    Another no start issue!

    Rotate the motor until you see the main cross mark on the damper or a plate above the damper as in pic. Then look real close it, and maybe take some sand paper to it (might have been painted over). Point gap .016 to .019 and dwell 26 - 31 degrees

    Wot issue

    I mentioned digital shift, which means you would not have cables going from the throttle handle to the motor. You probably have the standard cable shift type You said a beep and I'm assuming a constant beep and not 2 beeps every so many seconds. Its best to scan motor for codes to see which it...

    Alpha gen 1 trim switches not working at all

    Check the plug to see if power is actually going thru it, mine went bad internally and it looks fine Can jump from the red to the small terminals on the relays (Blue/white and Green/White)

    Mod contact

    Sorry if this has come up and this old guy does not remember. Since using the "flag" is not good to use unless really bad "I guess". How can a member know which Mod is online at a given time, so if something is found (not according to the rules) the member will know who to contact to get it...

    2005 350 mag (5.7) smartcraft faults Water pressure + fuel level sender

    I see what your saying, so guess this needs to go to Merc for a question, either that or muc might know. Item 36 shows 4 entries, 2 for PS cooler water pressure, and 2 for oil 0-100 psi. Both are labeled 36 because only one is shown but used in 2 different locations Motor SN 0W068236 PS cooler...

    Mercruiser 3.0 Dead When Hot

    My first thought is the slave relay. Should get 12V when key turns to start on the lower small yellow/red wire. If you jump across the top 2 terminals, this will engage the starter

    USA Pres alert

    Have been told you cannot opt out of the alert, but think if you never signed up for any alerts on your phone, then you don't get them. Admiral received alert (also receives Amber, Rev 911, weather and others), but I got nothing. I have not signed up for anything on the phone, but do get them...

    Key wont turn engine over

    If holding the key to start and moving the shifter a tad fwd/rev does not cause the motor to crank, find the slave solenoid on the motor. Jump across the 2 top contacts to see if the motor cranks. If it does crank, then measure the voltage on the small terminal below the larger ones on the...

    Wet Winterization

    Suggest a submersible pump and place in a plastic egg crate. Then attach what ever is needed to hold the crate under the water even with about the depth of the hull. Add PVC pipe that will extend to the edges of the hull. Can then add a thermostatically controlled switch to turn it ON/OFF, or...

    can't insert alignment tool after replacing gimbal bearing

    The tool I have will determine how to adjust once the tool is in the coupler. Even with a new bearing it should not be that hard to get the tool started in the coupler, unless something is wrong, like if the rear mounts compressed, or front moved. This is the alignment tool 91-863372

    1994 Four Winns Horizon 215 5.8L EFI OMC

    In most cases higher octane does nothing more then empty your wallet faster. It can reduce the motors efficiency because it burns slower. If the ECM (like mine) it can cause the motor to retard timing because it could not test the knock sensor. My ECM test for the knock sensor operation on...

    Boat won’t take off

    1994 Four Winns Horizon 215 5.8L EFI OMC

    This was an issue with Merc gen 3 cool fuel modules, VP didn't use them so no issue. The Gen 2 cool fuel did not have the issue. Not your issue, but to clarify, I contacted Merc last month for this same question on another forum. They replied with Gen 3 cool fuel module Yes, and it could...
