I started winterizing, but wasn't aware hose was kinked somewhere, so overheated really quickly. Impeller is in pieces. So now I need to backflush system to remove these- before I can replace impeller and start all over again. Can I do this (flush) by inserting a garden hose to the port side...

And the last item was the IAC. Frustrating thing was that I need a mechanic to come pull the code to confirm it was IAC- I didn't want to spend $150 (IAC was like $140 locally) and not have solved the problem. I am appreciative of the advice though. Thanks a ton.

I will close out at least part of this- the fuel pump that wouldn't stop running. I solved this one on my own- and hopefully this response will be helpful to someone else. Fuel pumps on this engine (5.0, 260hp MPI) get current from a relay mounted next to the ECM (facing inwards mounted on top...

Thanks. I will look it up. Anything on #1?

Two Symptoms: 1)When I move battery selector on my 2002, 260 Sundancer (5.0 MPI) from "OFF" position to "1" "2" or "BOTH", I hear what appears to be the fuel pump in the fuel cooler (high pressure to injectors) prime- I also hear the electric valve near the tank click on. Note- that I have yet...

I'll close this one out and thank you all for your help and guidance. The issues were multiple: 1) I pulled the galley light and it appears this came wired incorrectly from the factory!! White connecting to ground (on the fixture) via a connector, and green connecting to neutral via a...

Great idea. I appreciate them. I will try them this weekend and see where I get. Can't thank you enough.

AC breaker is in the ON position- I will turn it off and see what happens to at least eliminate the breaker and panel. I will try another power source- but it would appear the GFI is actually doing its job here- but checking another one can't hurt. I don't want to ignore it if it is actually...

A few on this forum were very helpful in helping me try and figure this one out last fall. But I am still not there- and am ready to splash down! I am attached to dockside power- 30am cord to a 15 amp pigtail coverter to a dockside GFI outlet. I have used this outlet and these cords in the...

Arguments I have read sound like as follows: a) Use Muffs to bring in af. It's easy to miss a plug, and if you do, you won't fully drain the block and will end up with a cracked block. b) Drain block and backfill through thermostat housing. It's what Merc recommends, and the muff method just...

Gents- Thanks for the many suggestions. This forum is excellent, and you have been most generous with your knowledge. I will be investigating further this weekend based on your ideas. To answer a few questions- the "hook-up" I was referring to was my having tapped into shore power in this very...

Damned if I can get this one. I sincerely hope someone out there can help. Attached to GFI outlet at dockside(15 amp) via 15AMP pigtail converter, into my 30A cord. Good connections, good power to panel. All other circuits are fine. I have used this hoockup and never had a problem before. When I...
