    Audio warning system on 2003 Mercruiser 5.0

    Unplug the lube bottle, oil pressure switch and temp switch then see which one is turning it on. The switches just turn ON the alarm You replaced the oil switch but maybe you actually have low oil pressure or something else. If the oil switch does turn the alarm OFF, then connect a mechanical...

    Riser elbow & intermediate elbow

    Very likely but those parts may need to be longer with using a riser. Most Mercs I've seen only use one size of boots, so something have to be added to attach to exhaust Y pipe

    5.0l EFI won't start after sitting hot for a while

    Welcome Sounds like vapor lock. After stopping the heat soaks into the fuel system and boils the fuel. The excess fuel gets pushed into the filter and leaves the vapor. When motor cools down the fuel returns MPI motors have a easier quick fix with having a schrader valve that can be pressed...

    8.1 GXI-J Cranks but No Start w/ Diacom Logs

    If it's going to take a bit of time before motor is getting work, I would have the oil changed with some cheap oil. This is just to get some more of the water out. Change and start for a minute then shut down With water in the oil the motor will need to be taken a part until the area is...

    Mercruiser 2011 3.0 TKS issue

    The oil is of no concern, it should be coming from a hose coming from the valve cover to flame arrestor. If dripping take top off and measure height. If height is correct then probably needs the needle valve and seat replaced The float weight might be an issue but in most cases no

    5.7 Indmar Crazy Fuel Pressure

    I'm going to need to research. A pump pumps X amount of pressure which is more the needed and the Reg lowers to required limits. Only reason for pressure to not be we're it should be is restriction, bad pump or Reg
