    Hot water heater

    It looks like there link for pictures works? There was only one line to change out on the faucet and the pump so that should be good. Since I'm coolant closed, if the heater exchanger in the tank was bad and pressurizing the system, I'd have coolant in the system right? The only thing I can...

    Hot water heater

    If that works...yes I believe that is a winter valve- also reading a good point for water to overwhelm old seals. No other visable check valve ... also, it only happens when the engine is up to temp.

    Hot water heater

    Thanks- if see i can't post pictures. The wall mounted pump only receives cold water from the tank itself- check that box. I'm looking at the pictures..feed from the tank to the pump- then the outlet looks like it's goes to the heater as a blue pipe- there is 3 way juncture and a blue pipe goes...

    Hot water heater

    So I finally got back to boat. Here are pictures of the set up. I replaced the pump as mentioned but there is no hot water line going through that pump so I have no clue what is going on! I've attached pictures but I'm also getting error messages on the upload. How foes the hot water get...

    Hot water heater

    I have a rinker 270 with the 350 mpi. Nice little mini cruiser. It has a hot water heater that runs on shore power but is also warmed by engine coolant, I think.. The motor is a closed system and is a 2006 boat. I recently replaced the fresh water pump and also a faucet that is in a small sink...

    Sseveral issues all at once!

    I will see if I can rig up a fuel pressure gauge- I assume the fuel pressure is a constant and what goes through the fuel rail is regulated? The pump I replaced is connected to a line going into the fuel filter so I guess that is the boost pump and not the high pressure pump- it just stops...

    Sseveral issues all at once!

    @alldodge thanks for the reply- so when I push the mercuiser down it does zip- no rpm's- like you did not do anything. So I got the boat out by myself for a couple of hours- same program except when I put the throttle down, it went like normal. Ran across the lake waiting for it- never...

    Sseveral issues all at once!

    Isn't that the way? Boating not for the faint of heart unless you are rich- I'm not. 2006 350 mpi/bravo III. Around 350 hours, 270 Rinker. It does not get run as it should, but has been running nice- and everything else- but then it does not. Replaced plugs,cap and router probably 30 hours ago...

    Hurricane Helene

    I'm in Central FL- barley hot any rain, had some strong wind late evening but that's about it. They were predicting much higher wind but it just did not happen.

    Yes, some crack head tried to steal all the gauge and switch panels- it was a mess to get straight.

    Water plumbing system

    Our express cruiser has a water system for sinks/little shower etc...stopped working. Pump is probably 4 years old, not used heavily. I turned the switch on and probed the two wires going into the pump and does not seem to be getting power. I pulled the panel off and oh my- I expected a simple...

    Hurricane Helene

    Hey @alldodge - I'm in Central Florida a little North of Orlando. I did not realize you were so close- you can just come over with your newbox next time I need help! We have had little from the storm- supposed to get some bands/wind later this evening...around 6 pm now. That armpit of fl is...

    Starter?

    So...after replacing my start battery, everything works as it should. Even took down to the ramp and barely even heard the starter before is was running smoothly. Did find one interesting "junction box" of sorts I don't see in any of the manuals. I'm fresh water cooled, lots of hoses on the top...

    Starter?

    I did get a manual so I can see everything in the starter circuit. Big help for sure. Only issue I see is, the wiring shows a red coming off the same post as the battery feed picture above going to a "circuit breaker" which I assume is the breaker on top of the motor with the red button...

I really need a good wiring diagram so I can understand a little better the merc engine wiring /along with the help from Chris and others. I probably have very basic...

    Manuals for 5.7

    Thank Scott- I looked over the merc stuff- I'm remembering years ago Chiltons was the go to for service manuals which had lots of instructional / troubleshooting info- are the merc manuals for the home warriors trying to figure out a problem or more for a mechanic that's had the training and...
