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

    That isn't going to work, your feeding a analog signal (variable voltage) to a digital gauge. That wire comes from the standard oil pressure sender You need a digital signal 8M6000626 for that gauge which goes thru the ECM Do you have the 3 pron plug to connect it up?

    Mercruiser 188 backfiring through the carb ONLY going forward

    You have something that is clogged up. The Ford open cooling routing is kind of weird IMO but does work. Look at the gasket between elbow and manifold

    5.7L Gi-A will no longer start

    Code 44 is unable to detect knock, and while might happen with it disconnected, it normally happens because the ECM tries to make it knock during throttle up, and does not get one. Right now don't think that's your issue Which coil was replaced item 12 or 22?

    Deep Sixing Single Point Drain.

    Your exhaust manifolds and elbows are different, they are dry joint where Maclin's are wet. The wet manifolds may not be able to pass the same amount of water, or Merc wants to keep the manifolds warmer then the wet type. Don't know just trying to understand the changes. The V6 will put out...

    Deep Sixing Single Point Drain.

    Need to find out what your serial number is. If it is between 0M300000 THRU 0M614999 then the below will work. If its not then need some more thought. If yours is different and has a bravo drive some other routing can be needed. The hose coming from cool fuel to the single drain needs to be...

    Looking For An Alternate Way To Winterize 5.0EFI Bravo II

    They OEM fittings should be brass 1/4 NPT to the 1/2-13 Merc. The Y fitting with the knock sensor should also be 1/4 NPT with the above fitting attached. Now the cool fuel will not have this fitting on it The hose going to the cool fuel could also be cut and one of these installed

    Blowing Fuses

    It is true if the diode shorts the motor will continue to run. In the drawing below, power comes from the 20 amp fuse to the Thermal switch, then TKS module. When the diode shorts power will also go to the fuel pump. The thermal switch will not cause the diode to short out, it is just a...

    VP 5.7 GSi PEFS - temp 160 at idle, 110 at speed

    There should always be water going to the risers, the thermostat restricts flow to the block until it reaches temp This is not yours and only look at the Stat and the top exhaust connections of how water flows. The left shows the Stat closed and only a small amount of water flows out of the...
