    OMC to Merc swap in 1996 Sundowner 195

    Do you have the harness out of the donor boat? you could cut the connector off and splice onto your existing boat harness. Or get a used boat harness for the plug. I think this 3 ft harnes could be spliced in to boat harness as I believe the engine has female pins...

    2007 Mercruiser (4.3) Stern Drive

    Moog 344 or equivalent should work for external clip engine. Spicer makes a cross ref to it 5-3214X if you want a different brand. I have used moog 315G on my gen one alpha no issues. I bought a set of the spicers a year ago when I did my bellows but they were in good shape so I left the...

    Ticking/clicking noise Mercruiser alpha one 2002

    Its compression related willing to bet manifold to head, could be loose plug. Wouldn't think you are screwed but need to get in around manifold and head and see where it is coming from. Also wouldn't hurt to do compression check to rule out head gasket. Did it over heat ?

    Oil pressure dropping

I found I would get this when running higher rpm (above 4k close to WOT rpm limit) for a decent period of time like going at WOT RPM for 10 plus minutes. Normally at high rpm my oil pressure would...

    YEs no advantage to the delco vs TBV except when you need to replace the module. this parts breakdown that may or may not be for your exact engine shows dist bushings. You can put in your serial number to get an exact fit . I would take the cap off and check the rotor for side to side play...

    2007 Merc 5.0 TKS stalled at speed, had to be towed

    Try an oem gimbal bearing. Turn the input shaft in the drive possible that bearing on drive yolk is bad. the fact that you didnt have a knocking before bearing was replaced would make me think the bearing is bad or not seated fully
