    Mods please move to the right place. Help to sort out alternator/ fuel pump wiring

    Hello, I'm finishing wiring for my Sea Ray 268, and I don't understand how alternator/ fuel pump should be wired. Now it has 4 wires (red, orange, black, purple) coming from harness, two relays, and one free connector. I'm attaching free connector and alternator pictures.

The problem came, when I took off intake manifold, and saw, that cooling canals are rusty and dirty. I've decided to take of head covers...

    268 Sundancer 1987 engine mystery

    It's very interesting, because when I bought that engine, owner told me, that everything is the same. Now I looked at the engine, and it's 5.7 block. As far as I heard it's only different heads, or something to bring more HP. Engine came with complete wiring and computer. But I think, that it's...

    268 Sundancer 1987 engine mystery

    1.) I don't see much of expense, because I need only fuel pump, as far as I understand. 2.) Got both. 4.) Maybe, I'm not sure. Question do I need that for 6.2 engine? Today I've check the engine I bought and I think it's MPI, not EFI. If You could tell me difference between two, I could judge...

    268 Sundancer 1987 engine mystery

    Hello all, We are about to buy a boat with broken engine. Interesting thing is that this boat is powered with a single 5.4 Mercruiser and Alpha drive. For me it sounds underpowered, maybe that is the reason why engine is broken. From that point, seems like we have to buy complete drop in engine...
