Alpha one gen one installing lower out drive

    Do yourself a favor and remove the upper as well. In addition to allowing you to inspect your gimbal bearing, bellows, and u-joints, removing the whole drive is just easier. Splitting the drive while it's on the boat is *NOT* a Time saver

    Wiped cam lobe mechanical fuel pump

    It would be strange if the terminals weren't marked... Guessing it should test like this: 1. Find the 2 terminals with continuity. Those are your FP output and your cranking power. 2. The other is to switched power. It won't have continuity to either of the other 2 3. Pressurize switch...

    Take your gas cap off if it does it again, see if you get a whoosh of air.

    What's this? Off my 1980 20' wellcraft with mercruiser 4.3 engine

    That's a possibility, I think the pumps were mechanical until at least the balance shaft engines. I guess trace the wires, or see what your oil pressure switch looks like. Factory switch was 2 terminal, if relay is used it's likely 3 terminal.

    Mercruiser 233 Starter

    I went most of last year with a balky cable. This year it feels like a real luxury to get into and out of gear (all of them!) without having to finesse the shifter.

    Help! Overheating 3.0, not impeller or circulation pump

    Older ones don't (listed in the manual as an option). My '86 didn't, the '89 parts boat I got didn't either.

    Not stock, where do the wires connect? Does it have an electric fuel pump?

    Thunderbolt IV

    Could also be the wire to the tach. You can connect it at the coil and disconnect at the tach. If it runs ok your tach is the problem

    Might not be. What year? The '89 I pulled my accessories from didn't have one.

    2009 Mercruiser 4.3l engine wiring diagram

    And you're jumping to the I terminal of the switch (purple wire)? So you should have power to the red/purple on the ignition switch. If so it's either ignition switch or the purple wire (if you have no power to purple with ignition switched on). you need to trace it back to the coil (TB ignition...
