    Mercruiser 230 pumping water into bilge. Please help

    It looks to me to be the speedometer hole. Only issue is it might only leak when in gear going forward, it might not leak when just running.

    Mercarb question

    The pic below is for a Rochester but the workings are the same. The ball below the accelerator pump allows fuel to come in but not out. The one under the venturi does the same thing. Accelerator pump sucks fuel in when throttle is released to idle, the venturi one keeps air from being sucked...

    zinc anode in exhaust mannifold

    The manifolds are not as anodic then other metals on the motor. In short the aluminum drive will fail before the manifolds do to galvanic corrosion. In the table below note that cast iron on the left side come into being more anodic when placed to stainless. The aluminum is far more attracted...

    Mercruiser overheat

    OK that clears up the hose issue. There is a flow issue, so if the impeller is good we need to look at anything which can cause the restriction of flow. The gasket in your pic shows 4 long holes. The Mercruiser part number for the gasket should be 27-863724. This gasket has 2 large and 2...

    Mercruiser overheat

    With only 4 hoses then your motor should be a 1996 or newer and have a thermostat housing like this one If this is the case then you may have a restriction between the thermostat housing, hose, exhaust manifold and the riser. It might be the gasket between the two

    Mercruiser overheat

    In your first post you mentioned And English not being your first language I'm just trying to understand your issue before making a comment. Your boat is a 1996 but appears your motor s are 1995 or older. I make this assumption because of your pic. The pic shows the older style thermostat...

    TKS system ~ Rough idle

    Howdy Check the diode in the harness. If the diode is open it will be hard to the engine to start when warm because it is getting to much fuel. Try this and let us know if this worked

    Starter

    Don't see the starter going out. The Ford 888 has a different wiring system but the basics are simple. The key turns to start which applies power to the yellow wire. The yellow wire energizes the starter solenoid at which applies power to the starter So you turn the key and it does...

    2002 Bayliner 2855 - MerCruiser 350 Mag Bravo 3 diagnostics package

    I would know better if I knew the engine serial number, but being the boat is a 2002, I'm assuming it would be a 555 ECM. The ECM is the one on the right If this is the case then there should be a 10 pin connector similar to this one on top the motor. This is a pic from an outboard, but...

    2002 Bayliner 2855 - MerCruiser 350 Mag Bravo 3 diagnostics package

    Howdy The thing with the 555 ECM is there are many things which can cause similar issues. Best way to fin out what is happening is to read the smartcraft gauge (if available) or have the engine scanned for codes. The list below shows all the possibilities. The one which gives most issue is...

    2005 mastercraft with indmar 8100 vortech no power in geat

    Water and electronics is never a good thing, even more so if it was salt water. How deep was the water? Does the motor make any beeps when the key is first turned ON, or other times while running? There are two position sensors, a crankshaft and camshaft sensor. The two sensors tells the ECM...

    BRAVO-ITIS Fix

    Replacing my pretty much everything rubber and plastic on my Rinker after 21 years, and decided to install the fix for Bravoitis. I didn't have an issue being in fresh water, but for those who boat in salt water, sooner of later this will probably be needed. No pics for disassembly, just the...
