    Mercruiser ECM replacement?

    Replaced the wires and plugs and it runs better, great As mentioned in post 21, Ebay injectors in most cases are junk. Ebay sells old junk injectors as new/rebuilt. Your still flooding and you need new injectors

    Mercruiser 6.2l 300 (2018 model) Gimbal bearing grease how to?

    Vibration throttling up is either the prop or the drive in most cases. If prop is in good condition, look at the gimbal bearing and the U joints

    A1G1 Top gears

    Have not heard of Cryo stuff on gears, but normally the gears would last more then one life time if maintenance is done. A Alpha drive should not have massive power behind it. Look forward to the comments of better gears but maybe just a new SEI upper will outlast most of us

    Trim pump

    Did ya by chance look inside the tank before installing? Look for some note left inside side saying something stupid like add oil before using. :unsure: Just another thought if it might get caught against the intake to cause the cavitation

    Mercruiser 5.0 50 degrees at idle

    The valve cover look gets close. Valves close and the mark on damper will be about 180* away. I say about because there is cam lobe variations. With all spark plugs out rotate crank by hand and have a wire or something in number 1 cylinder. Slowly crank it up till the wire is not pushed out...
