    Apparent low oil pressure after coming off plane

    Good question, texting my mechanic now. What oil SHOULD have been used? I will take a trip down there to try to look for the pressure switch again.

    Apparent low oil pressure after coming off plane

    I have a new to me boat that has a 6.2L MX MPI Mercruiser engine. Upon a cold start, the oil pressure gauge shows 35-38PSI. Once warmed up, it settles at about 20PSI. I cruise at about 3500RPM, and while cruising, oil pressure reflects 30-35PSI. However, I noticed when I get off plane when...

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    Thank you. Do you happen to have the ability to screenshot the diagram of how it should be routed so I can verify?

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    I will check and report back. Just to confirm I am understanding this test here, I am to remove the lower shift cable arm from the bracket, then pull/push it with two fingers, and it should move like butter, correct?

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    Roger that about the Bravo ECU. Could you clarify your latter point about the dragging. Are you saying the lower shift cable is likely dragging/has resistance, and likely holding the switch down for longer than necessary?

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    I believe it’s using an Alpha ECU, but will have to double check. I believe it is wired to ground the coil per this screenshot’s instructions.

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    Same mechanic that installed the transom plate, gimble and engine. The cable is SEI. Where should I be checking for binding?

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    Will do. I can do that in the water, correct? If there is, what is the solution? I would be surprised because the lower cable is brand new.

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    I will check to make sure the distance from Barrel to Eye is 6 inches.

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    Maybe I should try loosening the screws and moving the switch a bit back from the activating lever?

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    Not shifting slow See the image below (found it online) of what my switch mount looks like. Are you referring to the two screws holding it in?

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    How do you adjust the switch? I only see two screws holding it in place. Its the plunger type switch, not the roller one

    6.2L MX MPI Stalls when shifting out of gear

    At the beginning of the season, I had my boat re-powered with a used 6.2L MX MPI engine. Part of this was also a new transom plate, gimbal, lower unit shift cable and bellows. However, a problem I have been running into is that the engine stalls about 75% of the time when shifting from gear into...

    Problems starting after fuel filter/water separator change

    One thing that I did notice last time I was down at the boat is that while cranking, the Tach goes crazy. Not sure if that is relevant
