    5.7 GXI-H engine. Alternator problem ?

    Your pic in post 6, I'm seeing a connection down near the bottom with one small wire on it and covered in the plastic wrap. ALT on far right of pic is a terminal with I think a "P" on it

    Bogging issue

    Mercruiser 4.3 will not start

    5.0l MPI Single Alarm at 2000 RPMs and higher

    Something is just not right about the motors wiring Disconnecting the "in-gear" switch (previous thread) kills the motor which should not happen. BTW, the OP can reopen the previous thread
