    Mercruiser - GM Inline 6 (165hp) starter?

    Maybe think about how to put a vent or two in the cover, or make the sides so air can be exchanged. Put something in the sides so cover has an opening or have vent in the top that is rain tight but does allow air flow. A pic might help us come up with ideas

    Mercruiser - GM Inline 6 (165hp) starter?

    Closing it up pretty tight might be the issue. Think of a terrarium. It makes its own moisture. A white cover gets hot and can steam parts inside, darker colors make it worse Don't know just trying to understand

    Mercruiser - GM Inline 6 (165hp) starter?

    How is the boat put away between uses? What's the weather like? Think along the line if the boat was covered with plastic, its humid, salt water environment all that kind of stuff. What would cause it to just start rusting? Also is other things rusting?

    Damaged spring seat!

    I don't see adding the extra 3/8 plate will cause any issues with springs Don't know about the U bolts. Guess you've looked at Grainger square U bolts. They have some more then long enough, just not exact center to center

    Mercruiser - GM Inline 6 (165hp) starter?

    There is no reason any starter would rust and freeze up unless water is getting to it. Does your bilge stay wet?

    2002 Volvo penta Gxi 5.0 beeping issue

    No, I'm saying code 44 might not be causing the beep, but then again it could be causing the beep. It could very well be the knock circuit and my only reason behind it is the manual list it looks for it. It is not listed the same way Merc does. In the GXI manual it states something along the...

    2002 Volvo penta Gxi 5.0 beeping issue

    Understand, but there is no power reduction. Could be VP allows for code 44 with no issues, but the code can still be the issue. I'm just don't know. The guy that would would be @muc

    2002 Volvo penta Gxi 5.0 beeping issue

    Think this is 2 separate issues Code 44 is set by the ECM trys to make the engine knock and it is unable to do so. When Merc sets 44 then power is reduced. Unsure if VP does the same. As before 2 beeps means active fault. Only way as I see it is to be able to scan for codes when this...

    converting from ammeter to voltmeter

    Amp mostly started with Generators, then switched to Volts when the Alternator came out. Would take volt over amp any day.

    Power tilt fuse on Volvo Penta SX

    Should be on the pump. Look for a slim rectangular object with wires. Remove rubber cover cap and fuse should be under it

    Air condition not working

    No expert but after looking at the manual (not very good) I would lean toward the circuit board. The board has a relay which supplies power to the pump, or can be used to energize another relay which turns the pump on. If the pump does run when wired direct, then I would guess the board Do...

    7.4mpi just started running rough and with gas coming out exhaust

    Please clarify the even and odd? Is that cylinders 2,4,6,8 and 1,3,5,7 ? If it is what I just said, then that shouldn't happen. Would ask if the injector plugs can be moved around to the pic in post 29 Agree the difference in voltage might be the static state of the ECM, don't know, just...

    Need Help on 5.8fsi Couple of Issues

    Check the Reference voltage at the MAP, should be between 4-6V but should be right at 5V If the Ref is off it can cause problems with all sensors. Did you down load the manual from 4share? If so it has testing procedures

    7.4mpi just started running rough and with gas coming out exhaust

    Looking at wires going to the injectors, can you see 2 colors? Can you see if all colors are on just one side or are they divided up on both sides?

    Mercruiser 3.0 No Power

    I would say it was a corroded cable end which needed to be cleaned. They don't clean, just replace
