    Mercury wear pads missing cause of vibration?

    The vibration is only when it’s in gear. Plugs and wires are all pretty new as well. Motor sounds good. I’ll check them anyway though.

    Mercury wear pads missing cause of vibration?

    So for the moment I’ve got everything working as it should on my boat. Merc 5.0 mpi with an alpha one gen 2 behind it. My question is that at low rpm in gear the boat has a slight vibration to it that goes away with a little more rpm. The drive is a new sei marine unit but I’m pretty sure it did...

    Where is this water coming from?

    I was advised to add some rtv sealant around the rubber stopper edge and reinstall the top cap By the tech guy at sei. Looks like it should be good to go. Thanks.

    Where is this water coming from?

    So I found another post on here from 2017 with the same problem and the fix was to pull the top cap and seal with FTv seal and around the hole with the plug in it. Someone also suggested removing the plug before sealing it all up. Does this sound like a good solution?

    Where is this water coming from?

    I pulled the drive back already to be sure the o ring was still in place. That’s all good. If you are referring to #16 in the diagram that is in place but possibly leaking from there? This is a new unit from sei with 0 hours on it so hopefully it’s not going to need to be sent back. Does water...

    Where is this water coming from?

    Pulled the top cover and there doesn’t appear to be any water in the drive oil. Guess I’m pulling it off tomorrow and checking it out. I’ll call sei as well. This is fresh out of the box so I’m hoping I did something dumb and can fix it myself

    Where is this water coming from?

    Coming out of the top cover. New upper unit. Just installed. Good flow through the motor but there’s water coming out of that top cover.

    This is what came out of mine. No glass but the rest looks the same. Came out in corroded pieces.

    Ignition wiring questions.

    I was testing for voltage above the fuse. Didn’t realize it was even down there. Had voltage at the alternator post and the breaker on top of the motor. Both the wires that come from the fuse. There is no continuity through the fuse now that I’ve got it off the starter. That’s why I’m confused.

    Ok. So now I’m at the 90 amp fuse. Pulled it off bc it was terribly corroded. Took it in the shop and cleaned it and tested it. No continuity. How could I have had voltage to the wires above it if it’s not showing any continuity. Any thoughts. I’m of course going to replace it before doing any...

    I’ve got a bay liner trophy from 1998 with the 5.0 mercruiser engine and alpha one drive. Just getting it going for the season and nothing at the key. Battery is tested and good. The kill switch seems to be good. I attempted to jump it and leave it disconnected since I didn’t know if it was a...

    5.0 mph belt routing

    Lol. I figured as much. As soon as I figure it out I’ll report back. Just needed the routing diagram to confirm I got that part right. Thanks.

    5.0 mph belt routing

    Yes. All the way. I’ve had this on and off a few times over the years. Other than the new alternator I can’t figure out what’s going on.
