    Accessory Wire at Ignition Switch?

    Depends on what the orange wire feeds. If it goes to another location and is fused, then all good. Yes, you could move the orange to Acc but then again do you need a Acc side or is Run good enough? Most boats just have 3 positions. Things like radio, fish finder and other use their own power...

    Engine Alarm At Idle, Then Slowly Fades Out. Possible Idle Overheat

    I doubt its the lube bottle, you proved its the temp switch, and your are getting hot. One side of the mans will always be hotter then the other, its just water flows easier to one side Get a short piece of clear hose and fittings at the hardware store. Connect the hose between the thermostat...

    Broken Lewmar hinge '96 Sundowner 225

    Doesn't show much material on the lid, but if it can be drilled out straight enough. Then drill the fixed portion and use a stainless or aluminum screw. The fixed portion would be drilled and tapped

    Engine Alarm At Idle, Then Slowly Fades Out. Possible Idle Overheat

    Your motor doesn't have a pee hole Yes same bottle. As a test, if the alarm is sounding disconnect one of the wires going to the lube bottle. If alarm goes off, then lube bottle switch is hanging and may need replaced Can do the same disconnect test for the temp sender and oil pressure...

    How do i test my engine alarm

    Depends on the motor Most all have 12V powering one side of the alarm, and switches (oil pressure, temp, lube bottle, exhaust, other) provide grounds to active it

    Motor Knock

    A random noise (knock) would be hard for anyone not listening on the boat to be able to advise. Could be anything, something loose in the bilge to something on the motor. Could be the hull How was the stringer fixed? Look where it was repaired to see if something is starting to show With...

    Overheating

    Not familiar with the design, but I would look on the raw water side first. Has the impeller been changed? What does the pump housing look like? Place a piece of clear hose between the drive and heat exchanger to see if your sucking air

    Mercruiser 4,3 MPI from 2008, intermittent alarm after 3500 rpm??

    The gear switch IMO is useless and causes more problems then it would solve. Its one of those who in there right mind would rev a motor in neutral that high. If its disconnected nothing happens and the ECM doesn't care so to speak
