    A1G2 decisions. Rebuild or replace?

    Would replace the ring it beat up, make sure the big square ring is properly glued in there. ive had a couple times where alignment is not text book perfect aka two fingers on bar, but drive goes in perfectly. i have had it where i think there is so much grease from alignment checking when you...

    Mercruiser 5.7 won’t make power

    Dont know but you certainly have a reasonably smart group here stumped. If you pull the engine maybe go back in with a big block… at least now with adding a third toon it isnt an apples to apples comparison. so you have a 25” center tube and what size outer tubes?

    Idles great / misses when throttled up

    Did you go through the trouble shooting guide chris posted ? This will identify if your sensor/ pickup is bad or module etc.

    Mercruiser 5.7 won’t make power

    thats why i mentioned it toons dont plane out , also had similar issues with my brothers Twin Vee power cat , been hard to hone in on optimal prop. Im sure ops boat is more tail heavy with a 5.7 than 3.0. about all he hasnt checked yet is if cam is retarded or degreed it in.

    Mercruiser 3.0 diagnosis / serial number decode

    Usually if you were activating the shift cut out going into gear that is an indication that your lower shift cable or shift mechanism needs a replacement or is hung up

    Mercruiser 5.7 won’t make power

    1000-1200 rpm depending on how much cup it has and if the engine can swing it Be interested to see if that works maybe the cam doesnt have enough low end torque for this application

    Mercruiser model 1A/1B/1C Trim pump

    Yes that is the original style pump (takes ATF) that my grandfather replaced with the one i linked to which worked just drive would sink down over sevral minutes… i assumed you needed a replacement But sounds like that isnt the case. if you do that later tilt pump which is black will work… merc...

    Mercruiser 5.7 won’t make power

    If you end up with nothing else to try I would set total advance at 30 and see what that does. I tink the delco kit states 8 intial 25 total for a 350 but I think merc for a vortec is 10 initial and 30 or so total .

    Mercruiser 5.7 won’t make power

    That is on the low side. Might be taking Danforth's advice and see if you have a flat cam lobe by checking lift at the rockers. Also would look for intake and carb gasket leaks. If you had a intake leak I would think your plugs would be way lean and you would have top adjust your idle mix screws...

    Mercruiser model 1A/1B/1C Trim pump

    I think the manifold is not under the gimbal housing hoses come out the side of the gimbal housing

    Shifter is turning the upper shift shaft when put in forward or reverse.

    Might have bent the swivel shaft would disconnect the lower shift cable at the shift plate see if it moves feely both with the swivel shaft connected and disconnected. That should narrow down where the hang up is. There are an upper and lower set of bushings in the bellhousing and a upper...

    Mercruiser model 1A/1B/1C Trim pump

    I would say good luck on this . My grandfather had a '66 Penn Yan with same drive but the 150 hp 6 cylinder, Quite frankly the tilt never worked since it was new, always had issues. I cut my boat maintenance teeth on that boat with him This is pushing my memory back but originally his had a...

    Eliminate thunderbolt system ?

    Agreed I like carbs myself but appreciate the electronic ignition. But as Chris lays out it is relatively easy to diagnose when understood So yo have an issue when you accelerate? As Chris mentioned lay out what the issue is and what you are working on may not be ignition related. .

    Eliminate thunderbolt system ?

    Of course find a points distributor that is marine rated and fits your engine. Toss TB distributor and module take 12 v wire off positive terminal of coil put appropriate resistance in to feed coil during run You will need to pick up 12 v off the starter slave solenoid or starter to supply full...

    Surging / losing rpm

    I think you need to put a 0 in front of your serial number here is a parts break down fir it https://www.marineengine.com/parts/mercury_marine_parts/sn/M001615 i would suspect this is electrical loose or dirty connection. Do you loose your dash power when this happens ? thoughts are look at...

    Mercruiser 5.7 won’t make power

    I would think rpm should drop, but you should also see the timing be fixed on the timing light. Otherwise i think it would be moving around some. you do see a fair number of posts on having trouble getting into base mode, which is why i suggested just set the total advance at 30-32 at 3 k or so...
