    1989 5.7 350 Mercruiser ignition replacement help - possible upgrade to DUI unit

    ok, thanks The TB ignition is pretty solid. If it does have trouble it either works or it doesn't. It won't stop working and work again later. The Dizzy module can get intermittent from a bad ground, and is the reason Merc came out with a new module with 3 wires instead of 2

    1989 5.7 350 Mercruiser ignition replacement help - possible upgrade to DUI unit

    It's hardly ever the coil, and if the rotor breaks then it wasn't installed correctly Looking at the spliced wiring on the motor, that is what's causing the problems. The module wiring appears to be spliced, and have no idea what the red wire is doing on that side of the carb.

    Mercruiser 5,7 speed

    Agree If this is a new to you boat then the most probable cause is the drive was changed with the wrong ratio. If this just started happening, then its a motor problem

    Mercruiser 5,7 speed

    Ok, have a compression test done with a accurate gauge. A new motor will be 150 psi and worn out one is 100. If your tach is accurate being 1100 rpm low you would need to reduce pitch close to 10 degrees If you know what pitch your prop is that would help, along with with the drive ratio is

    Ideas for an old trailer?

    I took an old bas boat trailer and made a flat deck hauler with a convertible watercraft mode. Don't think it will do 4K lb, but may do 2K counting the tongue weight

    Mercruiser 3.0 TKI engine crank half time - never starts

    The exception to both not getting charged. If the ALT supplies power to a bad Bat, then the ACR will charge neither because it doesn't connect a Bad to a good one. In your case the ALT is connected to the Start Bat which was bad and ACR would not connect to good house. Put good house in start...

    Hydraulic brake actuator issues-Missing cable?

    Never seen one like that and would be guessing. My guess is the piece that comes down to keep the latch closed also applies the break if it comes loose. If it was mine, I would get rid of it and install a more modern one

    Mercruiser 3.0 TKI engine crank half time - never starts

    All ACR's will not connect a good Bat to a Bad one. It knows if voltage falls below a preset point it will disconnect and not allow it to drain the good Bat. For the sounds of it, the house Bat was being charged by the Alternator when motor was running, but the ACR kept the start Bat from...
