    Did it bring down the exhaust temps?

    Mercruiser 3.0 Overheating

    Didn't think 175 was an option, either 140 or 160. Don't have your serial number so can't double check your work.

    4.3 runs great for about 30 minutes then bogs, pops won't accelerate

    You seem awfully salty for someone that doesn't understand how the timing on your engine works 🤷

    2016 Mercruiser 6.2L ECT DTS Axius Cooling System Issue

    Are you able to see which temp rises first? WAG is that once you start to stress it and pressure doesn't rise, exhaust temp would rise first followed by ECT.

    Shift interrupt switch - how to adjust??

    That looks pretty smooth. Is the shift plate moving when you shift with the engine off? On muffs? On the water? Did you try leaving the shift assist plunger disconnected like BT suggested? You said the plate now moves easily with everything disconnected, and snaps back centered? See what happens...

    shift issue and running with some noise from lower unit gear

    Yes, it's difficult to repair. No, you don't need it. Seems like you have enough issues to take care of, I'd leave that one until you do your bellows. I haven't had a trim gauge or limit switch in years

    Alpha one gen1 drive shaft housing lower oil seal question

    Hmm, last I did it a couple of years ago that wasn't the case. That would be a better solution

    Alpha one gen1 drive shaft housing lower oil seal question

    You install the lips in the direction of the stuff you're trying to keep out. If I were designing it, I'd install upper seal lips up to keep oil in, and lower seal lip down to keep water out. However, Merc would apparently rather you get water in the drive rather than lose oil, so they recommend...

    The ps cooler is an obstruction point. Did you back flush aft of the cooler as well?

    Mercruiser won't go above 1000 rpm.

    Next step is to scan for codes

    Mercruiser won't go above 1000 rpm.

    Did you check the gas in the water separator? Any water in there?

    Was that the story you were telling me?

    Sank the 'ol girl!?!

    If you decrease the gap does the spark change color? Do you even know if there's a problem yet? Id be very surprised if the module had a part failure here. If you have 12v to the module and the connection is clean, you're probably good
