    GX1850

    No issue, your not prying. I still have the 8 turns lock to lock and appears it will stay that way. It can be fixed with a variable helm and all new larger lines, meaning big bucks The trim was fixed by replacing the entire trim system on starboard motor

Once start Bat has been recharged then the ACR will close and charge house Bats Don't use a terminal block to connect ACR, connect ACR with direct leads from Bats. Also don't want a terminal block between Bat and starter, should...

    MerCruiser 5.0 (Carb Engine) will not turn, what is this part?

    Motor can be moved by grabbing the belt and a pulley, then rotate clockwise. Can be done easier by removing the plugs. The neutral safety switch is inside the throttle/shifter handle. Yel/Red comes from the key, to the neutral switch in the handle, then to the relay

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Called dealer a few days ago and he said bring it in, well that isn't going to happen unless I have to. It's 3 hour round trip times 2, not counting how long again it will take. So about 2.5 months to get the pump replaced and they didn't make sure the trim was working correctly before giving it...

    Mercruiser 5.7mpi horizon single cylinder burning lean

    Photo's don't work, MODs have been trying to get it fixed for a long time but iBoat Admins don't care. I'm out out ideas, it looks white so running a bit lean, but might not be enough to cause damage

    trolling for hours then oil pressure alarm goes off

    Don't have enough info to determine what happened. The sei is same as alpha and thanks for clarifying If the couple is what gave up, then the water pump stopped turning so it was overheat issue.
