    Mercruiser 3.0 No Spark issues

    The speed is a thin tube (not a wire), and if it can leak water in if the tube has a crack There is a steering pin seal which keeps water out. Leaking from there means the seal needs replaced, and in most cases so does the steering pin

    Chaparral Tach Reading Too High

    My guess is the Tach is bad. Many Tach's do have a selector on the back for number of cylinders, but figuring it was never touched, its probably bad No way to adjust the hour meter other then connnect to 12V supply and wait

    Trim Clicks and Makes noise, but won't go up or down

    No Doing this all the fluid from the cylinders gets spilled into the water. A hydraulic (trim) cylinder has oil on both sides. Lifting or lower anything will cause fluid to come out the other side

    Trim Clicks and Makes noise, but won't go up or down

    Don't know about a "good" way. Get container, ratchet straps and rags. When boat is close by, disconnect lines from trim pump and put them in the container. Place ratchet straps on drive and lift drive out from rear cleats or other that is available

    Mercruiser 3.0 No Spark issues

    Maybe, the issue is when its in the water and motor stopped, the pressure is increased inside the exhaust. Running on muffs has very little pressure. To make it a bit safe, remove the exhaust boot and stick the hose down the exhaust pipe letting water run out with motor off

    Mercruiser 3.0 No Spark issues

    Tightening the bolts would not require rechecking alignment Tightening the bolts may cause them to snap off IF they are corroded and have eroded internally. IMO, once something is old and starts leaking, tightening fasteners will have no effect If the water is coming from the exhaust O-ring...

    No where in the manual nor the many times I talked to Bennett Tech support (MJ Thomas) did they ever say the Orange is on switchable power. The main unit stays ON but draws very little power. Many turn Bat switches OFF when they depart
