    How do i test my engine alarm

    Depends on the motor Most all have 12V powering one side of the alarm, and switches (oil pressure, temp, lube bottle, exhaust, other) provide grounds to active it

    Motor Knock

    A random noise (knock) would be hard for anyone not listening on the boat to be able to advise. Could be anything, something loose in the bilge to something on the motor. Could be the hull How was the stringer fixed? Look where it was repaired to see if something is starting to show With...

    Overheating

    Not familiar with the design, but I would look on the raw water side first. Has the impeller been changed? What does the pump housing look like? Place a piece of clear hose between the drive and heat exchanger to see if your sucking air

    Mercruiser 4,3 MPI from 2008, intermittent alarm after 3500 rpm??

    The gear switch IMO is useless and causes more problems then it would solve. Its one of those who in there right mind would rev a motor in neutral that high. If its disconnected nothing happens and the ECM doesn't care so to speak

    5.7 Volvo Penta Overheating at Idle

    From cold to warm it would do that also Use a IR temp gun and measure temps at thermostat housing and elbows. If the thermostat housing (temp sender location) was at 220* rubber hoses would be smoking

    OMC 5.7

    Correct me if I misunderstood It runs fine with the boots off, but if boots are installed it blows them off If that is correct, pull the drive and look in the exhaust outlet on the transom. Something may have built a nest

    Shifting issues related to electrical wiring

    The main engine connector. Look at the drawing you posted If the wire is not there, then OMC didn't install it. If not installed, then this might also mean the switches are not there either

    Leaking Shore Power Cable

    I don't know of one, but I'm sure there are some In most cases its the connectors that cost, 10 gauge 3 strand shore power cord is about $3 a foot. Might find it cheaper but would have to do some looking. My guess is it will cost more to test then buying a new cable Just found 10/3 STOW...

    Mercruiser knocks but only after 3,000 RPMs under load

    Sounds like a fan blade is rubbing. Look at the alternator and other pulleys. Take the belt off and see if there is any play

    Shifting issues related to electrical wiring

    You should have the wire and it comes from pin 4 of the connector. The alarm switches have one wire because when activated they apply a ground to the engine block. If the wire is not on pin 4 then it was removed or something strange happened
