Called Merc and they were extremely helpful! Ordered the vessel view and resistor cap

That would be great! Can anyone else confirm? I would love to see fault codes instead of tracking down a mercruiser dealer to tell me what’s wrong

I should have included:2003 mercruiser 5.0 MPI

It is located on starboard side near the cap and rotor. Looks very similar to vehicle obd but has 2 rows of 5. Total of 10. I’ve read the obd for mercruiser is on port side and has 4 or 5 pins?

Sounds good I’ll do the vacuum on hull through drain and look into replacing dipstick. Thanks for all the help everyone

Engine was warmed up for 15min and oil cap was removed. Oil was barely dripping out. Dip stick shows correct amount of oil in pan. Just to clarify there is no petcock to open to use the hull through oil drain?

just bought the boat and was attempting to conplete oil change but could not. I have the hull through oil drain but no oil came out however I was on slight hill and not was leaning towards drivers side. Is the oil pan drain on passenger side?
