    Trailer bearings wear out ultra quickly.

    ok The inner seals are leaking and the salt water is destroying the bearings. The outer bearing buddy's do keep water out but is no good so long as the inner are leaking Need better seals or most likely the axles sealing surfaces are out of spec (have been worn down some). Might be able to...

    Hard starting after drifting with warm engine, Volvo Penta 4.3, V6-200-J (2017), A699123, VPGAS063873, EFI fresh water cooled, SX outdrive

    Since it only does it when its hot (all warmed up) it might be vapor locked Find the Schrader valve on the fuel rail. Use a rag over it and push in on the valve to see if air and fuel comes out. Might need to turn key ON/OFF a couple times to get nothing but fuel. Once there is nothing but...

    Trailer bearings wear out ultra quickly.

    Most likely the seals are not sealing very well on the axle. Pack bearings, dunk the boat, pull the hubs and see if there is water. If there is, you could try bearing buddies, not great but better then nothing

    Mercruiser 5.0 MPI fuel problems

    The double beep can be many things. Reving the motor in neutral can be the ECM saying your not in gear. My memory is not the greatest but its some where around 2500 RPM. If motor revs above 2500 (lets say) the ECM lets you know there might be a problem

    Mercruiser 5.0 MPI fuel problems

    That's my point, it cannot be the oil pressure switch. Fuel pump is powered ON by the ECM applying a ground to one side of the relay coil. The ECM my apply a ground but if the main power relay (MPR) is not supplying power to the other side it won't energize. So if it actually is "the pump...

    Mercruiser 5.0 MPI fuel problems

    Before you start throwing parts at it, get a fuel pressure gauge and connect to the fuel rail. Can get one on loan from a local auto parts place maybe. Watch the pressure to find out if its loosing pressure or something else. The MPI does use the oil pressure switch to keep the fuel pump...

    Engine no power under load

    Nothing has been said that the motor is missing. You can throw parts at it but that isn't going to find the real issue. Try the portable fuel tank, and you can use a 2 to 5 gal gas can and longer piece of fuel line. If gas can doesn't work then I would look at the carb
