    Alpha 1 gen 2 5.7L overheating

    Thanks Chris. I wasn't sure what test you were referring to which had to be done in the water. I'll pull the drive, test the flow and replace the impeller.

    Not sure what you mean. I want to eliminate the impeller as the cause. How do you recommend suppling water to the t-stat housing?

    Alpha 1 gen 2 5.7L overheating

    Should I be at idle? I was at 1000 rpm's for 15 seconds and didn't even get one gallon. I think I might pull the drive and hook the hose right up to the transom assembly.

    The engine, transom assy, and outdrive are brand new. Hasn't been in the water yet. It was a complete boat rebuild.

    My thoughts exactly achris. I own a few gas stations/shops/marts and I use OEM as much as possible. The extra $ is definitely worth it.

    BPI has some reasonably priced kits. # BPISBDJ7 is the one I believe I need.

    Thanks achris, I'll check the #'s and flow diagram. Those dry fit #'s are what I got to. Thanks

    I should have been clearer. I meant, Is it possible to convert to a "dry joint" set up. If possible, any ideas where to research what else I have to change. Like you mentioned, the t-stat housing.

    Hello folks, I have recently repowered my 1992 5.7L Wellcraft to a Marine Power 5.7L vortec, carb, EST and electric fuel pump engine. Can I upgrade my exhaust to a dry joint?? I currently have a wet joint 4 in. center riser. ThANKS

    Good day all, I bought a new transom assembly. The two black/male ends are identical with NO colors. Does it matter which one goes to the dual blue/white female connector or the single purple/white connector? Thanks in advance.

    Merc. 5.7 Repower wiring

    I got the relay but it's a 5 wire unit. Can you cut the middle wire. Would you mind sending a detailed pic of how to wire it? Also, is it OK to solder a 12 and 14 gauge wire together? All the relays and in-line fuses seem to be 12 gauge. Thanks

    Merc. 5.7 Repower wiring

    I see those schematic's where the purple wire is powering the electric choke, but, those are 2 BBL carbs. only. The 4 BBL carbs. (again according the the Edelbrock tech line) should NOT be powered by the purple wire from the coil or alternator. Still confused. Thanks
