Are they carb engines or has someone done a repower with MPI's? Sounds like something somebody added aftermarket, certainly no advantage. To my experience I haven't ever seen that OEM on a Mercruiser product, always center studded in the carb or TBI for a single spark arrestor.
Anybody replaced their horn? Mine has taken a dump. I'd love to find one that will fit in the original mount so I don't have to deal with filling holes, etc.
I'm gonna have to dig in and do my duck bills and diaphragm soon as my vacuflush is beginning to cycle on more frequently. Need to also fix the indicator lights, the only one that works is the FULL light. Which I guess is the main one LOL.
Finally got some pics of my finished dash remodel. Used FP Marines panels, the sea ray "legend" series gauges, installed 12" Garmin chart plotter, Garmin VHF, and new steering wheel from FP Marine as well. Got the majority of my "winter work" list knocked out, with the weather changing here in...
I don't have a lot of the insider details such as you were asking, I just own a Marine service center here in TN and 80% of what we service is Mercruiser. I have seen freeze damage on the 4.5's and 6.2's, and typically it results in cracking at the cylinders. I uploaded a couple pics of a busted...
If it's a 4.5 and IF it pushed out freeze plugs, I guarantee it cracked in the sleeves between cylinders and will need a long block. Being this is a full Mercury engine (they designed, and casted that block) it's much different than buying a replacement GM small block. Long block must come from...
Did you mean to say purple and white? The only gray wire I could think of that will be in our harness would be coming off of the coil for the tach lead.
I replaced the panels with repops from FP Marine, and I kept the same push button style breakers..you can buy new replacements from FP marine as I replaced a few of mine as they were showing their age but they are pricey at I believe $18 bucks a piece. Wish like hell sea ray would've put our DC...
