    8.1 GXI-J Cranks but No Start w/ Diacom Logs

    Being open cooling, the cooling issue may very well be caused by crud caught in the thermostat. The thermostat should keep the stat closed for the most part but higher rpm moves to much water thru so motor gets cool With it being touch and go with start/no start if it was mine I would replace...

    4.3 Mercruiser fuel supply issue

    With the pressure being low (should be 43 psi) it's either the pump, regulator or a restriction. If it never gets above 30 even at idle with primer bulb, then either pump or regulator but most likely the pump The pump is a pain to get at as you can see. The regulator is on top the cool fuel...

    4.3 Mercruiser fuel supply issue

    The Pic looks like oil lines to a cooler. Have not worked on a 4.5 but the pump is connect directly to the fuel tank line. Think it's on the starboard side Check the fuel tank vent line next time it dies. Open gas cap and listen for air sucking in.

    4.3 Mercruiser fuel supply issue

    Thanks the S/N shows Mercs new 4.5 Pressure should be 43.5 within 3 seconds of key turning ON Should be 37.7 psi at idle I would install gauge and leave it when running https://www.crowleymarine.com/d/tech_article/specifications-power-unit-technical-data-2017-lit-18616-03-35

    4.3 Mercruiser fuel supply issue

    How about a serial number? Mentioned about 30 at the rail so it should be MPI but if that's the case it most likely should be 43

    Rear view Mirror

    Just thought of something but is more complex Look for a car for the Admiral and looked at one with a rear view mirror which is also a camera. So if you have things in the back that obscures the view, flip the switch and mirror is now a camera with same view. Begs the question why have a...

    No power at coil: Volvo Penta 3.0

    With a carb it should be pretty simple Does your distributor cap look like this one? https://www.amazon.com/Distributor-Ignition-Replacement-MerCruiser-Engines/dp/B08HYDXD5B Need a voltmeter and follow voltages Wiring goes from key on purple wire to kill switch From kill switch to pin 5 on the...

    Solas stainless 4 blades all the same?

    Have not used a Solas but with your 3 blade (B) 19 pitch (P) hitting the rev limiter you do need more pitch or more blades. A 4B 19P is equivalent to a 3B 21P Either of the above will reduce your WOT rpm but also reduce your hole shot. If you go with a 4B 17P will increase hole shot, will...

    SAE j1171 trim motor. Pressurized air in reservoir. Leg falling slowly

    In most cases it's the cylinders that need new seals. Rebuild kits can be found and easy enough to do

    8.1 GXI-J Cranks but No Start w/ Diacom Logs

    The way I read it, the motor will start and it's not stalling so the CMP is not lost. The motor does run but doesn't run very well and with both CMP and CKP codes, I would lean toward the CKP. Wrote this down from @muc posting on the J model and testing CMP [[ How to check CMP (cam position...

    Rear view Mirror

    That's looks same size as I had on my cruiser. Could put it next to center support pole, but maybe on the hard top post. My main concern is this boat already has a lot of blind spots, so adding another is the issue. Further away and higher would be better but wonder if it will give enough...

    1988 4.3 omc wont start

    Welcome Agree with Bondo Adding good gas to bad gas just gives you more bad gas. Could be the fuel filter is full of water and or crud
