    I have to take my gas tank out

    Only boats I know of that have wiring diagrams are the high end ones, the regular ones don not. Most use the standard lay out and add more for accessories. That said the boat probably wouldn't need much more

    Crossed the battery terminals

    It probably is the ECM, but look for 12V on the Pink/White wires on the injectors. I think the Gi uses the MEFI ECM and if so, use a LED and paper clip on the dlc as shown to see if any codes show up. Install and then count pulses

    New user , engine swap need electrical help

    Below is a 3.0 but wiring is the same. Need the purple wire to go to one side of the switch. Look around the motor for a banana plug not being used, if its purple that's your wire. Next the distributor should have a plug on the right (see pic) with 2 short wires and one longer one. The long...

    No power to guages

    Would follow the red/purple wire back to the fuse and is probably an inline fuse This is your issue There is a 90 amp fuse on the starter post, it looks square and is there to protect the alternator. Put meter on the starter post and you should see 12V. If 12V is there, then check for 12V...

    New poster but not new poster

    Been here some time and wonder how many sign in as a brand new poster but actually have been here a long time under another name? Doubt anyone will admit, but for me the dead give away is a first post about doing something dumb, or making an off the wall comment to help back up another post...

    Trim limit switch wire confusion

    They might, I haven't been around a 470 much. The newer model trim design uses 3 wires (main power, up and down), and the pump is grounded. The double blue/white would go to the trim limit switch on the drive, and the other side would go to trailer up function. The trailer switch is used to...

    my baja boss 272 it very very hard steering

    In most cases the cause of hard steering is the power steering pump. It can also be the hydraulic ram or adjustment. Look at tube where the cable steering is connected and see if the slots are straight up and down as in the pic ( d )

    Alpha One Gen 2 alignment

    If your mounts are soft they can still be adjusted so the alignment is true. If they are soft, then when the boat is operated stress will be created on the coupler with the motor moving. If you have or can get the use of a micrometer, measure your alignment tool. Many auto parts stores have...

    Best Black Caulk?

    Suggest do not use any kind of calk, its not needed if the surfaces meet the specs for the transom, your good. If the transom needs flattening, use something to build it up and smooth flat (JB weld, or other). Then just use the gasket and torque to spec But to answer your question, if you...

    4.3 mercruiser no spark at operating temp

    Sounds a bit like your loosing power to the module or pickup. Do you have 12V at the coil when it will not start? If the diode shorted you shouldn't be able to turn the motor off. If its open it would take a long time before the TKS module closed off the extra gas, so it would be running rich...

    Wgat I'm seeing is a MEFI controller and it might be a 4, and if so you should be able to use the led and paper clip to get the codes. muc can you assist? If it is a MEFI 4 then use a paper clip and led then turn key to ON without starting. Then count flashes

    TKS 4.3L Mercarb

    Depending on the outside temp it looks good 70 degrees F = 35-45 ohms 20 degrees F = 55-70 ohms When 12V is applied to the leads and module is cold, it will slowly increase in length (no click). Here is the bench test

    What would cause sudden loss of power?

    Yes, the filter causes a high flow restriction, it does fine a low rpms, but higher and under load it needs much more fuel. It also depends on which filter your have, the old stone filters go in the other way
