    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    Or adding voltage when not supposed to.:unsure:🤷‍♂️ That's when in your case you'll want to compare the other engine to see if it's acting the same or not to see what direction you need to head.

    What is this? - found on SX-A outdrive

    The owner possibly or 2007 was right about the start of that speed O fitting of the SX_A so maybe the manufacturer / installer (or boat dealer too) didn't really know about it yet...Maybe...

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    Now test the other good engine to see if all the same happens. PS: In the diagram reference above regarding throttle demand vs coil packs, I see 4 (coils) 41 - 44 as coil packs to the right and 45 as T_D to the left. T_D heads to E-1, Bank C... Morning eyes maybe.:sleep::)

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    Lol,...There was a time when this was easy for me to help figure out...All Ted and AD are doing lately is making sure I myself don't buy anything "new" too. :D

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    No problem, next time you're in there try to take a peek. I'm thinking if the wire is orange then it's a stock set up and running down by/to the engine starter...If red then usually something aftermarket with an isolator of some sorts mounted elsewhere....Try to follow the wire just so you know...

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    One thought that comes to mind to consider trying as well would be while the relay is buzzing, start pulling one fuse at a time all over the engine to see if maybe one of them is back feeding but pull the Main relay fuse last if possible. Also is this happening when the boat's other house power...

    Did I use the wrong impeller kit? 😡

    Unless you needed a new impeller housing due to inner scratching grooves, etc., you are good using 8M0100526 kit as it's just a general repair kit. The kit ending in #Q05 is shown with both plates and gaskets that would fit either mercruiser alpha one gen ii drives and vazer drives and is of a...

    gear lube

    For what it's worth, there was a time where it was recommended to cover the drain plug screw with an black rtv type silicone to make the areas smooth so maybe it got covered up....In doing so it was theorized to create less air bubbles to the prop to help with performance but that mostly started...

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    At the moment I may have yours confused with alldodge...Were the batteries just ordered and installed new?...Plus wasn't recently an issue found with the battery switch and a new one put in? Or was that AD? The thicker wiring color coming of the back of the alternator, is it Orange or Red? Or...

    Quicksilver gimbal bearing dot alignment

    While my personal preference is to follow the book as much as possible as long as I believe it’s correct and I’m this case I do tend to personally ensure the bearing ends up in the 10 o’clock possession but in recent years past here on the forums, the bearing has been fully measured out and they...

    Trim Control Rubber Boot?

    Possibly either the trim handle button is sticking, or I've seen a few where the trim system wiring at/behind the shift control unit 'white wiring "plastic plug connector" was laying on the bottom submerged in water at times and had corroded out enough that the down wire was getting power in...

    Do you know if it is going down electrically powering up the pump or hydraulically such as maybe a leak someplace?

    Fresh Mercruiser swap. No power

    See post number 9 again for a bit of humor / worst case scenario. :) Always carry a test light in the car as it's an easier way to check fuses, etc. on the quick. :)
