    Raw water pump

    Looks like there is a separate backing plate you can get also- why they even sell a "kit" without is a mystery to me. If one ens is messed up the other is...must be a reason so I have that now ordered...

    Raw water pump

    I have an 06 350 mpi motor with a failed raw water pump. I have repaired this in the past with a new impeller shortened to accommodate a wear plate. Mine is the original pump, all brass. I had ordered from a company that is no longer in business but my recollection was I got a wear plate that...

    After getting through a fuel issue I'm now into an electrical issue. 2006 350 mpi mercuiser, 300 hours. I/O express cruiser Recent service of plugs, wires, cap and roter. Was doing some mindful cranking trying to get the motor started . Yesterday, the last crank I did, everything went dead...

    I had some success but not resolved. I just went out to see if I could jump the selonoid...but figured I hit the key. When I turned the key everything powered up as normal and when I hit the starter it briskly turned over and it started, ran ruff a little and smoothed out. There was no water...

    Yikes! That's why I did not want to mess with that... I found a little valve with a hose barb on it so it screws on relieves the valve. I just turned the key a couple of times, little more water than clean..so I tried to start it....put my drain on the fuel rail ...pulled another sample that...

    Can't I just remove it? If I ground it to the block it can still spark...if I have fumes or any gas spills in the process and it sparks...this is an i/o and I don't want to blow it up!

    Thanks- will that disable the pump? I need the pump to blow that old fuel out of the rail. I found a fitting for that pressure valve that has a hose barb on it..I'm sure I can secure the line but I really don't want that thing firing!

    Well, that was not going to work unless I wanted to pull the generator which would probably mean pulling the motor- I treated the fuel with Heet. I need a means of getting that crap out of the fuel rail. I came up with a line from a pressure tester to open the valve on the rail and turn the key...

    Probably about 75 gallons. I picked up two separator filters and a new inline. I think I will go ahead and grab a primer bulb and pull the sender and see what is in there. I'll pull the fuel sender. With the boat on the trailer and the front cranked up I'd think most of the bad will have settled...

    Well...I broke down and went to harbor freight and bought an extractor. What a difference. I'm not sure that was the failure problem however. I don't think it ran long enough. So I pulled the excess oil out and got it down within range and it the key hoping I'd flood it out enough to clean off...

    New plugs, New fuel filter..understand still could be a fuel issue. Being told that over fill through can somehow go thru the exhaust and get into the cylinders and fowl the plugs...there was a sheen around the boat so I will pull some oil out and see if it blows it out...if not pull the plugs...

    I have a 07 350 mpi with 300 hours. Recently replaced wires, plugs rotor and cap. I had run the boat in the water afterwards and it ran great. I brought the boat home to work on some issues...I started up on muffs with no issues. I replaced my trim switch, selonoids and rams. I also changed the...

    I have an express cruiser and had a leak from the transom asy. I have a mercruiser i/o. I did have to pull the motor, clean everything up and re assemble. The seal design kind of sucks...but it seems to be fine now...ruff job!

    Should I use thread sealant when installing new trim hoses?

    Trim position sensor

    The trim limit does not seem to be working..it is new...I jumped it. My trim working range is not that big anyway, I was just trying to get it to work since I did replace it when I pulled the motor....I'll get back to it again one day.

    Should I use thread sealant when installing new trim hoses?

    Then why is it leaking ? I have pulled calipers before as well but all that tubing is heavier stuff- I don't know what to add- I had one so tight I had to cut it out- the others easily backed off- had much more torque on them when re installed and it's leaking. I have new cylinders so I don't...
