Those drives have a hole near the bottom front of the drive that you need to plug before running on muffs. You likely had water coming out of it when you turned on the water. Be prepared to replace your water pump impeller now.

There is no current flowing in the circuit. You will not have any voltage drops from resistance. You can have tons of resistance and it won't matter. We would often have voltage monitoring ports on circuits through 10K resistors!!

Here is the SOC vs voltage measured with no load at rest

Just but a short piece of hose that has a female and male ends on it and then attach that to your pump. Or just make a piece of hose and put your own ends on it. I use this style. It has a short piece of garden type hose that I can screw onto the dipstick...

Because then the speed of the boat forces the water up the inlet hose. Not even an issue once the boat is on plane. I have two friends that had Cobra leaks at the shaft that drives the water pump impeller. It happens. Volvo decided to abandon that idea for a reason. There were people on here...

The water pump in both the Mercruiser Bravo Drive and the Volvo drives are below the water line. There is NO pumping UP to either of the input of those pumps. There is a reason Volvo eliminated the impeller on the drive like the Cobra had when Volvo did the joint venture. It's a poor design...

First off...since when does a 4.3l have coil packs? You mean the coil itself? Replace the distributor cap and rotor. Do not try to clean. What do the plugs look like? A coil can get damaged when the spark has no where to go. That means distributor, rotor, wires and plugs can cause a coil to be...

And...you don't need to pull the whole drive...just the upper drive housing.

No gasket sealer needed. Torque per the spec in the manual.

Agree...why would anyone put a smaller diameter hose down the tube when it has the garden hose fitting and a larger diameter tube? I can dump the 8 qts from the pan in my 7.4l in hardly any time at all with the garden hose adapter and my power pump.

They gave the game away going for 4th down 3 times when they should have punted. Chip Kelly play calls always kill them

The switches all get a ground to allow the switch to light. The output of the switch is what goes to the positive side of the light. If the rocker switches that are turned off, have their indicator lights turn on, that's a sneak path to ground through the light.

Somebody had to win.

My bet is you have one or more bad grounds and you are picking up a sneak path ground through some of the indicator lights.

No idea about the exhaust manifolds. Vortec engines in GM vehicles came out in 96 but the marine industry didn't get them until the following year.

A 96 boat likely doesn't have a Vortec Head and associated intake manifold. At least on Volvo, they didn't have Vortec until the LK model which was 97. Even then, an LK model may even be in a 98 boat. Mine is a perfect example of that.

It's too allow you to drain the system by just attaching a bicycle pump. I know because I just bought a 2017 Mercruiser powered boat and was perusing the service manual for it last night. Mine is raw water cooled. Not a big deal to me. Volvo has an almost identical type setup although their's...

My current Volvo has the oil filter mounted upright so there is little oil leakage. However I just bought a 2017 6.2L 350HP Mercruiser and will be doing an oil change on it soon. I like the idea of punching the hole. Makes perfect sense as long as there is no anti drainback valve that prevents...

My new to me Cobalt I am buying has it. If it don't come with it I was planning on putting it in. Right now, its just on the swim step but may have it go all the way to the bow eventually.

I use that same thing. Every one of my trailers gets converted to a 7 pin connector. The 4 pin connectors suck.
