    What rotation do these Merc 5.7's have.

    The serial number shows up as an 1987 and I'm not seeing counter rotation. If plug wires are still on the motor, check firing order

    Mercruiser new manifold getting hot??

    Being a previous 260 this would put your cooling system in the mid to late 80's. Probably have a cooling system like this and should be using a gasket like this

    New 5.7LX No Start, Backfire/Sneeze

    Recheck your firing order Connect a remote start cable so you can crank at the motor. Can do this easy enough at the slave solenoid on top the motor. Turn key ON then jump across the 2 larger contacts (Red/Purple to Yellow/Red), doing this will engage the starter. While cranking rotate the...

    Is there a battery switch? If no battery switch, need a meter or test light and check power on the starter post where the battery cable connects. If you have trim tabs, do they work? If power is on starter post, check the small post above it where some smaller wires are attached. This is the...

    Volvo 4.3GLPHUB Cranks Won't Start

    Oil pressure sender fitting broke off.

    The GL-A has other alarms and any of them can turn the alarm ON. I'm seeing Temp and 2 exhaust temp switches. You probably do have low oil pressure but it could be the switch. If it is the oil switch could change to 10w40 dino oil and that should bring the pressure up a bit

    5.7 gxi-f Timing flat top distributor

    No, that is not how it is done The flat top distributor cap (HVS) is not adjusted with a timing light, it is adjusted without the motor running at all. This is Merc but is done the same way

    Bilge Pump discussions

    Got all the pumps in and I'm getting impressed by Aurelio Tech (Person & Co out of MA). Either tey are coping ideas and improving on them, or others have been coping off them. There is a 1100 GPH bilge pump for only $16 and it looks like Rule, colors and all. The one I picked up to compare...
