    EST1 Open

    Your S/N (thanks) shows a 555 ECM The EST 1 (Electronic Spark Timing) means there is an issue with plug number 1 and its open. If it was ECT (Engine Coolant Temp) which is what you have been looking at. If it is EST then check your plug, plug wires, Dist Cap and Rotor

    Oil Change and Gear Oil Change issue . Can you help ?

    Nothing wrong with 30W oil, many cars and trucks use 30W. Use what the manufacture of the motor recommends. Some use 15W40 Diesel, others 20W40 Merc stuff White in the gear lube means there is a seal leaking. With lube drained pressure test the drive at 10psi rotating the shaft to see if it...

    MerCruiser model 496 MAG (H.O.) 425 HP loss of power

    For us to help we need more info and best method is with a scanner. Without a scanner do some checks like measure the fuel pressure at the rail and see if its correct. Turn key ON and see, then turn OFF to see if it holds.

    Side of floor supports

    Not a naval engineer but I think it might start to crack where the deck connects to the strakes. The pounding of the hull on the outside edge had the deck to keep it from flexing there, and the supports under it kept the rest of the hull from flex. Adding the extra layers will help, just not...

    Exhaust component inspection due to slight overheating

    If motor is actually running hotter I would look for air bubbles coming from the raw water pump to the thermostat housing. Use a shot piece of clear hose to see what's happening. Don't see the flappers causing the issue, and many have used high temp gasket sealer. Most times its not needed...

    MerCruiser model 496 MAG (H.O.) 425 HP loss of power

    Your serial number shows it can have digital or mechanical controls, even in 2008 If the issue is flooding then might be the injectors. Been many places stating they "rebuild" injectors which cannot be done. Not saying this is the issue but needs to be checked. Gen III module should be 39...

    Big issue in small town is no one knows what Kerdi board is, so its an hour drive to get more. Over time I have gotten pretty good at mudding, but to old to hold a sheet up. Have a drywall screw gun but have yet to get the hang of it. Mine is the first Gen and not the one using screw strips

    Oh yes I saw that prior, but went with "simple" base :censored: because we were thinking about selling the place. If we planned to keep all along I would have done the hidden drain and no curb somewhat like you did. Got a couple sheets of drywall (not enough for entire bath) and need to put on...

    Bad, Good and Bad news Bad - The 2 inch offset requires at least a 2 inch depth and more like 2.5 inch. So this would cut the top of the joist which I wasn't going to to. Good - Found out I misinterpreted the base directions so was able to move the drain center a 1/2 closer to the wall...
