I'll second that. I had 600 hrs. on mine with no trouble but I realize one man's opinion doesn't constitute fact. I have friends who always complaining they are replacing carb's because the don't idle or run cold, or ethanol gas ruined them etc. Look at the pros and cons of both. I loved that...

Well after several emails with Merc today, it turns out they have a "male to male" cable (which I incorrectly stated Female earlier) which will correct my issue. I believe my system should look like this. No terminators are required per Merc, only dust caps. I will update once I have this...

Wow - you are doing this in the water!! I would have lost half the screws by now. Great update. Did you just use the tip in the Sikaflex tube and cut on an angle?

Well this was a bust! I ordered the cable merc suggested and the jbox. The tech told me the only thing wrong with this diagram for me was I needed to add another 4 port at the end of the dual engine cable. The problem is the cable at that end is female and so is the junction box. The two...

I will be doing the same in a few weeks. Tt- elaborate on the long nose syringes and what is different than the nose on the tube? Do you move the 5200 into the syringe?

Take a few minutes and read this thread. Starting at #12. Listen to the video too. While mine was not as loud as the video, it saved me a lot of stress. It may be as dt suggests, but take a few to go through the post I attached...

So I did not use a broker and this may not help much, but when I bought my 340, I wanted a few things fixed. One item we discussed was really a deferred maintenance item (Manifolds never changed). The buyer pushed back on that. The surveyor found cracks in the fuel line fittings and noted my...

Interesting - I asked about that (terminator) but he said just the dust caps needed. I’ll double check that. Also - earlier here I posted that I have the gage solved with the harness shown below (bottom pic).

So this is what they sent me today - with the understanding the that dual cable plugs into another 4 way like what leeron shows above, not the harness as shown, Thanks for the offer on the six box but I’ll just install it as they state since I already ordered it all. Appreciate the reply.

So ttmott - with my 2 - 4 ways, there is a Harness from each motor on each box(outer). I have a cable that connects both boxes (inner). If I had a six box, could both motors be on one six box rather than two fours? Or does each have power as there is no power wire at my helm. i ask because it...

Thanks - interesting that it came with my 502 yet the install directions don’t show it. I bummed to find out I need another jbox and cable after talking again with merc. It turns out the drawing I sent you only shows the final box as you drew. Mine has a jbox for each engine and a connection...

leeron, Do you know what is the grey plastic piece that came with my 502 screw bag? Looks like a "t"

Great news! Especially since I just ordered a 502 for my boat. I decided rather than wait for the moment the current view died, I would convert now. The only difference in my set up compared to yours, is I have (2) 4 port J-Boxes, each have one engine going into them, a cable to connect box to...

What software did you use to create this diagram?
