    Mercruiser - Stalls in Reverse

    I had the cable(s) replaced either when I had my transom redone in 2018.. or when my engine blew in 2020... so they are not that old. I only ran the motor and engaged the prop a for maybe 30 seconds in forward and in reverse to ensure the prop engaged.. probably no harm done. -ND

    Mercruiser - Stalls in Reverse

    Yep! That was one thing the video left out.. the position of the outdrive has to be down.. mine was all the way up in the trailer position! I'm guessing it could have been a combination of the lack of use.. and the drive being in the upwards position... Hopefully this information can help the...

    Mercruiser - Stalls in Reverse

    That is why this is totally weird... Its not under load (on muffs) and running in my driveway. Other than getting a barrel or something.. I'm not sure if I can simulate the prop being under load... When I slowly shift into forward.. I do not see the wheel move at all. When I put in full...

    Mercruiser - Stalls in Reverse

    Hello. The engine no longer stalls immediately in reverse after I adjusted the shift cable. It now only stalls when I go towards WOT in reverse. That extra distance on the cable is enough to activate the kill switch.

    Mercruiser - Stalls in Reverse

    Hello.. having an issue with my 4.3 Merc with Alpha 1 I have watched all the videos I could find.. and read up on almost everything I could find as well. Not all the videos had provided the whole procedures.. I feel like things were left out. Does the outdrive have to be up or down? Where...

    Hydraulic Manifold and Anode Installation

    Oh - one more question... Can I reuse the 12077 plug? The one I had in there was maybe 2-3 years old. I was able to get the old one out.. it was a pain.. but its in good shape. Thanks!
