    Smoking Engine and Mercruiser ignition switch question

    In your photo I can see at least 4 screws and one through bolt /nut holding the white base down around the engine compartment/bilge area but there's probably a few more...If you can get the base out and undue the hatch lift air shocks, I think you'd probably be a little bit surprised at the...

Could also try pushing in the center throttle only button, 'open the...

    4.3 MPI Crank No Start / No Spark

    I don’t have full access to the manual but I had a quick glimpse at another service manual before my laptop battery died that had the splice numbers in it and I Believe 105 may go to the main power relay so if that is correct then possibly when you turn the key on, you may get power for a little...

    4.3 MPI Crank No Start / No Spark

    4.3 MPI Crank No Start / No Spark

    Your serial number appears to be missing one number possibly in near the beginning sequence as adding a number to the end suggests the engine to be a 350MPI engine model...Also wondering if the stern drive was Alpha or Bravo model as the Alpha has a shift interrupter switch that might be...

    Smoking Engine and Mercruiser ignition switch question

    Alpha one gen 2 transom to outdrive gear lube hose

    What year? The length for the older (beginning) bravo drives was once listed at 9.5 inches but of course measure your old one to be sure and buy a bit longer to ensure you have enough… if you buy it online from a Merc dealer, etc, then I believe you’ll only be able to buy it in bulk but if you...
