    add a battery ,ignition problem

    This makes me think you have TWO battery switches installed, one Perko and one Blue Sea. So when you turn this switch to ON, everything is turned on, correct If this is the case then I'm guessing your feeding your key switch on the Purple wire and not the Red or Red/Purple

    What thickness starboard for binnacle control mounting plate? 1/4", 3/8" or 1/2"? 3/4"?

    You have same control as mine I would use 1/4 and at least three layers of glass, or 3/8 and at least two layers of glass. Going thicker will work but then you need to make sure there is room to get full throw of the levers

    Howdy When you turn the key you should hear 2-beeps. If no beeps are heard then your not getting power the ECM. Do you hear the beeps? Do you hear the fuel pump turn on for 2 to 3 seconds? If this is the case need to see if your getting 12V on the purple wire on the key switch. If you get...

    Intermittent Over Heating Issues - 2008 5.0 Mercruiser

    I would start pulling hoses, check the power steering cooler and back flush the hoses. If all check out, next pull the fitting off the transom assembly to check for Bravoits. This is where the line coming from the drive shrinks due to the line swelling. Will look something like this

    Volvo Penta 4.3 carb revving high after a run

    Recon I would put a vacuum gauge on it to see what's going on. Still strange that it only revs higher after a run. Is the carb a Holley?

    1989 MERCRUISER 4.3 V6 WONT SPARK

    Howdy snipesvi You provide some good info, but it sure was hard to read. Try less capital letters and maybe hit the return a bit more. In any case, The TB-4 and 5 troubleshooting guide should have found the issue. Below is the guide for the TB-V but is also for the TB-IV. The Wht/Red wire...

    building my own anchor pulpit

    Pics always work best, and being that there are several different sizes I'm guessing it is around the 27 foot range. Something like this I would think that it will take some reinforcement of the deck under it. Won't be able to just put screws thru the deck, they need to go into something...

    How to Repair Cool Fuel stud

    Wound up using a SS bolt on my tapped hole from the top. Nut on one side and bolt on the other. All went back together fairly easy. Last note for those who reinstall the fuel line in the pump which does not use threads, but only O-rings. The hose just slides in and then a special screw...

    Beaching with Manual Tilt/Trim

    Assuming outboards, I would get an outboard motor tilt assist bar. Attach to the motor and be ready to lift. Come in nice and slow with just enough momentum to bring the keel in. Shut the motor off as it continues to ease in, then have another pull the motor up.

    Two battery switches

    If it is connected as you say then you are correct. Sounds like you need three batteries, which includes one house bat. Then add a switch to combine the house and start incase it is needed to start the motor. This is a simple for one engine and two batteries. See if I can gen up what I'm...

    Mercruiser drive vs. SEI

    Merc will not pay to remove and install a drive that needs work unless bought from and installed by a dealer. Case in point bought new B3XR drive from dealer in another state and had it shipped to me. After install and before use, the drive started leaking at the prop shaft. Merc agreed to...
