So year two of owning a 1995 250 DA 5.7 with a Bravo 3... and there’s the problem. At further inspections it’s come to my attention that someone painted the outdrive with copper paint and doesn’t have the correct amount of anodes. I assumed this was a pre 2003 bravo3 but after further inspection...
Hi all
Hope someone will give me news that hopefully is a simple fix.
Went to take son out in our 375 (340 Da) this morning and when I went to start port engine a squealing sound started like a loose belt in a car. (I’m no mechanic so excuse my wording)
My son said no water was coming out of the...
Hey guys i have a 1978 srv 260 with twin 470s.. both engines run top knotch. My issue is with the cooling system one engine temperature gauge creeps up and up and up until i pull it back off plane. I can run them both at 2500 or less there fine as soon as it starts pushing water to plane it...
My boat wasn't going into forward gear. The marina mechanic came down & pulled on the lower shift cable that goes from the engine to the outdrive and the boat went into gear both forward & reverse with no problem. So the good news is it's not the gears or the coupler. The bad news I'll need to...
I can get a FREE 27ft 1987 Sea Ray 268 Sundancer. It has title, low hours, and hull is in great shape. Mechanically, it has 2 Mercruisers that aren't getting fuel. My brother-in-law had an older Sundancer for 4 years that he sold recently for more than he purchased so it's peaked my interest...

New to me, 350 hours each repower I did late last year. LA Fire Rescue engines, but they did sit for a couple of years without being run.
I've been fighting some issues where things got mis-adjusted, and some stuff just didn't work.
I did refresh most of the ignition just because it's been 20...
I need new risers on my 7.4L Mercruisers and I found used stainless steel mercruiser risers for sale for cheaper than the new Barr cast risers. I would imagine this would be the best way to go since the rest of the engines are FWC and with stainless risers, in theory I would never have to touch...
Hello everyone, I want to share with you my experience
After having the boat stopped in a dry storage for a month when I want to start it and I had 2 beeps alarm every minute on my 2006 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI with 300 hours.
After reading several posts I thought it could be the IAC valve, I changed...
I need to find a used ALPHA ONE GEN II , COUNTER ROTATION , RATIO 1.84 sterndrive for my Sea Ray. Does anyone have any idea where to get one, except just going through all the parts dealers on the internet? The dealers don't seem to post them on ebay, is there some other portal? Europe...
03 280da, twin merc 5L mpi. Port motor started sputtering on way home, 45 min ride. It died as approach no wake and would crank but no start. Next day started up no problem but sputters when you goose the throttle. Any ideas?
Hello all. Looking for some help as I am baffled to resolving my issue. I have a mercruiser 7.4MPI serial # 0L085399- MEFI3. I am having issues that when I go past 2000 rpm the needle on the gauge rapidly starts to jump from 2000 - 2200 -2500 and so forth its not a smooth increase in rpm like it...
I have a 2000 Sundancer 240 with a 5.0L Mercruiser EFI engine. Last week the starboard intake hose cracked and was dumping sea water into the engine compartment. I've replaced the hose, no more leaking, but since then the engine won't crank over without using the advanced throttle and giving it...
I have a 2008 Sea Ray 270 SLX with the Mercruiser 496 Mag. I have the DTS throttle and shifter. The throttle works but the shifter does not engage to put in gear. I have checked the DTS fuse and replaced the battery and still no go.
Any experience with a solution to this problem?

Just picked up a 2007 sea ray 175 sport. Boat cold starts and runs great but sometimes struggles to warm start. I always run engine ventilation fans but sometime boat will not crank when warm at it requires me to pop engine hood and crank while feathering throttle. I have...
This is my story about having to replace not one or two engines, but now seven Mercruiser engines on my Sea Ray, and what I’ve learned along the way which will hopefully be helpful to you.
First, you might initially think, judging by the sound of it, I’m into racing “go fast” boats that go...
MerCruiser Engines - electronic parts catalog
Took me for ever to find this reference goldmine. It's the same one the dealer uses but you don't have to have a login/password to get in.
Use your serial# to find the right catalog inside the folder structure...
Starts fine. Usually gets up to 3,800 rpm range for a few minutes, then the problem starts.
The cycle is quick. First the hesitation, then the warning horn, then starts again...that is like 1 second, then 5 seconds later, the cycle repeats.
If I pull the RPMs back to 2000ish, the problem goes...
