Had to replace my intake manifold due to a rusted hole in the exhaust crossover. I believe this is a common issue. Put it all back together and it fired right up. The issue is that the Rpm’s are surging at idle. 650-1400 then somewhere in between. Rev engine and it would have a very noticeable...
After going to the mercury website I have found the correct ignition coil and etc... I should have thought of that sooner. Just curious why you say the mefi3 doesn’t have a soft alarm
I guess my real issue is what else is different. I was looking to get a spare ignition coil but it doesn’t match either. I have a soft alarm at 3000 rpm and a no start condition when hot. If I need to buy the parts that I believe I need, what part numbers do I use, what engine do I look up to...
The site clearly shows that the sea water pump is belt driven. Does not state that it is for bravo drives only. Alpha drives have had it both ways. Someone please clarify this if you can. Thanks for your help.
hi everyone, I have. 1999 280BR that has twin 5.7 TBI motors. Serial number on the starboard motor is 0L349745 which comes up as a Gen+ and port motor is very close in sequence just don’t have it with me at the moment. My problem is mercruiserparts.com says this motor has a belt driven raw water...
Thanks, there is one on eBay about 45 min down the road from me. $2600 but I haven’t checked with him about age or whether it’s wired for the panel inside the cabin. Would be nice if they would make these portables safe for enclosures. Thanks and yes I thinks it a Mitsubishi engine. Really would...
Yes, both transmissions were leaking at the seals. They have been replaced and the starboard motor reinstalled Thursday and port going in on Monday. So looks like a sea trial this week. Fingers crossed. They are Hurth 630 v drives.
Looking for an engine block for my Westerbeke BCG 4.2. Threw a rod and would like to rebuild it this winter while it’s out of the boat. Any suggestions on where to get a used or new one if still made and who the block manufacturer is. 97’ 330DA I believe it’s original to the boat. Thanks
No I haven’t, I’m actually waiting for the boatyard to give me their input and assessment. I will give them another week before I put the boat back on my trailer and carry it to the house where I can work on it. Thanks for your help and info.
I know it’s a Hurth. I even have the serial numbers from my literature. I am concluding that they are 630’s and 1.5 ratio but I’m not absolutely positive.
