    6.2 MPI Whine noise when revs

    He said it's pretty common on these. He's he's backed up until August so he feels like it's pretty good and he is confident of his work so I'm going to roll with it. He's a very well thought of mechanic around here, and I am in the car repair business and I can tell when somebody knows what...

    6.2 MPI Whine noise when revs

    It's fine. The noise I hear in the engine compartment is the new fuel pump. The noise from the drive is just the helical gears whining as it winds down because it is unloaded and out of the water. I'm actually out on the lake right now and it's perfect. I talked to the mechanic and he had...

    6.2 MPI Whine noise when revs

    Well, I just picked it up from the shop last August. It only went on the lake twice. Didn't make this noise either trip, and it definitely didn't make it when I was winterizing it in November. So somehow in just over 5 months this noise has cropped up. Among other things, some of the work done...

    6.2 MPI Whine noise when revs

    No, the plug was open the whole time, it had 2 covers on it and doesn't really get wet.

    6.2 MPI Whine noise when revs

    Okay, all that stuff is brand new. I'll talk with the shop that replaced it. They are very backed up or it'd already be over there, I'm just trying to see if it's something less involved that I can do. It did not make that noise the 2 times it went to the lake after the repairs, nor when I...

    6.2 MPI Whine noise when revs

    Okay, sounds like the first step is actually to check the drive oil, lol, before doing all that work. I do recall now that when I first opened it up, the oil reservoir was low. Didn't take much to top it off, though. I believe the Bravo 3's do consume a bit

    6.2 MPI Whine noise when revs

    It was all replaced last year. It's been to the lake twice since it was repaired. Had gimbal, bellows, shift cable, fuel pump, plugs/wires/pickup, impeller pump, and a few other things. It wasn't making this noise when I winterized it, I'm about 99% sure.

    6.2 MPI Whine noise when revs

    Okay, this is a 2001 6.2 MPI. You can hear a whining noise when you're up in the boat with the hood open. It's definitely abnormal. Boat did not make that noise when it was winterized. We thought it was a power steering pump, sounds just like a power steering whine from up in the boat...

    Merc 6.2 Runs a few minutes, then dies and won't restart

    Just thought I'd follow up on this: It was the fuel pump. The rest of the system was fine, the gas is old but still fine. Pump and filter, runs like a top. Went ahead and had some other maintenance done, but the running issue was the pump.

    Merc 6.2 Runs a few minutes, then dies and won't restart

    If it was bad fuel, then it should never run correctly should it? It runs perfectly fine takes the gas and everything until it warms up. And the fuel wasn't 3 years old a year and a half ago. It did the same thing then. I won't rule that out but I don't think that's the problem. Will...

    Merc 6.2 Runs a few minutes, then dies and won't restart

    2000 Ebbtide Mystique. 6.2 Merc, EFI. 600-ish hours. Hasn't been in the water for close to 3 years now. Was winterized and running fine previously. Didn't have time for it in 2021. Tried to get it going last summer, decided to put an impeller in it since I bought it used in 2019 and...

    2001 6.2 Merc Skips, Gas Smell, No Power When Cold

    So I have a 2001 Ebbtide Mystique. 6.2L. Bravo 3. 629 hours. I have an odd problem, that I thought I had fixed but it happened again yesterday: Bought this recently in another state. Had the marina where it was stored do a "buyer's checklist" checkout on it so I'd know more about it...

    Trailer Too Short?

    Hi, I'm new here, been out of boating for awhile and just purchased a used one for the family. 01 Ebbtide 2300 Mystique. Now, I am not all that pleased about how far off the back of the trailer the bunks extend. That said, I just towed it over 6 hours home, with no issue, but I am still not...
