Ok will try to make this short and sweet
I have a 96 Chaparral 1930 5.0 Mercruiser Alpha one gen 2 , The boat ran on this spring and sucked water. Hydrolocked and blew teeth off the flywheel.
I ran into a deal on a 2007 boat that was burned BAD!! Boat had 60 Hours (according to service week before fire)Fire started in the garage which it was parked next to, front of boat was destroyed. Engine and drive were intact, only casualty was the drive oil overflow. and a few wires. The owner cut the transom and sold me the engine 5.0 vortech, drive alpha one gen 2 (with all the stickers and PERFECT, what was left of the wiring harness, $800.00, even got the title to the "boat"
To start, ran compression test, 150- 155 across the board, changed oil,new wiring harness, cleaned and scrubbed. Changed bellows, Gimbal Bearing, Gimble seal, Hoses, spark plug wires, should be ready to fire.
Now the question, Chaparral had a 10 wire plug with a Mechanical fuel pump. The new engine also has 10 wire plug, Do I have to add anything for the fuel pump or does the boat just power the brain box? It does have a oil pressure switch and a sensor on it.
