    Penta V6-280 alarm in with DTCs 1155 and 1157

    1998 Mercruiser 5.7 TBI Backfiring Under Load & Loss of Power

    From the description it also sounds like you really need to know if the engine internals are in good condition (or not) before just putting a bunch of new outside engine parts in place... such as performing an compression test, leak down test, vacuum test, borescope inspection to each cylinder...

    2007 4.3L Mercruiser Engine MPI Alarm

    Though the oil temp reads 32, there isn’t (shouldn’t be) an oil temp sensor from new to that generally a 32 reading is a unplugged default setting for certain sensor options and is usually considered ignored within the ECM to not sound a warning horn of those preset options.

    2011 bayliner flight series

    Is the engine fuel injected or carbureted? If carbureted then the crank sensor isn't used but comes with the engine used more so as an oil plug at the front cover...Either way, the engine would spin over while cranking the engine over to start but the engine wouldn't start up and run if the...

    Random temperature spike

    What stern drive model do you have? Often one of the usual suspects to consider checking on the Volvo drive of what I believe to be your type model is the water rubber seals found in between the upper and lower stern drive housing as they age out they start to allow air to get in the water flow...

    No, there's no fault code for a cooler running engine that is still within a programed temp range...
