    Engine ignition won't engage after running

    I mentioned to check the relay. It could be the relay but could also be a bad connection to the relay. Relays normally fail and that's it, but some can have bad contacts inside. When the key is turned to start it sends power from the key thru the neutral safety switch, then to the slave...

    Mercruiser 5.0 EFI starting issues

    Not to much on write ups, but this is how its done. The pis shows MPI but is the same for TBI. If you don't have an unused port in the tank, then a Tee fitting is made and placed in the fuel tank fill hose

    Bravo 3 Shift Adjustment . . .

    Had to look that up From my reading of the manual, drive history and Bul 2001-17 I'm finding things should be replaced as a kit. Might have missed something, just what I'm finding so far

    Reduced power

    Howdy Thanks for the SN, have a EC motor There is a In-Gear switch on the shift plate. If the PCM thinks the drive is in neutral it will sound the alarm saying reduce rpm. The pic is for an Alpha drive so it has 2 switches, your Bravo would have only the one. Disconnect the switch and see if...

    Howdy Don't see where the ground is located as the issue, it just happened to start running again after it was replaced. Have you run thru the TB troubleshooting chart?

    Help with 5.0L EFI boggy

    Figuring without a serial number I would say yes 30psi is correct Boat needs a lot more fuel under load. Your plugs show running rich, but that can happen while idling Can also check timing advance, or if the ECM is getting a knock signal it will retard the timing You may have a MEFI-3 and...

    More Bravo overheating problems *sigh* Some advice before I haul the boat?

    Does sound like Bravoits or the inlet hose is kinked. If Bravoits it can be checked by removing the hose at the transom.

    Mercruiser 4.3 lx gen2 2bbl fuel problem

    Trying figure out why it didn't run the pump when you bypassed the oil pressure switch. One side is feed by the key switch, so when its turned ON it should be there. If its not there then there is a break in connection. The purple wire goes to the ALT field winding's, the coil, oil pressure...
