My 05 350 Mag Mpi 300 hours on a rebuilt cut out at 3700 rpms like I turned the key off. The motor hiccupped one time but kept on running smooth. And after a while it just shut off and would not restart. Got towed back to the dock and started to check things over. I managed to get it started by...

My buddies 2004 4.3 MPI engine cut out and fails to start. The engine cranks but will not start. We changed the IAC thinking that might be the problem. But the issue remains. He had a mechanic look at it and he feels its the computer. So we removed the computer off the stb engine and put on the...

I have an interesting issue. 350 MPI 230 Hours. Manifolds and Risers were changed 5 years ago. Three weeks ago my engine locked up. Turned out water in 4 cylinders on the starboard side. I Changed the manifolds, risers and flappers on Monday thinking that was the problem. They didn't look bad...

My 350 mag with 230 hours on it had water in 4 cylinders. And the way I found that out was it didn't want to turn over. It cranked and locked up. Pulled the plugs, got the water out and ran the motor. The risers and manifolds are 5 years old. I pulled the risers today and other than surface rust...

I currently have a Guest Pro Charger that has stopped working. I bought a Pro Mariner 1215p charger. On the Guest charger there are 4 leads. 2 pos and 2 neg. On the Pro Mariner 3 pos and 1 neg. My question is what do I do with the 2nd neg wire. Can both wires get put on one terminal. Or do I...

Good Afternoon, I have a silly question. I was looking around the engine compartment and notice at the back of the motor i can see the shaft for the out drive. I do realize this would be visible. My question is I can see at least an 1/2 in. of the splines sticking out of the back of the motor...

Good Morning, A buddy of mine has a 04 280 Sundancer with twin 4.3 Mercruisers was coming home from Fire Island yesterday morning and slightly bumped the bottom. He drifted just outside of the buoys. He was going 5mph. No big deal he moved into deeper water and tried to get up on plane. As he...

Good Morning, This is a friends boat. I have researched this and have not come up with an answer as to why this engine is overheating. The engine is a 5.0 2003 merc used in salt water. The mechanic thought the water pump was failing so it was changed along with the thermostat. The boat still...

Im at my wits end. I have a 05 207AJ. My rebuilt 350 horizon will not start when hot. The engine was replaced two years ago. I had the issue before it was replaced. The motor was replaced because it Hydro locked. Also the fuel rails were sent out for cleaning. Anyway my issue is that when the...

My 05 350 mag has an issue when its hot. It doesn't start without advancing the throttle. This is a new engine it was replaced two years ago. Also its running on the cool side. Will not go higher than 154 degs. The thermostat was changed today with one rated at 160 and still runs cool. Any...

I replaced my transom assembly. This is after I paid to have the trim sensors replaced as well as the mercathode and hydraulic lines going to the trim cylinders. This was all done in May 2015. I replaced the assembly because it was leaking at the steering pin. Im asking $800 If interested give...

My 350 mag give me a hard start when the motor is hot. im running at 160 deg and am idling at 550 rpm. I have to place the throttle in the fwd position in order for the motor to start. This is an intermittent issue. My mech changed the IAC valve thinking that was the problem. Now he wants to...

Good Morning, I've noticed a rumble from my Bravo 3 drive. When I move the drive up or down under a load I hear a rumbling noise. After I set the drive the noise stops. Any ideas? Thanks,

I have a leak from the steering pin dripping into the bilge. The mec recommends changing the gimbal housing and says the motor has to come out to do the job. Is this correct?

I had the motor replaced on my 05 270 Amberjack last year, now my trim fluid has leaked into my bilge. I looked at the lines coming from the trim pump and they are dry. I traced the lines in the bilge and cant see behind the motor. I do not see any oil in the water. My question is, when the...

Guys, I am interested to know what motor you are running in your 270 AJ. My 350 mag seized and I have to repower. Also what rpm do you run and what Is your speed at that rpm. Thanks,

I took the boat out this morning, While waiting to anchor I was idling and would bump it in and out of gear, I noticed a vibration (rumble) when I would take a little power. After being anchored for 5 hours I attempted to start the engine and it barely cranked. The batteries are not dead. After...

Good Morning,On my 05 270 Amberjack i've been adding a couple of oz of drive oil to the reservoir every time i take the boat out. I've been told that the bravo 3 drives get hot and when they do they blow oil out of the seals. Water does not get into the drive. I had the drive pressure tested...
