Bailey - All Boy!

Do you by chance have the flush mount flaf pole holder that is on the stern?

Been through a few sets of plug wires on our 496 mags. Put a set of Scott High Performance wires on last year. Recommended by a friend that races drag boats.

Not that I condone using starting fluid for none other than this reason. As I have a sprayer that I use regular gas to do this. You can use certainly use starting fluid spray for this test. It will tell you if it is your carborator or not Expose the carb. Take off the air breather. Crank it...

Not sure which cool fuel module you have on the 2002. On our 2006 we have the Cool Fuel 3 and it had the "paint issue". Mercruiser paid to have BOTH of my engines fuel system replaced from and including the complete fuel module to the injectors along with having the injectors professionally...

If yo are satisfied it isn't a fuel problem, the next thing I would consider is to swap coil packs between the motors and see if problem moves to port side.

Yes a sticky keyboard and you are correct. Hopefully Santa is going to address that keyboard in a few days.

I just replaced mine (2006 / 340) with 2 new from Prince William Marine in Virginia. Marina brole one when removing an engine when doing transoms. Not cheap. The marina replaced mine though.

Been running Gr 31 AGMS, Douglas from Battery Plus for last 12 years. First in 2700 Maxum and last 8 in 340 SR. Get solid 5 years out of them. Stbd bank has batteries and is dedicated to stbd engine and house. Port bank is dedicated to Port engine, genny and bow thruster only. Both banks...

Not sure if your engines have the individual col packs or not. I had this same issue and it turned out to be one of plug wires at the connection to the coil pack was arcing and grounding out against the engine as it is quite tight around the coil packs. Tere was aloso a post on here about the...

With only 90 hours my bet is the carb is toast, gummy toast that is. Start your gennty EVERY time you use the boat. Run it for at least 20 min on load. They like to be ran. You may try n clean the carb with SeaFoam. Will need to use an auxilliary fuel tank to mix the fuel and Seafoam...

Had same issue - turned out to be the steering tiller arms were toast. The pins being stainless were fine. The square in the tiller arms were more like oval. Had 9 inches of drive slop with 3/4 of a turn in the steering wheel. My steering was hard from the day I bought the boat and the...

Hi Ryan - Yes they are.

+1 on Scoflaw - The same goes with fuel pumps. When they get hot they do not work as they vaporize the fuel. Checking the fuel cooler costs nothing and rue that part of it out. I do agree ruling things out such as fuel issue or spark issue is the way to go. This is part of ruling out the...

Not real familiar with '99 7.4 454s. Fresh or salt water cooled? Do you have an isolated fuel cooler? Why I ask - BIL had a motor that did similar. Although it was a Volvo with duoprop drive. They changed out everything - fuel filter, pump, fuel in tank, fuel lines, even cut the tank out...

MY gauges were analog only, not SC1000. We had the SC5000 component that we upgraded to the VV703. That was that part that was not plug n play. Good to hear your gauges went well.
