    Retirement in another Country

    The good thing is while were not rich, we don't need to find a cheap place. It would be a issue with the grand kids, but don't see them much now. FB is how we see them most, life just gets in the way I guess.

    Mercruiser Electrical Issue- Low power. Help pelase!

    Which wires were jumped? Check your ignition fuse, the one that is on the red/purple going to the key switch. If its blown then something in the TKS system is shorted. Most likely the water temp stitch or TKS module, along with the diode.

    For those that have tried signature four by 4 props???

    The B3 4/3 is Mercs XR series and will be different then going from a 3/3 to Hill marine 4/4. I went from 26P 3/3 to 24P 4/4 and did better because the 26P I could not reach 5200 rpm. The hole shot was better as well. If you buy direct thru Hill Marine they will exchange the props as many...

    454 knocking noise and water in oil after sitting for 4 years

    Never heard one that sounded like that, that didn't have some major problems. Pull the drive and see if it quiets down. If it doesn't can start with exhaust and work your way into the motor. Need to get the water out before it starts rusting

    MerCruiser 8.2 big block 2014 — shuts off after 5-7 min of running

    Clarify your term. For me it means the motor will not crank, so not turning over. Others use the term it cranks but will not start? If it does crank but not start. Do you get 2 beeps when the key is turned ON (run) before it cranks?
