    2010 Mercruiser 8.2mag goes into limp mode

    My boat accelerates perfectly but after a few moments, the alarm sounds and it goes in to limp mode. Unfortunately it is impossible to read the smartcraft information in the sun. It does tell me that it is in reduced power mode but doesnt tell my why. The only thing i notice is the oil...

    I recently had to replace the tube that runs from the sterndrive to fitting in the transom, along with the fitting itself. The fitting cracked and oil was leaking. Fortunately i was able to do this without removing the outdrive. I had a very small amount of water in the outdrive (cloudy oil)...

    Volvo 8.1 DPS outdrive

    Several years ago i purchased this 07 Chaparral 256ssi. The motor blew 6 months later and it was rebuilt. This whole history is pretty much contained in the link below. I no longer have access to that email account so i had to create a new account here. My previous posts on this boat can be...
