    2000 Cruisers 2870 Check Engine light blinking but no codes?

    The check engine light on the console starts slow blinking steadily immediately after starting the engine but when I checked the codes in my Mercruiser 7.4 MPI it just gives me code 12 which should mean system is operational and nothing is wrong? Any idea where I should check to get the check...

    This one has me completely stumped, I'm working on a 2012 Yamaha F115LA that's leaking a large amount of water into the oil, after a fresh oil change and running the engine for just 3 minutes, the dipstick jumps from the low mark to way overfilled. So far I've already taken the cylinder head...

    Mercruiser 4.3 EFI leaking fuel but can't find leak??

    I have a Mercruiser 4.3 EFI engine and it appears to be leaking fuel from somewhere but I can't for the life of me figure out where and it's driving me crazy. I've run the engine on the hose for over an hour with no visible fuel leak, I traced the lines from the fuel filter to the fuel pump up...

    Bravo 2 input shaft won't barely turn but propeller turns fine?

    I'm working on my 1993 Sea Ray Sundancer 290 with a bravo 2 outdrive. My engine dropped a valve 3 years ago so it's been sitting for awhile, the drive was working perfectly fine when I parked it, I just recently got around to putting in a new engine and to my surprise when I tried to install the...

    2008 Volvo Penta 5.0GL Carb Problems

    Hey all, I'm working on my 2008 Starcraft with a Volvo Penta 5.0GL with the 2 barrel holley carb. When I got it it had some issues running, when I looked down the carbs I saw one side was dripping fuel fine while the other was only letting out a few drops, so I figured a carb rebuild was in...

    Volvo Penta SX Trim Motor Part Number

    Anyone know where the part number for the trim motor for the volvo penta SX outdrive? I've disassembled my pump assembly and found the motor to actually be surprisingly working, but very rusted from water intrusion. I'm looking for just the motor itself and not the whole assembly which is quite...

    1998 Mercury 150 EFI Flooding Out

    Hey all, i'm working on a 1998 Mercury 150 EFI and the issue is it keeps flooding out, I can get it started by holding the throttle all the way down but if I let off it'll immediately die. At first I thought it was too much oil mixing into the gas as I saw a lot of blue smoke, but I completely...

    2004 Mercruiser 3.0 Water/Oil Mix Coming Out of Breather

    I did a search and found some similar threads but no real answer to my issue. I have a 2004 Mercruiser 3.0 with unknown history, supposedly the boat was winterized but I'm not sure if it was done properly. When I got the boat, the oil looked good and compression test was good, on the first trip...

    Swapping 88' 454 Truck Engine to Replace 93' Mercruiser 454

    After multiple issues with the engine in my boat I've decided to just swap the block and heads out. My neighbor just happened to have an 88' 454 motor (Gen IV?) from a suburban with 100k miles sitting around so I got that from him and stripped it down. I know I have to move the accessory...

    This has got me really confused, Mercruiser 7.4 Gen V I was looking and saw some water dripping from the side of the block, naturally I would think cracked block but just did a pressure test and the cooling system holds pressure fine and I don't hear any air coming out?? I looped the two exhaust...

    Mercruiser 7.4 Oil Pressure Alarm Goes Off Randomly?

    I have an alarm that keeps going off randomly, sometimes I run the engine and it'll never go off, other times it starts buzzing and doesn't stop, I think it's the oil pressure sensor anyway, it's got a white with blue stripe wiring going to it. My oil pressure gauge on the dash reads perfectly...

    Can water get into oil from failed exhaust parts?

    So I finally got my Merc 7.4 up and running and unfortunately after running it for about 20 minutes at idle on the hose I noticed my oil level was rising. I just put new head gaskets and intake manifold gaskets on so I don't think either of those are leaking. I also inspected the heads and block...

    I've almost got everything on my engine put back together but i'm having a hard time figuring out where the trim sender wires attach to, the only wires left that aren't hooked up to anything are the purple and blue coming from one harness and the black and black/white stripe coming from another...

    How to do new distributor timing on Mercruiser 7.4 Gen V?

    I'm trying to reinstall a distributor and didn't mark the old one, what is the procedure for new distributor timing for a Merc 7.4 Gen V? I tried to look up some guides and they mention putting it in base timing mode either by shorting the purp wire or jumping the two white wires, but on my...

    Can I use slightly longer push rods than stock on 454 Gen V?

    So I had several bent push rods due to seized valves so I bought a full set on ebay that supposedly came from an 89 454, which should be the exact same push rod as the part #'s are the same for the push rods between the 89 454 and my 93 454 Gen V, but upon examination both the intake and exhaust...
