    Problem with both up/down trim - no click

    Alpha 1Gen II trim on 2001 Mercruiser 5.7L Trim is in up position now, as it has been all winter. Neither up or down trim works, with no click from either solenoid. Solenoids are dark at tip but shiny down the posts. Here's what I have done and tested so far: 1. Removed each terminal wire...

    5.7 Mercruiser Slave Solenoid - Replace after 1 season?

    Last spring I replaced the slave solenoid on my 2001 5.7 Mercruiser, as the engine wouldn't crank unless I arched the solenoid posts. After replacement with Sierra part 18-5816 the engine started with key all of last summer. Here I am again attempting to get the boat ready for summer and the...

    Starter won't stop cranking on 5.7 Merc

    The starter on my 2001 Bayliner with 5.7 Merc carb I/O won't stop cranking, even when the key is in the off position or out of the switch all together. The starter and engine start cranking when the switch is in the on position. I can kill using the kill switch on the throttle. With the key...

    Electric Short - Gauge Problems?

    Over the past month I've had intermittent warning indicators in boat and finally traced down the cause to an electrical issue. When I turn on the nav lights my temperature gauge immediately climbs 70-150 degrees. Turn the nav lights off and the temp gauge returns to normal. So, I'm assuming...

    Replacement Walk-Through Windshield Section

    Bought my boat last year used and the starboard side windshield section had obviously been replaced, with the bowrider walk-through piece missing. Checked with a Bayliner dealer and the walk-through piece is over $500, but nobody can tell me the exact dimensions of the Bayliner part and it's...

    Operating Temps with Gun for Merc 5.7L -Normal?

    I got a infra gun to get true engine temps. On my Merc 5.7L running fresh water via a hose and muffs the starboard manifold has a water hose going from the center of engine (sorry for the ignorance) to the starboard manifold, where one isn't present on the port manifold. Does that make sense...

    2001 Mercruiser 5.7L Carb Service Manual Needed

    I am needing the the Mercruiser 5.7L carb service manual ASAP and Mercruiser doesn't appear to offer any option to get my hands on one quickly. I purchased the Seloc manuals online subscription, but frankly I'm not really happy with their manual. Very scattered and I feel it lacks...

    High Oil Pressure and High Temp

    Mercruiser 5.7L 250 with Alpha One GII with 125 hours. After running fine all day the oil pressure started spiking today, which has never happened previously. Ran the boat in the lake with the engine lid open and the was no evidence of oil leaking or smoke. Oil pressure went back down to...

    Secure Back Seats in 2001 Capri Sport 215

    I have a 2001 Capri Sport 215 and have found the rear seats to be an aweful design. There are 3 seperate cushions that are not secured and cover the rear coolers. The rear lip of the plywood slide into a small groove and the front of the cushion used to snap into the front of the coolers...

    Adding fishing seat to runabout

    I know runabouts are not optimal for fishing, but I'd like to add a fishing seat to my open bow runabout. Are there products for easily adding a fishing seat to the bow of an open bow runabout? Any ideas?

    5.7L 250HP Mercruiser Overheating

    I have a 2001 5.7L 250HP Mercruiser Alpha One Gen II, which has started overheating after running a while on the lake. The boat has never been run in sea water. We typically have a pretty full boat. The engine typically runs @175 degrees, but over the holiday weekend the temperature started...
