    Timing Question Evinrude 115 w/ OIS

    Hi there, I'm trying to time a 1997 Evinrude 115 w/ OIS. I have the seloc repair manual and the timing tool, my question is about the instructions, on step 3, it says "Loosen the timer base detent screw, then move both the inner and outer detent tabs completely forward on the detent plate." So...

    Mercruiser 7.4 Starter Grinding/Partial Engagement?

    Sorry for the late reply, teeth on the flywheel look fine except some light grinding caused by the starter. I actually ended up rebuilding the original starter but it still has the grinding problem and grinds. Anyone have any other ideas? I'm almost to the point of just pulling the motor, seems...

    Mercruiser 7.4 Starter Grinding/Partial Engagement?

    I just swapped out the bolts with the new ones but unfortunately still the same problem, I hear grinding when I try to crank it.

    Mercruiser 7.4 Starter Grinding/Partial Engagement?

    I think my old one was a PMM too maybe? Looks the same? I re-used the original bolts, I matched them up with the new ones but only noticed a very small difference. From the markings on the paint it looks like the bendix isn't fully engaging the ring gear but I did some measurements and with the...

    Mercruiser 7.4 Starter Grinding/Partial Engagement?

    I tried 2 new starters that both should work for the 7.4 I believe, these are the 2 starters I bought, they look the same as the one I removed from the boat: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CX5SNEA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

    Mercruiser 7.4 Starter Grinding/Partial Engagement?

    Also I have already turned the motor over by hand, turns over fine, even removed spark plugs just to make sure, the engine isn't locked.

    Mercruiser 7.4 Starter Grinding/Partial Engagement?

    Hi there, I'm working on a mercruiser 7.4 engine and just installed a new starter, I've never had the boat running yet and when I tried cranking it seems the motor tried to start briefly then a grinding sound. I took the starter off and marked the gear with a marker, re-installed and tried to...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi dies when jumping b+b/w wires for timing?

    Yup you were right, I pushed a screwdriver in there and was able to go to neutral, I tried revving it up to 1200 rpms and it still died when I put the jumper pin in, do you think it's ok to go up to 1800 rpms on muffs and then try it?

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi dies when jumping b+b/w wires for timing?

    I tried every which way and can't find the neutral switch, I attached some pics, there are also 2 buttons under the handle that I can't figure out what they do either

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi dies when jumping b+b/w wires for timing?

    So that was the other odd thing about this boat, it's a 1997 Chris Craft 25 Concept w/ DPS drive and as far as I can tell, there's no way to rev the boat in neutral? And I also read conflicting information about the RPMs, it seems with Mercs you're supposed to rev to 1800 RPMs before putting it...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi dies when jumping b+b/w wires for timing?

    Hi there, I have a new to me 1997 Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi i've been working on, finally got everything put together and the engine runs smooth, I'm trying to check the timing and for this TBI engine I believe you just jump the black + black/white wires at the 10-pin diagnostic port at the front, but...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi No Spark

    Sorry, late reply but figured I'd still post the solution, it ended up being the safety kill switch, it had worn out and wouldn't make a good connection unless it was FULLY pressed down, even being pressed down by the clip it was making a real rough connection.

    Volvo Penta DP-S Parts Diagram?

    Hi there, I'm trying to assemble the new to me duo prop propeller and can't seem to find a parts diagram for the outdrive. I believe it's a DP-S drive. Serial No. is T0810553 and the Part No. is 3868441. Any information on this drive would be greatly appreciated!

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi No Spark

    Hi there, I'm working on a volvo penta 5.7 GSi that I bought that had water mixing with the oil, I disassembled the motor down to the block and concluded the leak was from a blown intake manifold gasket, no visible cracks in the block or head, anyway, put everything back together and I'm not...

    Help with Mercury Sport Jet 175 Oil Hose Routing

    Hey all, i'm working on a Mercury Sport Jet 175 that I just got in non-running condition, seems the previous owner took the starter out and just never replaced it, and as usual some other random stuff not where it's supposed to be. I got most of it put back together with parts diagrams but can't...

    Evinrude 88 SPL won't crank with key pushed in for primer

    I'm having an issue with my Evinrude 88 SPL where it will crank fine when I just turn the key, but if I press the key in to engage the primer solenoid, it won't crank. I do hear the primer solenoid clicking open when I push the key in. I'm thinking I have a faulty key switch but wanted to get...

    I'm working on a 1978 Evinrude 140 and got it running right but didn't see any water coming out from the pisser, before I replace the water impeller I wanted to make sure there wasn't an issue with the thermostat but I can't seem to find it? I looked up the parts diagram for the cylinder head...

    Evinrude 88 SPL Primer Solenoid Question

    Hey all, I have an Evinrude 88 SPL and I'm curious if my electronic primer solenoid is working correctly, when I press the key I can hear the solenoid click, but then if I try to turn the key while pressed in, it does nothing, turning the key without pressing in will crank the engine just fine...
