    MerCruiser model 496 MAG (H.O.) 425 HP loss of power

    Confirmed that the Throttle is mechanical and not digital. Injectors were brand new and cost a lot of money each - pretty sure they were not rebuilt.

    MerCruiser model 496 MAG (H.O.) 425 HP loss of power

    Thanks pretty sure he has the CDS dongle - left in our boat once. But agree when we are not handy ourselves we are reliant on the mechanic telling us what we need.

    MerCruiser model 496 MAG (H.O.) 425 HP loss of power

    Fuel pump that was installed was the Mercury-Mercruiser 8M0047215 Fuel Pump Module Service Kit Complete. All the gauges are normal when it happens. It’s like a flood of fuel then dropped right down with a blocked feeling.
