    running engine without drive on it

    With the drive off, insert and secure a hose either without a end fitting or a hose adaptor that fits in the water hole port of the bell housing intake port, turn water on and run the engine as long as you like.

    Trouble finding engine model number

    Honestly probably no real need on our part to add more as the 2 photos above helped tell us the story and find the info you need to move forward better at finding all the parts you'd need. But again this boat went from a 5.0 to a good 5.7 engine.:cool:(y)...Enjoy.:)

    Trouble finding engine model number

    Do you have a photo of the engine handy? Being you have both a Volvo drive and Merc engine block, you'll need to know what engine components are on the outside of the block...Mostly that is and depending on the type of service work you're doing here. 807449R50 is the model/engine block part...

    2012 5.0 Ltr. MerCruiser overheating issue

    Need your engine serial number to help confirm yours has these items but you may want to try thoroughly inspecting the thermostat poppet valve and especially exhaust check valves at the bottom as they have been found to make the engine run hot if not working properly. Item 11 and 15, Thermostat...

    How old is this drive for sale

    Seems Mercruiser may have sold (sent it out) it as a stand-alone drive to someone directly vs putting it in an engine application combination package to fit a certain boat production...Probably internal record keeping to help keep mistakes down to a minimum of mixing wrong gear ratios to engine...

    5.0l MPI Single Alarm at 2000 RPMs and higher

    Standard cooling system on yours? Not closed cooling… Just wondering if anyone has tried thoroughly inspecting the thermostat poppet valve and exhaust check valves as maybe they are having an odd affect on the pressure at higher RPM. Item 11 and 15...

    How old is this drive for sale

    2A016548 is a newer model probably 2011 or newer will be my guess… but the serial number comes up as a MERCRUISER ALPHA 1.81:1 DRIVE DIRECT SHIP unit. You could call any Mercruiser parts dealer with the number and find out the year.

    5.0l MPI Single Alarm at 2000 RPMs and higher

    What does the engine temperature do when the pressure goes low? Any recorded overheat fault code?. Even though you went to thru hull water pick up, was the inlet hose at the pump reused? / that ran to the transom… What color is the inlet hose (now?) (red or black) Does the hose have a quick...

    2006 Sea Ray I/O 5.0 mpi shuts off when I put it in gear

    Another thought to add is when you mention neutral, are you leaving the throttle handle straight up and down not moving it or by pushing in the throttle only button and moving the handle forward? If moving the handle, there’s a chance you’re overriding the IAC value (idle air control) giving...

The handle design "sort of" looks like a 3000 classic typically found in the 1994 and up year range when looking at controllers in which typically uses the long stem button like you found but the modular looks like your year range (91) in...

    Very hard to steer towards starboard while underway

    There are a quite a bit of components throughout the whole steering system that could cause this affect and depending on actual issue, it could take some time in testing to narrow it down...
