    Low Voltage 4.3 V6 Mercruiser Alpha

    Battery should not drop below 10V measured at the battery terminals when cranking. A fully charged lead acid battery should be 12.7V If Bat checks out then you have corrosion issues

    Are we in trouble?

    Ok then the other comments have you covered Normally a boat doesn't get many hours, so even a higher hour one will last as long as it will be used. The issue is if the motor was in good shape to begin with

    That's a very good question for wake boaters. I don't have an answer and hope someone does. I would think fill and drain the bladders a couple times with extra chlorine

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    The Cobalt dealer sent me the cost sheet, and I'm going to work thru it on the R8. Not sure with everything pump up so much anything will happen this year, but there is a slight chance, very slight. Prices to high and to top it off, won't get the boat until maybe this time next year
