I have two black wires (male and female) from my factory wire harness. Swapped the motor to the same 4.3 since my old block was cracked. I’m not sure where these are from or where they go. I do however remember unplugging them from my older engine but this one doesn’t appear to have any place...
Just to update this thread.. I ended up finding a used motor and already removed the old one and planning to drop this new one in the boat this week. Thanks again guys for all your help. I just want to be on the water again.
Long story but cracked block on old motor and finally found a new one. He bought it rebuilt with vortec heads as a remanufactured motor from quicksilver in 2011.
here’s my question, my current setup is a 1992 Searay with a 4.3lx (non-vortec) with an Alpha 1 Gen 2 drive. He has the motor in a...

I’ll try to keep it short for you guys, trying to figure out what happened. Motor somehow over heated when my buddy took it to the local store on the water and we towed it back, let it cool, and then fired it up. I verified water was coming out of the tube by the back so I knew there was water...
Hey guys, have done lots of reading about people with similar issues and I've read the traditional cracked block, leaking exhaust manifolds/risers, blown head gasket, etc... Well before I made this post I tried to narrow it down as much as possible for you guys and did lots of digging into it...
Alpha Gen 2. More "clunk" then "click" when spinning prop by hand???
Hi Guys,
Long story short, two years ago I shredded the gears in my upper unit.
This past week I managed to finally get around to buying a new one ("new" as in good used) and bolted the new top half to my old lower which we...
Hey guys,
I was recently having issues with my 15hp Johnson. It would sputter at high rpm above 3/4 throttle, and idle perfectly. So I decided to do what lots of people suggested, which was clean the carb.
I took the carb apart and used brake cleaner, only on metallic components, and...
