    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Would be nice if there was a way to find out how many certified Tech's each dealer had. I'm guessing they might have one but wonder if there is a OB and I/O certs? The place I'm going to sells mainly OB boats, that said they even messed up installing OB props

    Yes same place, they have always made it right after I tell them, that not bolting the fuel module down could cause a dangerous failure later

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Found more issues Went to install bolt and figure to get more access I would remove the engine room step, well they did the same but also almost rounded out a couple of the screws. Installed the bolt than felt around and the other one is also missing. Seems it never ends, I need to find...

    Not sure I would be willing to go 300 hours unless I step up the amount of hours I accumulate each year. I'm still seeing 3 yr or 300 hours, are you seeing something else?

    This first time yes, if the impeller or pump has an issue in next 2 years there should be no comment about maintenance not being done

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Don't know but I would bet the folks doing the work Don't add more thsn needed. The issue is the dealer makes extra money for charging for more than needed because most Don't know that it doesn't take 12 gallons of oil to change it My buddy's boat was changed and only charged 5 quarts.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    This kind of stuff keeps happening. I like the guy doing the scheduling but keep running into issues with work they do. Prior times Installed washers on prop in the incorrect order Tightened prop nut way more than spec Over spray on cowling and boat Now this, it seams like every time I have...

    The water pump does not have a switch, when Bat switch is turned on the pump comes on if the breaker is closed. Might have to do something about that later The winch switches are at the bow only and under the winch hatch. The chain stop latch isn't the easiest to get at but is doable Noticed...

    2019 Mercury 40 ELPT EFI (3-cyl) cranks, won't start. No key-on beep, no relay click, no fuel pump hum. Power and ground look good at ECM.

    The main issue is we would need the service manual to trace the wiring. In your thread on marineengine you stated your getting 12V on the purple wire, and parts list doesn't show a main power relay. If it was me I would buy the service manual 8M0105569

    Entire electrical system dies when under way

    Yes the Regulator is inside the Alt. They work but I'm not a fan because installing one and it started over charging. Might have just been a bad one but went back to 3 wire

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Could be, I do need to look more because not having a switch to turn pump on/off bothers me. Maybe its in the head because im sure its not on the helm.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    They said they did not feel an issue with steering running on muffs pushing AF into the motor. Ok wonder how many seconds they had to check steering with only 4 gallons of AF. Buddy without water system and open cooling charged the same 4 gallons to winterize his open cooled motor. Mentioned...
