    Mercruiser 4.3 Temp Alarm Question

    Yes TKS No mention of the motor stumbling when alarm is heard so it should not have anything to do with TBV module (knock, over speed, over Temp) Think this is either the lube bottle float sticking or a chafe on the Tan/Blue wire. The TKS takes the over Temp switch and sends it through the TBV

    Alpha One Gen II shift shaft seals

    I agree with your assumption, the lip should be toward the water so it will have a better chance of sealing Similar issue with seals and the B3 prop shaft. Early (manual 11) has 2 seals and states to place seals in facing each other. First (inner) lip faces out and Second (outer) faces in...

    Can I switch out Mercury 9.9 kill switch?

    The man overboard switch is best if your going to we're the lanyard. If you just want to get a push button switch to kill the motor then find a normally open (NO) switch Being a 2 stroke the switch opens when pressed removing the ground. Could find one at local auto parts or online
