I have installed a pair of thru hull Ocean LED model 1520 LED lights. They are on the pricy side for underwater lights, but they do look real nice. I prefer the thru hull since its all bronze. The cheaper amphibians they sell make me even more nervous since you need to drill a small home thru...
Anyone can give me more details on the way the underwater Exchaust outlet flange (Brass) is installed? Not sure where I can find a diagram and description as I don't think its on the parts menu. I have not managed to find more info online so far.
I am trying to determine if the flange is...
Its not very loose, just some freeplay when moved. Anyone have experience with similar issue?
1) Does the flange require 5200 and a water tight seal to the hull?
2) Can I just try to secure the screws and nuts - 2 person job as 1 in bilge and 1 in water.
3) Is there a concern for water...
I checked and there seems to be some gunk on the screws that are in the bilge. I dont see any water leaks in the bilge at the moment.
Does anyone know how the underwater brass flange is fitted? Do they use 5200 or is it just bolted (4 screws/nuts) to the bottom hull? I don't see any leaks...
My alarm is fixed. I pulled both connectors off the KS and sprayed both contacts with electronics cleaner. I then reinstalled the connector.
The alarm went away after that. :) I am very happy with that and very greatful for everyone's help, especially Dave who sent me a lot of info.

I just resolved an alarm issue, and it was due to a bad connection to the knock sensor. I would suggest trying to find someone with a scan tool to see what the alarm is going off.
I was swimming today and when I was cleaning the underwater components of my boat, I noted that the brass exhaust was loose as it was rattling when I was holding on to it. I checked with a screwdriver and one of the screws spins freely. I think it may need to be tightened with both underwater...
Hi all
Thanks very much for the suggestion. I really hope my situation is a simple fix as this. Look forward to going to the boat over the weekend to check this out.
Coincidently, I am currently "Down Under" on a short busienss tirp and my boat is in Seattle. :)
BTW, are the knock...
Thanks for all the suggestions. I will check out my knock sensor and update.
i read the service manual and it mentions the knock sensors are very sensitive and require 14-16 pounds of torque or it will not work correctly. Anyone has experience with this? From what I understand, just a...
From what I read, this Error #44 is not relating to knock detected. Its related to the ECM not being able to detect knock.
Is there special care and torque wrench required to remove and replace the knock sensor? Also, is there 2 knock sensors on my engine 2000 454 7.4 MPI. This is the...
I just scanned my ECM and found this error code. I cleared the code and ran the boat and the alarm goes off again.
My engine alarm goes off after a few minutes of going on plane above 3000 RPM. This is a new problem that just came up a few weeks ago. The engine runs well when the alarm is off...
I noted that some of the white color glow in the dark film has come off the needle and now sitting on the glass of my fuel guage. Is there anyway to open up the guage to remove the speck?
Thanks
I was wondering what is the best method to reboot the ECM? I recently had an alarm go off and wanted to reset the ECM to see if the condition still persists after I serviced the engine.
Also, is there any scan tool that is recommended for my boat?
Thanks
Hi have a 2000 Sea Ray 340 sundancer. During a recent trip, I had a engine alarm go off that was 1 sec beep - 3 sec no beep - 1 sec beep. This happens after I plane above 3200 RPM for around 10 mins.
I called mercury customer support and they said the alarm is either battery or fuel. I was...
I have a 2000 Sea Ray 340 dancer with Mercruiser 454 7.4 MPI that also recently started the engine alarm on Port engine after getting on plane for a few minutes. The alarm patten which repeats is 1 beep - 3 seconds no beep - 1 beep. When I shut off the engine and start again, the alarm goes off...
