    '98 Stingray 190LX 4.3 Merc Stuck in Muck Issue

    You can bypass the switch by supplying 12v to the I terminal of the ignition switch. It is the switch is accessible you can jump the wires on either side together

    Chattering in out drive

    And tbh we don't get a lot of feedback from those that have just replaced the upper, so I'd love to hear a long term update

    '98 Stingray 190LX 4.3 Merc Stuck in Muck Issue

    The accelerator pump is activated by the throttle cable, not the shift cable. Please elaborate on what you're calling "run" position. That is different than "start" position.

    replace or rebuild merc carbs

    That's basically paying $300 for a carb rebuild. Which is fine, but if you're going to pay someone you'd probably be better off having someone local do it.

    Water in Bellows

    I've had it happen, but my boat was pretty much submerged (and I think my shift cable is experiencing delayed effects 😔)

    Chattering in out drive

    Thought is that the shavings from the upper contaminate the lower

    Chattering in out drive

    Great info, please post the details. Also, common wisdom is that your drive is going to grenade since you didn't rebuild the lower. Keep us updated...

    Engine Alignment tool goes in about 1/4 of the way, question.

    Nobody knew that because it's wrong. The tool absolutely has to go into the coupler. Full stop. That's literally the whole point.

    Interesting new on the water fail

    I wasn't trying to siphon. Wanted to make sure I had gas and it could make it out of the tank. My selection of hoses and siphons was... Limited. Definitely not my wisest decision of the day to begin with, and then lost a few neurons that I can't spare.

    Could also check vacuum if you're thinking cam lobe. Exhaust flappers can sound like that. Or exhaust leak.

    1984 Mercruiser 470 Ignition Switch

    Interesting. That orange wire is spliced with the red in the diagram, and then appears to dead end in the cannon plug. Doesn't look like it does anything.

    Interesting new on the water fail

    So while trying to adjust my shift cable on the water today, just idling around in a heavy current, engine stalls. Couldn't restart, not a hiccup. Jumped fuel pump, which ran but didn't sound "juicy". I'm solo, so couldn't check for fuel when throttle pumped. Checked fuel filter. Seemed less...
