    mercruiser alarm

    Don't see a real tight belt causing an alarm on anything. Over time it will burn out a bearing, but not cause a water pressure alarm. See it as coincidence. As Q mentioned the water pressure sensor has the highest failure rate If your new motors are closed cooled then may have air in the...

    1991 Mercruiser 4.3 …Have power but will not crank.

    If you jumped from the small terminal on the inside closest to the block and the starter post then either the starter has an issue or the motor is locked up Find your slave relay on top the motor. Jump across the top larger terminals and see if it will crank

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Don't have a Pic but looks just like the one I removed from the formula, just 2 bank and not 3 Call mercury and tech said the isolator will not be an issue with the motors. Might replace with ACR anyway, less chance of over charging. It came with lead acid Bats so they will be leaving in...

    Ford 302 (888) wiring confusion

    Correct The white supplies full 12V when key is ON White supplies 12V to choke so it heats it up and slowly opens it as motor starts and warms up It goes to "original" coil to supply full 12V for starting purpose and once started, "using old points" it changes to 6V thru the ballast resistor...

    Ford 302 (888) wiring confusion

    Agree with Bondo, this makes my head hurt First your using a Pertonix ignition, so do "NOT" look at the original wiring, you have to look at what "Pertonix" want's for wiring. Not able to use old and new wiring. Only wire to use with full 12V is white

    What is this hose coming off of fuel pump

    I'm unable to tell if that is the wrong kind of hose but it goes to the flame arrestor. If (note the if) the pump diaphragm inside the pump starts leaking, there will be fuel in the hose going to the arrestor. This keeps the fuel from going into the bilge Should be tygon tubing
