    Thanks. since fuel and water are on the starboard side, I made the assumption that the shore power should go there. however thought I would ask.

    Mercruiser 3.0 turns over but won't start

    I would check for spark, check compression, and find why you have a fuel smell. Check the tell-tale hose from the fuel pump. If it has fuel in it, your fuel pump failed and is dumping raw fuel into the carb

    Mercruiser 3.7 (470) wont turn all the way

    An overheat causes the headgasket to leak into the cylinder walls because an iron head and open-deck aluminum block is not the smartest design Only being able to turn 90 degrees would have me pulling the motor and putting it on a stand regardless of the motor

    Mercruiser 3.7 (470) wont turn all the way
