    1999 Volvo Penta 4.3 GL has water in oil

    In most cases the standard is water comes in on the bottom and out on the top. That said look at your pump and how it is located (it could be rotated 180 degrees). Normal motor is Left hand rotation

    Mercruiser 5.0 mpi only 4000 rpm

    Most cases the MAP reads in kpa, but if 14,9 is Hg then that collates to about 50 and which says the motor is only getting 50% of the fuel available. Your TPS is at 100% but fuel is at 50%. Would like to see a full range of how the MAP changes

    Mercruiser 165 outdrive, can i add a trim gauge?

    The manual shows two types of gauge senders and does show the current type. If your gimbal pins have the allen socket fitting so the sender can be inserted, you would just need to drill the 2 holes, run the wire, and install the gauge Otherwise tpenfield just got a patent on a powered new design

    You can bypass the switch at the helm by connecting from the key switch to any other purple wire connected to a gauge

    97 Volvo Penta 5.7L GLPLKR I/O Parts help

    I think you should have the Delco ESt distributor, Don't see it being the coil, it hardly ever is. Start by checking for 12V on the Purple wire connected to the coil with the key ON. If there is 12V then remove distributor cap and see what rotor and cap look like. Then test pickup coil...

    1996 Mercruiser 4.3 LX+ Runs rough after 1800 RPM

    Since your getting spark even though not at high rpm's it probably wouldn't do any good to run through the test flow, but this is the only way to check why it wouldn't spark

    boat stalling shifting out of neutral

    Need to get some fuel pressure readings. Also try the paper clip and LED to see if there are any codes, doubt there are but need to check. Go to radio shack or other online and get a 12V resistor LED. They get a paper clip. Install the paper clip and LED in the DLC connector, and turn...

    Thanks, being a 1994 it should be a Alpha 1 Gen 2. Here is a link to the entire drive http://www.mercruiserparts.com/alpha-one-gen-ii-1991-1995-0d469859 The trim cylinder rod end cap is on the end and then a anode can be attach to it. If the anode is loose, this is not much of an issue...

    Volvo Penta 7.4Gi sputtering

    Sounds like its not getting enough fuel. I would check fuel pump pressure. You have two pumps and low and a high pressure. The low pressure keeps the tank full and the high pressure supplies to injectors Low pressure above the fuel filter High pressure inside a tank...

    2005 Q4 with Merc 4.3 wiring problems

    There isn't a wiring diagram for a boat internal wiring, You either have something miss wired or something is shorting to another connection. Just need to follow the wiring. This is a basic arrangement and in most cases this is how it should be done but not necessarily how it was done

    Mercruiser 6.2 mpi ignition trouble

    There is an incorrect statement here, or you don't have power coming into the breaker. The starter has a 90 amp fuse which can feed the breaker

    Boat won’t start

    Probably not the starter, my first guess is corroded cables. Remove the battery cables on both ends including where it attaches to the block and the starter. Clean them up real good to nice shinny metal. If the click is coming from down by the starter then the cable cleaning should fix it...
