    Control box help

    Why not get one for the mercruiser setup, instead of O/B? Not 100% sure what is different, other than maybe the wiring harness. Priced about the same. Lots of choices out there, but I would beware of the Asian super cheap stuff, as parts may not available.

    Hose leak at trim pump oil reservoir

    My bad... I was on a trim tab pump thought process. You are correct in that the mercruiser trim pump has a solid body that has the fittings machined into it. Wondering if he is sure it is at the fittings and not some other part of the pump seeping oil and looking like it is the hose(s), like...

    Hydraulic lifters 7.4 1992 Mercruisers

    Another point, the lifters and cam break in / seat in together. Should never mix them up after break in or failure is usually imminent.

    Not uncommon. A kit is available to re-seal the pump hose connections.

    Hydraulic lifters 7.4 1992 Mercruisers

    If lifter face is worn and the cam lobe is worn, then the cam is junk. Put in a "new" lifter and it will fail again, soon after.

    is this a cooler design or a livewell?

    If there is only a drain, and nor pump for circulation, it is a cooler.

    Mercruiser 6.2 - 90amp fuse

    It is working now. If you install the fuse (and it doesn't blow) and then it doesn't work, it is probably a connection / wire itself problem. Check the fuse he removed and see if it is blown. No way a good fuse stops current flow, unless the connection is chit.

    Should I replace my surge brakes with electric on my boat trailer?

    Just finished brake system conversion on my trailer. I have the Kodiak disc's on all 4 wheels and now an electric over hydraulic actuator (the conversion part). This combined with a P3 controller in the truck. Best of all the worlds in 1 package, with unlimited control, superb stopping power and...

    Why does my tandem axle trailer not have a backup solenoid?

    Also keep in mind, the MC's that have the lockout are normally for disc. The MC internals for disc vs drum are quite different and should not be interchanged. I am big fan of the superior stopping power of the disc brakes on all axles. They do need to be hydraulic actuated. But also a fan of...

    trouble getting reverse.

    Just realized you have an Alpha drive. DO NOT run engine when boat is out of water and the drive attached, using this flush adapter. If drive is attached, you MUST have water running thru the drive (in water or on muffs) when engine is running or you will burn up the raw water pump that is in...
