    Brand new trim sensors ... how to set em?

    It has nothing to do with a ground. The limit stops the limit switch to stop working. This is done so you don't trim up to high when running. Note the Blue/White and Purple/White connections

    2013 350 MAG overheating (again)

    From your pic I'm seeing the thermostat for the Single point drain. In the link see item 20 (Tee) which is used to drain water out for winterization. The Tee has a bushing installed in the port going down which helps restricts water flow going up. This is done to help keep the engine a...

    Single continuous guardian tone on 2006 mercury optimax

    Unable to find your motor on boat info but here is one which is close. Since it starts when you come to idle I would look at the water pressure first Item 3 is water pressure and item 5 is overheat http://boatinfo.no/lib/mercury/manuals/150efi-175efi-200efi.html#/32

    Volvo Penta I/O won't fire... turns over, but wont start.. possible outboard damage??

    Agree, don't try to start with no water and the drive full up and out. Your fuel system https://www.marinepartseurope.com/en/volvo-penta-explodedview-7744060-23-18349B.aspx Lights coming on and getting brighter doesn't tell me much other then drain is getting less. Might be OK just don't...

    Charging system on 74 3.0L Merc.

    Looks like your alternator has been replaced with a one wire ALT. This is how you should be wired. This is an inline 6 but wiring is the same. You can add a voltmeter but connecting the + side to the ignition side and - side to ground.

    Volvo penta 1993 434a v6 alternator help? Fuel pump? , please, please help!

    Got this thread mixed with another, but alt answer is the same. The diodes I mentioned are in near the fuel pump relays. Diodes get check using the diode scale on the multimeter. When probes are connected on each side it will read high resistance one way and low the other. Since the ALT...

    Without the serial number I do believe you have a TB-V distributer, MEFI-3 ECU and TBI. Yes it needs to be placed in base timing mode by using a paper clip as shown below Don't know for sure but being a 1999 manual 25 shows it should have the timing plate of the chain cover. If in doubt...

    anchor wil not free fall from parked position when windless is released

    The Danforth anchor needs to be placed quite a bit forward of the pivot point, so the weight will take it over. Plow and claw anchors have shorter arms, and still need to pivot rearward but not as far. In the pic I'm pointing out where the balance point is, which is also the pivot point. Also...

    Trim rams anodes almost gone. How much longer in salt water?

    IMO I would not mix and aluminum is your best bet. If need be replace the ones on the boat now with new if they get to small. The good thing it appears your anodes are taking the hit and not the drive. The props will not have any issue, and for the most part the stainless in the prop is what...
