    1988 Marlin 4.3 alpha 1

    Ran into this issue twice this week, and it would be installed this way IF the filter stone was used. Before all the small paper filters and screens with a plastic body, we all used those stone filters. They have all gone by the way side these days

    87 OMC Cobra 4.3 engine wiring issues

    Howdy May not be a marine ALT, if that is the case then NO it should not be on the boat. The auto ALTs are not ignition protected. OMC used a 3 wire ALT like Merc, see drawing I would get a internal resistor coil and run a new non-restive wire to feed it The hour meter can be connected...

    Putting down out drive in winter and solenoid failure?

    If the trim limit on the drive is not working this will keep the trim switch from working in the up direction. As before check the continuity with the three prong plug

    5.7 LX EFI random idling stall - electric fuel pump?

    The VST pump should be running so long as the motor is running. Any pressure on the fuel line to the injectors which exceeds the regulator setting is released back to the tank. The tank is just like a carb bowl, and the low pressure pump keeps the pressure there until the float drops and...

    Mercruiser Alpha One Gen One Overheating

    It might be a gauge issue and not an overheat problem. Your temp gauge has a sender in the thermostat housing, suggest getting an IR temp gun and measure the temp at the housing and compare with the gauge

    New 3.0l almost ready for first start...

    Kind of sort of No, to modify the timing pigtail to a running one, is after timing is set, cut the wire that is currently looped. Then remove the black wire from ground and connect to one side of the shift interrupter switch. If you ever need to recheck timing, connect the loop wire together...
