    99 Volvo Penta 5.0Gi won’t get power to fuel pump.

    Got your PM and would like to keep all the info here The relay pins 85/86 go thru the magnetic coil of the relay. When the ground side of the coil is not grounded by the ECM, you should see 12V on both sides of the coil. If your not seeing power on both sides then either the connection or...

    B3 Prop pitch recommendation needed please

    Oh boy, thats going to hurt, but if you stick with Hill marine not that much Look at it like this. B1 is 1.5 ratio, with lets say 19 pitch prop, turning 5000 RPM and getting 50 MPH. This equates to a prop slip of 16.6% B3 is 2.0 ratio, turning same 5000 RPM, and 50 MPH, and slip is the same...

    Electrical wiring

    The individual conductors are rubber coated, the jacket is cloth Did figure out the wire size was 6AWG and not 10. Just thought "dryer" and expect to see #10. It didn't look right and before I finished was thinking this doesn't look right. Took a caliper to the wire and shows 0.16 so #6 Was...

    B3 Prop pitch recommendation needed please

    The 6.2 350hp will actually be 320hp at the prop. The 350 MPI is 300hp at the prop, so your getting 20 extra hp and good thing is a more torque. You should have a bit better hole shot, but the WOT will have 200 extra RPMs at 5200 Will probably need 2 inch less pitch for Tahoe For now stick...

    89 Mercruiser Alpha 1 gen 1 stiff steering, grinding, loose outdrive

    The PS system is self bleeding, it wouldn't take but a couple turns to purge any air. If the pump is making the noise, place a long screw drive on the pump and the other end against your ear. Can also use a wooden stick, cut off broom handle. Turn the wheel and listen if its coming from the...

    89 Mercruiser Alpha 1 gen 1 stiff steering, grinding, loose outdrive

    If the drive can move and the yoke arm does not then you need a new steering pin. Probably need a new/rebuilt gimbal ring because the bolts were loose and still have play Grinding noise in the PS is either air and fluid is low or most likely the pump is cavating and needs replaced

    Mercruiser 3.0 only stays running with key engaged?

    Guys the kill switch is NC for I/O, 2 cycle OB use NO. Power from the key (purple wire) goes thru the kill switch and then to the motor and coil. When pulled it opens removing power to the coil. Bypassing it just takes it out of the equation for now

    Mercruiser 3.0 only stays running with key engaged?

    Do not agree. Just the opposite, left post on solenoid (purple/Yellow, key start) gets power while cranking. Purple (key ON) wire thru resistor
