    starts then dies

    It could be something as simple as the key switch, or more complex as something else. The key places power at the coil in the start position, and may not be keeping power at the coil when its released. This is way I was asking if 12V is staying at the coil

    5.0 gxi-j not starting

    Yes, that's the one, so its not the kill switch Check for 12V at the coil with key ON and while cranking If power is there where most likely need a scanner. When cranking, does the tachometer show at least 300 RPM or more?

    Trim sender unit

    Sender is defective, or maybe the gauge If its a 2 wire sender there should be no issue with wiring. Can you rotate it further, like 180 degrees and see if it works better

    New Triton I/O Owner - Help with used boat prop selection

    Without knowing numbers I'm guessing, but I would get a Tach. Merc says 17 so I would try that Best bet is to find a prop repair shop and see if they will let you try some. Many will, you buy the prop and can bring it back and exchange if needed

    12V Power on/off

    Thanks, had not thought about the 110 outlet, it's worth a look Thanks, I'll try the USB 1 hour thing. I plugged it into the USB and it stayed ON, but didn't give it time. I know the 12V stays hot, because I forgot and the next day noticed its still ON

The slip would be higher with the prop being damaged On the other side, if you are around 4800 rpm and there is no more throttle, then I would do a compression test on the...
