My son got me the Techmate Pro for Christmas. If he wasn’t 30 I’d ground him for spending his money so foolishly 😏 Actually I was really touched, it’s a very professional tool and it looks like Mercury uses the same thing with their name slapped on it. I’ve been scratching my head and straining...
I’ve got a Sea Ray 2007 Sundeck 240 w 350 mag mpi engine/bravo3 outdrive. ECM module is 0501, engine SN is OW665845. I’m looking for the DLC connector on the engine, just wondering where it’s located and the type of pin configuration.
Thanks
Thanks Kenny, that’s the direction I’m leaning. There’s a local machine shop that will rework the head for $350. The mechanic is familiar with the 470 and they do a lot of engine work so I’m pretty confident they’ll do a good job.
The water hose in the bell housing probably has ten years or...
A little more info, I just tried it at 2000 rpm, I’m able to almost completely stop the flow with my thumb. It does pump water through, almost a gallon in about thirty seconds
When I remove the hose from the heat exchanger inlet and put my thumb over it I get a little water squirting past my thumb, very similar to what you would have if you put your thumb over a garden hose. This is running at idle rpm
I have an old 470 which I’ve had since new, 39 years ago. It is overheating after running at cruising rpm, say 3500 or so after a few minutes. I’ve replaced the thermostat, sea water pump, and cleaned the heat exchanger. There is water flowing through the exhaust ports and exhaust at the bottom...
Make sure the gasket thickness at fuel pump mounting surface is the same as what was removed. If you aren’t sure, use a mercruiser gasket, that should have the correct thickness. Best thing is to check the fuel pressure if you can
Also this could be mechanical advance related, clean that up if...
Just an update, there was no filter on the fuel suction tube, but the tube appeared clean with no debris. I tried the timing light, but couldn’t find anything conclusive when the problem would occur. With the engine running, I checked my voltages again in the low tension coil circuit, I was only...
Great ideas, thanks! I just bypassed the resistive wire with a resistor and there was no change. I’ll double check with a voltmeter as suggested and I think I’ll try to start it with the starting wire to the coil removed, then run it and see if that changes anything
I’ll try the timing light as...
I have a 1985 Searay with an I/O 470, mercruiser 2bbl (170). I installed a SEI 106 out drive about 20 hours ago, last November. The boat start and runs well cold or warm. It accelerates smoothly and idles just fine, shifting seems to working well. After about 15 to 20 minutes at cruising speed...
On or off the drive needs to be in forward so the the shift shaft will slide in or out of the shoe in the bell housing. You may have gotten lucky. it’s easy to have a brain fart in the heat of battle, I’ve come close to making that mistake myself.
