    Does anyone know what the 2 pin sealed connectors Mercruiser uses on their wiring harnesses are?

    The ones with the 2 pins, and rubber gaskets that clip together, I need to replace a single one and would really rather like to avoid splicing if at all possible, but will if I have to. I have been looking for a source of them, but can't seem to find one.

    Mercruiser 3.0 wants to die only at 1800 RPM

    I have a new 2019 long block with 150 compression across all the cylinders, and a brand new fuel filter in the pump. It was built up from a blown up 2008 3.0 TKS, so long block replacement, toss all the old parts on the new engine, so the carb is definitely original, and it shows signs of being...

    First the question, let's say I want to delete on the speedometer hose is there a plug I can put in the transom assembly from inside the boat? I have a GPS speedometer and would like to just delete this whole tube. And here is the story of a man who finished up a transom refresh, after many...

    Mercruiser 3.0L Overheated What to Look Out For?

I guess on the muffs there wasn't enough water coming in, misaligned muffs, or something else, that I wasn't getting enough water to the impeller while...

    Ran with missing quad ring, should I expect problems?

    Let's say I did the big stupid and didn't have a quad ring installed after a water pump refresh, because it fell on the garage floor while I was putting the drive back together and ran the outdrive pretty hard over the weekend with 2 hours of tubing and probably a solid 6 hours of trolling while...

    Is it possible to delete the power steering in a 3.0L Alpha One Gen II?

    It's a 3.0L TKS from 2009, it's a gen 2 alpha one. It doesn't need power steering at all in my opinion, and I know that it doesn't because my power steering system leaks a quart of fluid an hour, so most of the time it gets used without power steering apparently. Is it safe to run...
