    New 5.7l Vortec safety oil pressure switch for electric fuel pump issues.

    There is a connection which is not good. Think of the issue as a water hose with a restriction. Somewhere from the beginning to the end (meaning the ground back to the bat) there is some corrosion. It could be a contact in the 10 pin connector Start post Red to 50 amp 50 amp Red/Purple to 10...

    2011 Optimax 150 snapped driveshaft

    Manufactures defect maybe. Should not be any harder then a sterndrive. Main issue is having all the tools to do it I would think. Agree, SEI would be the easy way https://www.sterndrive.cc/Mercury-Mariner-Force-Outboard-Lower-Unit.html

    Low voltage to accessories from ignition switch

    Your checking it correctly, just saying if the ground or the hot going to the 10 pin connector is corroded, it would skew the reading. If you can connect to the battery neg for ground, you could determine it its on the ground side
