    Wema fuel sender Damaged. Rod and float came lose inside fuel tank

    Measure from top of the tank to the bottom, this is the dimension you need to replace float sender. The float part which remains in the tank might be an issue if it gets under or hung up on top the new float. If you get a tube sender that will work then this would not be an issue, because the...

    Replacement Key Switch for 1974 Merc 165

    The accessary position is used to connect things like a radio or 12V outlet only. Everything else gets connected to the run side. When key goes to run (ON) it connects everything on the Acc post and the run post. Most boats today do not use the Acc position, they use separate switches to turn...

    MCM 5.0 EFI possible fuel issue?

    The fuel, air and spark are good but still will not accelerate to full power. You need to scan the motor for codes but one thing that would cause this is the knock sensor. Its mounted to the starboard side of the block and has one Dark Blues wire on it. If it is the knock sensor, you can...

    1998 Mercruiser 5.7 liter i/o, trying to put a new alternator on it. Don't know how to change from 4 wire alternator to this new kind.

    My best guess is your going to need a connector to plug into where the 2 pins are. Your Mando Alt connections

    1998 Mercruiser 5.7 liter i/o, trying to put a new alternator on it. Don't know how to change from 4 wire alternator to this new kind.

    Howdy You need to post some more times before you will be able to upload pics. Many have trouble getting info from DB and they have nothing online which will help as you have found. I found an older thread which has some info on it that may help if you can identify the terminals as listed...

    350 Horizon Randomly Shuts Down

    That is only a representation not an actual diagram. Power comes in thru the Red/Purple through a 20 amp fuse to the common on the switch. When turned to ON, power goes thru the neutral safety switch and then to the gauges. The neutral safety switch is in the throttle handle or may be on the...

    Do I need to trim my shift cable core?

    Your paper says it should be 72 1/8 total length and is pre cut. If (the big IF) the cable is mixed up with old style cables the look at the figure and cut to fit. My first guess is there has been many made and I'm almost certain there is nothing that needs to be cut. If (another if) it does...

    1997 mercuiser 5.7 running real bad need HELP.!!!

    Wonder if the check ball and spring are sealing off the pump discharge area like they should. Its for the accelerator pump, but if the check balls are not sealing off, the fuel could be coming in. If it was this piece you should see fuel drip when the motor is on and even off maybe. Don't see...

    Moving Seawater pump

    This is a Gen VI 502 with serpentine belt. Getting to the seawater pump on the starboard side requires me to hang upside down for about an hour if all goes well. Wonder if anyone has ever tried to move the pump to the port side?

    Need help with a no power issue on 5.7 GSI

    Sorry I messed up, you should have the EST distributer, not the TBV https://www.marinepartseurope.com/en/volvo-penta-explodedview-7744300-28-7481.aspx To put in base timing mode place a jumper between pins A and B on the DLC connector The rpms should increase when installed for setting...

    2006 Tahoe 190 4.3 engine

    While TKS carbs do have their issues, this statement tells me the mechanic is in name only, and really does not understand the issue. You can take a standard 2 barrel carb with electric choke and it will work fine (note the fine, it will only work fine provided it is setup correctly and there...

    3 battery isolator

    The DVSR or ACR (same thing for the most part) are one to one. To use this setup you would use 2 of them. That said, if a bat was drained to some extent the ALT would not be able to totally recharge the bat using your current setup. If the motor run long enough then the recharge would...

    3 battery isolator

    The changer is for shore power, IF it is installed. Not knowing what you have but most have the typical 1, 2 ALL and OFF switch. So yours would be more like this other one. I would suggest using automatic charge relays (ACR) over an isolator, less issues. I just removed my 3 bank isolator...

    3 battery isolator

    Not the best method, but all it will take is installing a 3 bank isolator and add the new lead to the 3rd bat. Should install another switch
