    Anode Bolts Mercruiser Alpha One Gen One 3.0

    Do you or the better half do Ebay stuff? Try running the original merc part number 55989A8 through Ebay as it seems you "can" find some of them at a lower cost vs checking the new number 97-8M0030655. The ones for $42.50 say afatermarket but i wouldn't trust the material used as that could...

    cannot find model year for 228R using serial number

    0M071173 comes up as an MERCRUISER 5.7L ALPHA ENGINE ONLY model number 4311225N1. https://www.crowleymarine.com/mercruiser/oem-parts/stern-drive/1998/4311225n1?mdl=IQCK0R&q=0M071173 That serial number should make the engine right around the 2002-03 ish era… Maybe @Yegboats can confirm the year.

    Bravo III Wiring

    Is the stern drive in the full up or full down position right now? or in the middle somewhere? If the trailer up button seems to work then the pump itself should be working fine, but maybe it's the trim up limit switch is set at a position that it won't allow the drive to trim up a bit more as...

    1999 VP 5.7 GSi - No Spark

    What battery type, battery year, etc. are you running with? Sort of unusual to see a 13.5 volts at rest (engine off) as more typical to see it in the 12.2 - 12.8ish range...< But not impossible too. This engine design would use a pickup coil located under the distributor cap rotor as that is...

    Water leaking from engine - 5.7 GXI-E

    It appears you may want to inspect the engine block and components real close for any possible cracks due to possible freezing if a drain plug wasn’t left out… but first, by chance, did the engine get drained last year?
