    my guess you bought the boat from johnny 12pack and he did his own maintenance and dropped the church key while putting the motor back in

    2004 Merc 2 stroke 90HP seized after rebuild

    did you thoroughly clean the block after getting it from the machine shop? or just get it and start assembling? Normally it takes about 25 minutes of washing going into each and every passage with pressurized water, dawn dish soap and a variety of scrub brushes and pipe cleaners.

    Totally baffling !!! Impeller replaced !! And not pumping

    stop trying to pump water from a tote. if it works, you are lucky. these pumps are flood to prime, meaning the water level must be 6" or more above the impeller or use muffs. to get water 6" or more above the impeller, the boat must be in a tote big enough to get the drives submerged.

    1995 OMC Overheating

    That pump is what pumps cooling water. So fix the pump, find all the pieces of the damaged impeller and replace all the rubber bits in your exhaust system that you burned up with no water. Hope you are not trying to run the motor in a bucket. Always use muffs or launch the boat

    5.7 Vortec Runs Great On Land but Bogs Under Load in Water

    Regarding the 1409 Edelbrock Do not use more than 6.5 PSI fuel pressure. Excessive fuel pressure may cause flooding. If your fuel pressure is too high, install an adjustable pressure regulator, such as Edelbrock #8190.

    Mercrusier 350 MAG MPI - RPM issue under a load

    Simple math would say 4+24=28 Not sure why you would set your base timing low at 4 Plus the 350 mag MPI should have a specific timing setup procedure in the Mercruiser manual
