Here is the back of the tach. I want to verify the pinout so that I make sure it is hooked up correctly so that I don't burn anything up. The left pin is showing the ground symbol. The middle or say between the left and right pin you can see it says 12V and the far right pin is labeled 59...
I have a friend that brought his late 90 model wave runners over for me to store for the winter. Last year he put new batteries in them. I noticed when he dropped them off the keys where stuck in the ignition switch. Would this cause the ignition box to be fired on all the time and kill the...

Begining of this boating season I replaced the plugs, and wires on this engine due to it missing and sputtering a bit from time to time. It didn't matter if the engine was cold or warm you just bumped the key and it would fire right up and you could take off no problems. It seemed as it was...
I had just rebuilt the OMC upper gearcase since it had locked up due to improper greasing of the housing. This is a boat I help fix with my father. Of course it has been greased properly this time. After it was greased before, it ran for about five minutes and the upper gearcase bearing...
What is the proper method to set the timing on 1988 Merc V6 262 4.3L engine? Just reset the distributor and I know the timing degree I just need to know the correct method? Doesn't it have to be in base mode? If so how do you do this?
