    Diagnostic confirmation please

    With the 3 point system you don't have the check balls (7 point) in the lines feeding the exhaust, but you do have the dreaded single main drain and the Tee fittings. The pic below shows where issues have come up from other times which cause issues. You mentioned replacing everything so you...

    4.3lx brass float measurements

    If this is a Q-jet its a tad more then 1/4 inch (really 3/16 in most cases). Reason for using a tad more is due to up/down and banking of the boat. Doesn't matter if the float is brass or composite. The bass float needs to make sure there isn't a hole/crack in it. Most those come in where its...

    How to support 1988 Merc 5.7L Mag on wood while replacing the coupler?

    I used chains for years until last year when I had my motor built. The builder says they always use 1 inch lifting straps under the exhaust manifolds. So I tried it and it did work very well, so I'll be don't it from now on that way.

    OMC Wiring Please Help!

    Sure looks like you have a medal of a hess To go from three to one wire, just disconnect the purple and sense leads and connect output power lead direct to the starter post or positive battery terminal. This does not make sense to my small mind. If you do not have the solenoid then you...

    1986 Larson Senza Tilt will go down but not up - How to troubleshoot and fix

    This means either your trim limit switch has gone bad, the switch in the throttle handle is bad, or the wiring going to the trim limit switch is bad. Being a 1986, my guess is the limit switch on the drive (starboard side). Here is the wiring diagram, note the Blue/white and Purple/white wires

    Upgrade to Dual alternator on Mercruiser, Bad Idea?

    RT your link is for a standard single three wire ALT install. The light is there so it the ALT shorts out then there is a ground and the light will light. This is the setup for just about all boats other then the light. I thought you would show us how your Trucks and tractors were wired up...

    Shinny Pretty Lights and Gadgets

    It all started with wanting to redesign my helm. I don't need the speed-o, use the gps. Like the idea of moving some of the gauges into a large screen. The good thing is mine is a single engine so I have room. My gps is the 536s (just looked it up) and does a nice with chart plot, speed and...

    Shinny Pretty Lights and Gadgets

    Blower, bilge and trim all stopped working at once

    This is the trim limit switch. The drawing below is simplistic but the Blue/White and Purple/White at the pump go to those wires. It also doesn't matter which one goes to which

    Hydrofoil Question

    Howdy Never used or seen anyone use the one your looking at. There are many styles and most of the semi soft ones will not help anything, only create more drag. I installed this one on my Rinker when it was about a year old. Had to drill four holes and it allows the boat to plane at lower...

    Trim switch replacement 88688A25 - A27

    Trying to figure out how to get the cover (item 5) off the trim switch (item 4) so I can replace it. Tried a little screw driver, a little channel locks and so far nothing. Could squeeze down hard but might break it. Already bought the switch, and should be simple if the cover will come off. Who...

    TNT relay assy question..

    Hi bob, ya know you should start a new thread. But to answer the question, what you have above is in the pic below and using the standard sealed relays. Relays are relays and most all work the same why, they just have larger or smaller contacts. The larger contacts (such as with trim pump...
