    Merc 25 2 stroke/2 cyl remote shift difficulty

    Dunno, haven't checked. Starter turning over slowly as well, battery got submerged, starter got wet. Not sure where the problem is. Guess it would be a good time to take apart the starter and clean it...

    Water in the drive shaft bellow

    Couldn't tell from the description whether this was the shift cable bellows as well as the drive shaft bellows. You can also get water into the boat through the shift cable

    Starter engaging with one bolt installed, spins but does not engage when both bolts are installed

    Is there a PMGR option for the 3.0? It's significantly smaller and would use a different bracket

    Merc 25 2 stroke/2 cyl remote shift difficulty

    Yes, shifting is difficult with engine running or not. So does the starter need to be removed to access the shaft (guessing yes), and am I on the right track?

    2016 Mercruiser 6.2 ECT - long beep every few minutes???

    Seems like you have an expensive project boat there :) I would simplify the wiring until you get it straight. Disconnect solar, physically isolate your house batteries, remove as many switches as possible, etc

    The engine stalled and no start while on the water

    Start with spark, move on to fuel... Which are you missing when it won't start? And assuming you mean it won't run, not won't crank

    The PMGR starter doesn't use the brace on the vee engines, not sure about the 3.0

    What type of coolant to use?

    ? I haven't heard of RV coolant being used in a closed cooling system. That stuff is for winterizing, not heat exchange AFAIK.

    2016 Mercruiser 6.2 ECT - long beep every few minutes???

    The math doesn't work if the gas consumed to get to the beer > cost of beer consumed.

    Merc 25 2 stroke/2 cyl remote shift difficulty

    I've had this thing for 7ish years? It doesn't get the attention of the other boat, and rarely needs it. Last season noticed that shifting into/out of gears was becoming difficult. This season (after it got hammered in a storm at the end of last season) it's much harder, particularly getting...

    Open your gas cap when the symptoms happen, this could be a clogged vent

    Knock Sensor Faulty?

    There are plenty of other reasons for an intermittent problem to show up. This is easy to test, just hook up a timing light.
