    Engine runs perfectly for 30 minutes + then dies with no dash power

    Update: found the smoking gun. The red/purple ring terminal connector at the 90 amp fuse block at the starter was intermittent. My pulling on the battery cable was moving the loose solenoid which was wiggling the loose connection in the red/purple ring terminal. My battery cable was fine...

    Engine runs perfectly for 30 minutes + then dies with no dash power

    During the fail time, the orange wire at the alternator is testing 12+V’s…the same as the battery. Everything else is dead.

    Engine runs perfectly for 30 minutes + then dies with no dash power

    Today in my testing I got the engine to fail Several times. Initially it took 10 minutes running to go dead. After a few minutes it energized itself for a few minutes of run time. The only consistent way to make it run/energize or fail is tugging on the battery cable at the starter. That...

    Engine runs perfectly for 30 minutes + then dies with no dash power

    Thanks for the suggestions. My original guess is a temp related ignition item like an overheated coil or my ECM going bad. I was unaware that a bad battery connection +/- could cause my symptoms as I assumed the alternator would keep engine running. Next up is for me to get engine to fail and...

    Engine runs perfectly for 30 minutes + then dies with no dash power

    ‘01 6.2L MPI MX. The engine 2X’s recently has run perfectly for over 30+ minutes. Suddenly it’ll stumble with an audible horn alarm, then pickup and run normally for a second ( no horn) then completely die w/o horn. I’ll have no power to the dash at all. Battery still works as trim works and...

    Transom re-assembly in progress. Steering arm face up or down?

    I searched here and pored over manual. I’ve a Bravo 1 on my 2001 searay. I didn’t take enough pics to determine if the new steering arm faces up or down. Attached is a pic of what I think is right. Please advise Go/NoGo Thx

    01 SeaRay 6.2 MPI intermittent no crank no start

    Checking back in: problem found. The battery cable to starter solenoid wasn’t even finger tight. The zip ties holding the cable were about the only thing keeping contact.

    01 SeaRay 6.2 MPI intermittent no crank no start

    I’ve an intermittent starting issue that’s got me baffled. Turn battery master on, then key on yielding nothing: no power to the dashboard, no electrical up front, no crank, no initial beep in dash, dead everywhere. This 1st happened 3.1.23 and the only time I could get it to “switch on”...

    6.2 fuel pressure value needed

    I’ve a ‘01 Searay with a 6.2L with s/n 0M065176. I’m chasing an intermittent problem while running where engine just shuts off, but immediately restarts and runs fine the rest of the day. It’s happened last season a few times. My fuel rail pressure is about 12 psi. What is the value for this...

    Losing a cylinder intermittently ‘86 50hp

    After 1 hr run time @4500 rpm in 75degF weather and 55degF water temps, the engine runs much better. Coming out of the hole both cylinders firing now, but the engine certainly has a sweet spot in Rpms before it sounds and feels happy. IMO, my jetting is suspect for lower temps in the Low Speed...

    My compression results were both cylinders were 140 psi. I’m about to go burn some gas through it and see if anything has changed since it’s warmer now.
