    gear lube

    For what it's worth, there was a time where it was recommended to cover the drain plug screw with an black rtv type silicone to make the areas smooth so maybe it got covered up....In doing so it was theorized to create less air bubbles to the prop to help with performance but that mostly started...

    At the moment I may have yours confused with alldodge...Were the batteries just ordered and installed new?...Plus wasn't recently an issue found with the battery switch and a new one put in?

    Quicksilver gimbal bearing dot alignment

    While my personal preference is to follow the book as much as possible as long as I believe it’s correct and I’m this case I do tend to personally ensure the bearing ends up in the 10 o’clock possession but in recent years past here on the forums, the bearing has been fully measured out and they...

    Trim Control Rubber Boot?

    Possibly either the trim handle button is sticking, or I've seen a few where the trim system wiring at/behind the shift control unit 'white wiring "plastic plug connector" was laying on the bottom submerged in water at times and had corroded out enough that the down wire was getting power in...

    Fresh Mercruiser swap. No power

    Is there power at the breaker 2 red wires? Is there 12v power from the battery to the engine starter? Main wire at the alternator has 12 volt power? Wiggle the main engine wiring harness. Some 3.0's have while some 3.0's don't have a 90 amp fuse at the engine starter.

    Starter for V8-300-C-A

    You might be fighting some paint from the manufacturer as well as the bolt torque too. Is the area clean down there? How is the access to the starter bolts and wiring on your boat model? Are you able to take a few photos to help see what it looks like down there? as sometimes a visual may help...

    2015 4.5 no start/trim

    The click may another blow fuse and probably blowing 2 of them (or more)… one trim and the other ignition power…. Plus you should have relays involved in your system. Have you located all the fuses on the engine yet and checked them to see if they look blown? With fuses blowing, something is...

    Overheating 502

    Yes that is a check valve to help keep hot water from getting to the fuel cooler pump system… Merc part number 21-862271A1.
