    Mercruiser Alpha One - Trim sensor adjustment with no Trim Gauge

    From your description I’m thinking if your boat doesn’t have a trim gauge then you wouldn’t really have a need to have the gauge side sending unit adjusted correctly as there’s nothing to have set up properly against. But the trim up limit switch side ought to be adjusted correctly to help with...

    thunderbolt ignition blows fuse after start

    The fuse near the ignition key switch? should be a 20-amp fuse. Possibly something got hot and created an internal short...Key switch maybe too... First maybe try disconnecting the Red/Purple wire at the alternator, then the Purple at the alternator to see if the issue is within the...

    2006 5.7L Mag Overheating

    The black fitting on the red water hose is a quick disconnect coupler… it does need to be seated correctly as there is an O-ring in there and the pin needs to be holding it shut correctly which it looks like it may be… that mentioned the hose AD was mentioning is on the outside of the boat...

    2016 Mercruiser 6.2L ECT DTS Axius Cooling System Issue

    More so need to go by the manual vs a parts guide as parts catalog is usually found off in its routings and then since your manual was made in 2017 vs the linked 2015, it would be worth seeing if they are the same or not and if different then the later one (17) is the up to date one mostly...

    If you haven't seen it yet, i found your service manual and it shows the water flow and suggests the strainer (F) I mentioned earlier is for the fuel module... The link will start at the beginning that covers both standard and closed cooling but you got to scroll through them to see the...

    Hose picks to get it loosened up then spray either silicone spray or the like to get it sliding easier. Mercury powertune is a good go too to get them sliding as well. 858080K03

    Yes they both share the same part number and where used description. (Mercruiser 8M0138839 Inner Transom Plate Inner Bravo and Alpha superseded from 8M0114816 Plate Assembly Transom) Though probably not significant changes for what you're doing 'bear in mind that they do mention in the notes...

    2016 Mercruiser 6.2L ECT DTS Axius Cooling System Issue

    Looking over your parts catalog I located an engine oil cooler like Dubs mentioned in 2023 which is item number 37 below, (and may had gotten confused with the power steering cooler which is usually open flow on the inside), https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassemblydetail/49503533/28372678...

    Water temp gauge

    Did you physically touch the engine to feel if the engine came up to temp? Your best bet to test the actual temp is to get yourself an affordable Infrared Laser Thermometer gun and point it all around the engine to see what the temperature really is...You can find these temp gun readers just...

    Mercruiser 7.4 Suspected Vapor Lock (VL)

    No, pretty much the main reason Mercruiser routes the return line to the VST or fuel filter housing is convenience to keep the engine as independent from boat components. as much as possible to run on its own since a boat builder is separate from an engine manufacturer. One less component to...

    08 350Mag/B3 eng low voltage

    Was the no start condition present while the boat was at the boat service shop? Is your boat digital throttle and shift that uses a push button vs a key switch? If yes, then you probably have a clean power wire / harness that connects to the battery directly and has a fuse that might be...

    08 350Mag/B3 eng low voltage

    To start with the multimeter, check the orange wire off the back of the alternator, and also the two red wires off /at the 50 amp circuit breaker with both engine running and off to note the difference if the alternator is charging… also check all ground wires that everything is clean and...

    Water temp gauge

    Make sure the engine is actually getting up to full operational temperature of your thermostat temp range… if the thermostat is stuck open, the engine may not reach temp and won’t move the gauge up making you think something else is wrong.

    Mercruiser 5.7 MAG MPI Water Pressure Sensor & Oil Pressure Sensor Interchange/Alternatives + 4 in 1 gauge not showing speed and oil pressure

    Check with gauge saver as they tend to list the smart craft gauges...I believe there's another company or 2 out there that repair these gauges as well. Just have to do a deeper online search to find them if i recall seeing that correctly. Gauge save just comes to mind on the quick plus past...
