    Clamp Ring Seals

    What model/number stern drive and year is yours? Volvo Penta “AQ” series. My initial thought is you might need the transom service manual to help locate that torque number such as these for example, https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=7732703&_trksid=p2332490.m4084.l1313 This mentioned...

    Low Fuel Pressure 2005 Mercruiser 4.3L MPI

    Pull the fuel regulator vacuum line off while the engine is running and see if the psi goes up roughly 5 psi also make sure there’s no fuel in that vacuum line/coming out of the regulator. Plus may as well check for full battery voltage at the fuel pump wiring harness so you know for sure. If...

    Low Fuel Pressure 2005 Mercruiser 4.3L MPI

    What fuel regulator did you change, the one up on top of the engine at the fuel rail or the one down by the fuel pump? Hopefully the one down by the pump. If you fully were/are able to be sure to block off the return line heading to the filter base housing assembly, then the pump should be able...

    Being the serial starts with 2A, the year probably is in the suggested year range. I'm able to tell 2A586082 is a MIE 6.2L 320 TOW EC 4R RW MS 46IV 6.2L MP Model Number 3A620070V. To find Merc parts and part numbers for your engine model, you may have to input the serial number in the...

    Alpha Gen 2 Sterndrive Issue

    Possibly this could be portions of something out of the exhaust system. Do the pieces seem really hard or some flex to them?
