I’m having a hard time finding anything called a switch contact to purchase. Is that something I could buy by itself, or would I need a whole new ignition switch?
I connected my batteries to a jump box after the boat was sitting for awhile, and the starter was working fine initially. Then it just clicked like the battery was low. I checked the voltage and it was 12.8 when key not turned and 12.6 when key turned. I connected my remote starter switch, and...
Sorry I haven’t gotten back to this, I’ve been away from the boat for awhile. I pulled the while starter out, and the starter is bad. Here’s a little more back story. There are quite a few problems, but I want to start with the electrical.
In the off season, I installed new to me exhaust...
I have a mercruiser serial number 0F598365 in a ‘96 Searay where the electrical isn’t reaching the panel. When I put a remote starter switch on the starter, I get one solid click, but the engine doesn’t turn. I have 2 batteries with fresh charges. I ran it for a couple hours today, but it died...
Are the $20/$30 thermometers on amazon any good, or should I opt for a better one? I don't have a lot of use for one outside of this. Where should I measure the temperature?
I don't think it's the power steering cooler. I'm pretty good about cleaning it out every year. I don't think there's much I can open on the heat exchanger. I've never cleaned out the seawater pump since I've owned the boat (2019), and I'm not sure if the previous owner did. I think that's my...
My Mercruiser 5.7L MCM SN 0F598365 got a little hot this summer most of the times I ran it. It never overheated, but it was definitely in the hot range. I have a closed cooling system, and I replaced the impeller and housing at the beginning of the season. I just took off the exhaust risers, and...
I have a Mercruiser serial number 0F598365. It was starting hard, so I went to do the timing. It appeared to be off by 4 degrees, so I corrected it. It’s starting easier now, but I’m still not sure if I set the timing properly. I can’t find a purple and white wire to ground to set base timing...
I have a 1999 8hp 2 stroke SN 0G765923 that I took the LU off, and now I can't get the shift shaft to shift in to neutral and reverse. When I spin it clockwise, it gets to a point where it stops. Is the cam somehow spun out of the proper alignment?
How do I get the shift shaft properly...
