Went to fire up go for a ride for the first time this year yesterday. The engine fired right up, but I got a check engine warning with a single repeating beep.
One thing I checked was my outdrive fluid reservoir. It was empty! There is evidence of gear lube in the bilge. I filled it up the...
Took my son and his buddies out on the water to watch the eclipse. Actually saw some stars with 97% obstruction of the sun. Cooled things off for an hour or so.
The engine turns over fine but won't start. Acts like there is no fuel (but there is plenty in tank). So I don't think its the battery.
Additionally, the gauges won't come to life either. So I checked all the fuses in the main box and none are blown. Is there maybe a fuse in-line somewhere...
Hello forum,
I have an intermittent problem trimming up my outdrive. It never seems to have a problem going down, but sometimes won't respond to the command to trim up from the shift lever switch. Was an infrequent problem last year but seems to be getting more prevalent.
Any suggestions to...
Its happened before, so I think I know what it is this time.
Two beeps intermittent, check engine on display, engine stalls at idle - won't stay running at idle.

This time, I'd like to tackle...
Looks like I will be sent home from work tomorrow.
Weather in mid-80's, full tank of gas in the boat, kids in school, and wife at work.
Thanks, Obama. Or GOP. Or whoever.

The water and air temps are so high down here, me and all my boating buddies have been hit with vapor lock this past week.
Sunday we got stuck in a severe thunderstorm at dark, waiting for the engine to cool off enough to start. Lightning, driving winds, hail, torrential rain. Had five kids...
My 06 220SD with 5.0l MPI is having intermittent problems starting.
Sometimes (usally the first time I try) to start it, there is no response. Just the regular BEEP that it makes when it cranks, but no crank. no nothing.
Sometimes that happens two or three times. Then I'll turn the key...

I hit a submerged log and figured something got broken or bent.
What are these busted parts? Anybody have an idea of repair costs?
The dealer is 20 miles down the lake. The boat is handling fine and has no vibrations or anything. Think it is safe to boat to the dealer, or should I...
