I'm hell bent on doing my own repairs....started the boat after winter and have the below issues. Looking for suggestions on what to check I will then use google and you tube and come back if I cannot fix it. 2002 bayliner 212 5.0 merc
Problem 1: took a bit to start but it did with some throttle juggling. There is a hiss when running....I do not recall it last year and it persisted throughout the day. Coming from below spark arrester and towards stern of engine. So far I've read it could be IAC, spark arrester not tight, power steering fluid (hose), vacuum leak, TKS. Any other ideas? Constant hiss engine sounds and runs good.
Problem 2: engine takes some running to not stall at idle. Once at idle it revs on its own occasionally (not real high rpm) but noticeable and random? Ideas?
Problem 3: ran the boat constant for about 20 minutes and became worried about the sounds decided to turn back. One the way back I saw the temp gauge jump up. I shut it down immediately. The engine did not die right away but sputtered for 2 seconds. We floated around for 20 minutes I could not see any obvious problem. Decided to start the boat. It ran like a champ but I didn't let it run more than 3 minutes in several interval s getting back. No problems the recast of the day but I'm sure this wasn't a fluke. What should I Check? Thoughts?
