    Mercury remote 881170A15

    In the pic above, note the Red wire coming from the Bat. Look for large red or red/purple wire. This will go to one connection on each relay. Need to see if it has 12V (need a voltmeter)

    VP 5.0 GXI - Oil pressure drops to zero above 2500 revs.

    My guess is its something with connections on the gauge because your not getting an alarm. The motor has 2 sensors, one for the gauge your looking at and the other is what the ECM looks at. Check connections on the gauge and sensor. If good, remove the gauge sensor and install a mechanical...

    Mercury remote 881170A15

    Think of the trim system as having 2 power systems. 1 is between the handle and the relay coils. This side energizes the relays but does not actually power the pump 2 is between the pump and the higher power relay contacts. This side takes Battery power and connects it to the pump Side 1...

    slipping coupler?

    Coupler should last longer then the boat if alignment is maintained. The PO may not have been as diligent as you, but like everything manufactured sometimes stuff happens due to a defect not found in manufacturing. If boat spent many hours at trolling speeds then the coupler would need to be...

    Not priming. Volvo penta 5.0 gi

    The 2 beeps is the ECM powering up so the Main Power Relay (MPR) has energized. The fuel pump not turning ON means either the ECM is not applying a ground to the Fuel Pump Relay (FPR) or the fuse is blown. Swap MPR with FPR and see if you still get the 2 beeps. If you get the beeps check the fuse

    Mercruiser 5.0 50 degrees at idle

    For the timing to be 50* advance either the balancer has moved or your using the wrong plug to set timing (Ford/Chevy thing, Chris post 4). Only way I know without taking the head off to find exact TDC is with a stop bolt.

    Mercruiser 3.0l TKS stalling

    Right now I'm not worried about a small drip because its all in an interpretation of what your seeing. As air is sucked in pass the venturi the low pressure sucks fuel out of the carb. The higher the rpm the more fuel is sucked out. Depending on how clean the carb internal channels are will...

    Regal Commodore 2665 5.7OSXI, engine will not start, making NO turn over noise when turning key.

    Need more info and agree should be in VP area Might just be a bad starter When key is turned, the starter bendix or solenoid should push the gear into the ring gear. If this isn't happening, then may just be a stater issue, or wiring

    Mercruiser 3.0l TKS stalling

    Those are the venture's and a little drip is no issue. From your symptoms your most likely getting to much fuel so its flooding a little. This can be from a piece of crud getting in the carb needle seat, or just need to re-adjust things. The enrichment module is not the overall cause, because...
