    Mercruiser 5.7L Closed Cooling

    Something didn't sound right about not having the hose. The hose should be there and uses a NPT to barbed fitting. This is a marine intake shows the opening on the left side besides the thermostat opening

    Mercruiser 5.7L Closed Cooling

    As Scott mentioned your going to need a different thermostat housing. This one is for a GM 350 and includes an inboard transmission cooler. Note the cooling going to the exhaust elbows come from the heat exchanger separately. On this one there is a Tee fitting which takes a single out put...

    Tilt Push Button Question

    Here is the wiring diagram which shows the use of relays inline. By using relays there is very little current going across the contacts of the switch. So a light duty Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) momentary ON / OFF/ momentary ON (what your calling spring loaded toggle) switch will work. It...

    Water pressure sensor replacement

    The pressure sensor is located on the power steering cooler as Chris mentioned. If you do not have regular PS but have hydraulic steering, the cooler is replaced with a brass tube. The tube or cooler is on the back of the engine and the sensor is screwed into it. See item 39

    Volvo Penta Trin Gauges inaccurate after refit 5.0 OSI

    As a non-VP expert I'll supply the following: It's my understanding that VP with the DP drives started using digital gauges which required digital senders. The 3-wire sender varies resistance between 100 ohms and 800 to 1100 ohms, and 700 ohms steady when rotated and measured on the outer wires...

    Is it running hot or too hot

    Appears no where in the manual so far as temp or amount of water it should be putting out. Just says there should be a good steady stream or water. Did find a specification table listed below; provides pressure numbers but does not specify how to get the readings...

    Mercruiser 4.3L Alpha Gen 2 cold hard to start

    I think you have made a bad connection with your meter leads (+ or -) or you blew a fuse moving things around. If your engine will crank, the purple wire has 12V on it, or if you turn the key to ON and the alarm/buzzer sounds you have 12V on the purple wire. Below is the schematic

    1995 4.3 Lx coil

    With it back firing it's not the coil. The coil should be one which "does not" use and external resistor. The resistors were used with distributers using points. What is your engine serial number and do you know if you have a TB-4 or 5 ignition? Do you have an alpha/bravo drive or is the...

    best battery for a sound system

    I would stick with two batteries, one starting and one deep cycle. The standard 80amp alt will put out plenty to charge both batteries. The issue is AGM and Lead acid have different change rates and float levels. The AGM will charge faster then lead acid but this would not be a major issue...

    No, the ring is not removed. Look for the 2 screw holes behind the lock ring (actually called a retainer). The below image is not a Bravo but note the two screw holes

    Remote steer

    It's going to be costly unless you can figure out how to build something. Can get a stick steer system but they are 300 each new. http://stores.ebay.com/BoatStoreUSA/Stick-Steering-/_i.html?_fsub=6 Can get the electronic kits for around 400 but they are all built for 4 cycle...
