    Neptune EX120 trolling motor - Forward & Off but no reverse

    I'll draw something up but the Red and the Black main wires should be on the COM (common) of each relay. The reason I'm thinking it works at all is because the Red wire is on one of the contacts, and the ground is on the com. Move the main wires to the places I pointed out and try it. If my...

    Remove the wire off the sender and with an ohm meter measure the resistance. If the resistance is off from what is shown, remove sender and put in a pan of water and retest.

    Mercruiser alpha one drive zooming noise when turning

    If they did do an alignment (which they should have) then the engine coupler would not be the issue. If they did replace the gimbal bearing and U-joints, and did a quality job rebuilding the drive, then there should be no vibration. The guys over in your area either don't know how to fix a...

    72 Thunderbird Formula w/twin 165hp Mercs

    Holley recommends to put them at or below the tank exit to put less strain on the pumps. The pumps go after the water separator filter, which can be higher but again low is better. Basically after the filter and pump are full of fuel there won't be much of a lift problem for the pump do to...

    Torsional damper tempval

    From your pic it kind of seams t me you got a little frustrated. The hole in the bottom will need to be sealed up, was it drilled or punched? I have in many cases drilled a small hole in the seal edge and screw in a screw and use a pry tool or slide hammer. To reinstall, it needs to be kept...

    Mercruiser carb backfire and fuel pump issues

    Howdy Your fuel pump should not run in the ON position "until" the key is turned to START. After the motor starts and the oil pressure increases enough to close the oil pressure switch, then the pump will run in the ON position. To check your pump you need to remove the fuel line feeding the...

    Overheating 2001 Mercruiser 5.0

    You can have two clog points, the power steering cooler and cool fuel. The PS cooler is the one which would clog up first with pieces of the impeller or other items. Take the hose off the power steering cooler on the back of the motor. Look inside the cooler and see if any pieces are in there.

    My first experience with hydrolock

    This is how the wires should be connected, and note normally the orange wire is connected to the 90 amp fuse instead of the starter terminal to protect it
