    Mercruiser 7.4MPI Stuttering/Skipping after long runs

    Just trying to get a thought of where the motor maintenance is. I replaced the plugs, cap, rotor in my 21 year old Rinker two years ago for the first time and had no change. Did it just because. I think of the cap and other items because your having issues and because the cap and other items...

    Starboard Engine Cutting out above 3000 RPM

    I'm thinking you may have a loose connection. Watching the vid I see the sync gauge deflect, also note it looks like the oil pressure gauge is about pegged. From this angle the rpm gauges don't appear to move much as the sync gauge does. Starboard tank is full and port is about half, engines...

    Things don't add up, you disconnected one side of the interrupter switch and connected the plug and the motor died or would not start. Then it does run connected but dies when shifting into reverse. If the plugs in and you can get it to start and run but fie when going into gear then its the...

    how to correctly daisy chain grounds under console for 1979 Ranger boat

    For grounds on gauges just go from one gauge to another. Its always good practice to install a negative buss when several connections are needed. Most power should come from the battery (+ & -) using 10 awg wire. Here is pic of typical install using Blue sea equipment.

    Mercruiser 6.2L 383 MAG Bravo II, Runs Rough, Guardian activated

    This is probably right but I'm not seeing the location from this pic It should be here and with both pumps barely pumping, I would start looking for a restriction in the tank pickup tube, collapsing fuel line or other restriction Just for clarification the high pressure test should go here

    2007 Mercruiser 496 HO Mag ignition issue

    I know your right (always are) FT but I'm still going to scratch my head on this one. The pic posted above came from manual 33, and the pic below also comes from the same manual. Both list the slave solenoid and the link you posted shows the relays for digital shift, main power and fuel pump...

    5.0L OMC won't plane, but reaching full RPMs

    This sounds like the fuel pump, clogged fuel filter or other restriction. Checking the fuel pressure would need to get an adapter to screw into the crab from the local auto store. Then make up a Tee with fuel line and adapter and attach to a vacuum fuel pump tester. Pressure should be 4 to 7 psi...

    Mercruiser 5.7 MPI Cooling System Won't Exhaust Water

    With exhaust staying cool now, I would lean toward the circulating water pump. The motor is getting water something is just not getting cool water into the block. So if the thermostat is installed correctly (including sleeve item 6), its about the only item left.

    I'm not a VP expert but looking at the manual all it says is to place the pulley on, then install the pump and torque bolts 25-29 ft lb. So I would install the impeller and use glycerin or I use soap. Install new shaft seal on backing plate/bearing with lip facing inward. Install o-ring on...

    2001 5.7L Mercruiser misfires around 3200 rpm when decelerating under load

    Without using a scanner you can use a paper clip and put it between A and B on the DLC connector. On another note, if you get an LED with a built in resistor, you can find out if there are any codes but counting the flashes. If you see 14 then there are no codes and your good. 14 = flash...
