    A few instruments and gauges not working

    That depends on "IF" spot 8 did power the gauges. If it did power the gauges then yes it should fix your issue. Now, most gauges are powered from the motor feed and not an auxiliary feed like what this one looks like. So again it will work if that is where the power comes from There is only...

    hard to run

    As you know, if its not getting gas its not going to run. You sprayed gas in and it still will not run. Suggest doing a compression test and then need to find out if your getting good spark

    Trim/Tilt gauge is sticking

    Your tapping on the gauge may have been coincidence. In most cases its the trim sensor on the outdrive and not the gauge. If it is the gauge, it just needs to be replaced, don't know of anyone repairing them, and most likely its cost prohibitive.

    You want thread sealer. Some the bolts ho into water jackets. Blue is only used in certain spots and there not many, and none on intake or heads Use which ever you can find, perfect seal is not a must have

    Starter issues

    The wires are stand ABYC colors The pic are Mercruiser but wiring is same for your motor. Note the Yel/red goes from key switch thru neutral safety and to slave. The neutral safety switch can also have a bad connection Do agree with ding it is sounding that way

    Starter issues

    Getting closer, the connections on the relay are clean and tight, and there should be a black wire which goes to ground Have you checked the Bat voltage? Should be close to 12.7V as full charge for lead acid. Can keep the meter on the Bat cable at the motor side and turn key to see if your...

    Starter issues

    Probably a bad connection. If not that then either the key switch or the slave relay Look on the motor for a smaller wire coming off the starter and going to a relay, that would be the slave

    Alternator Question - Only +13V when Moving

    Either ALT will work in your case, but a 65 amp will not work as hard (so to speak) to produce the same lower charge output. That said I doubt you will need another for a long time

    Engine dies after running for several minutes

    Condensers do last, but I always change because its a cheap item. Correct there is no resistor coil. Measuring the voltage will tell us if its loosing power and if running correctly. Might be something simple as a bad connection or my key switch

    Vortec 5.7 Intake Manifold Sealing Recommendations

    The best way is with the motor serial number. If not on top the motor, look above the starter for a plate. The white stuff is thread sealant
