    will not engage forward with engine running on baffles

    Don't see the need to drop the lower again. Appears the shift foot is in place. Can look at it and see if its in place. With it clicking means it almost is engaging. Try readjusting cable and if that doesn't fix then it needs the lower cable. Most likely would be best to replace anyway

    Mercury 3.0 EST no spark

    MM is a good company but Sierra is hit and miss IMO. That said if you get a bad one others have said they will replace I would look at the local GM dealer

    will not engage forward with engine running on baffles

    Unable to say without actually touching but most likely it needs adjusting. If cable is old it may need replaced. Does it go into reverse running?

    will not engage forward with engine running on baffles

    Ok then it didn't matter if you were in forward or not. When reinstalling the shift foot needed to be in same position as when removed. If it was in forward then foot needed to be turned ccw to lock position when reinstall

    omc stringer 400 ignition switch fuse getting hot. (battery Pole)

    Hard to say that one color wire would go to a different location. The wiring looks like its not factory so unknown if it was done correctly or not. If it works right then it was probably done correctly for the most part Heat from wiring most always comes from a bad connection. A bad...

    will not engage forward with engine running on baffles

    No Yes Most likely your problem is things where not aligned correctly or shift foot got bent. Did you pull the drive and then separate the lower to replace the impeller? If you did pull the drive did you move the throttle to full forward before pulling?

    1990 4.3 no spark, Please help

    Your serial number comes up 1989 which is not unusual With the safety switch having 2 purple wires on it means the switch is bypassed and will not work. The wires should be on pins which will disconnect power to coil when pulled. Jumping it to get power to the coil is not an issue 12V on...

    A second set of the same New Gauges don't work???

    Do not know if your motor came with the senders or not. The Mech should know how to connect and "IF" they are on the motor Don't know what a code C or D is. Have a link I can read what it is? Most Marine senders come in either North American or European versions
