    Mercruiser Trim Issue (not the usual issues)

    api scan tool opinions?

    techmate mostly does mercuser/mercury. no honda, yamaha, evinrude... the API is relatively cheap if you buy parts from SEI, which i do. they have different teirs depending on how much business you do with them. https://www.sterndrive.cc/product/marine_diagnostic_tool_mercury_yamaha_suzuki.html

    3.0 Mercruiser seems to hang or seize when starting

    asnoted above, pull the plugs and see if it cranks. if you are running it on muffs, you may have filled the cylinders with water due to cracked manifold. i wouldnt pull the drive until doing this 1st

    2014 MPI fault codes 321 & 322

    well, this engine is a catalytic converter engine, 4 sensors, all a pain in the ass to get to, shields and such. the sensor were not cheap, customer wanted OEM and thats what he got. the 02's are new and i am hard to believe that they are bad already. and just an FYI. this is a lake boat.
