I have a 2012 205 Sport with the 5.0 MPFI, runs great, never any issues. When starting, it does not start with a bump of the key, it turns over 2-4 seconds before starting. Is this normal for inboards. I guess I expect it to do like a car and start as soon as you turn the key.

On my 205 Sport, my horn has not worked since I purchased the boat 3 years ago, it makes a very strange electronic techno type of sound. Purchased a replacement horn, and I get the same strange sound, no horn sound. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

On my 205 Sport, I have a battery isolator to shut down power to everything on the boat. I also keep a battery tender hooked up when not in use. For those with the same set up, do you use your isolator? Does it matter if the isolator is in the on or off switch with the battery tender connected?

I want to install a transom trim switch this off season as one of my projects. I have a 2012 205 Sport with the 5.0/Alpha One. Which transom switch, if any, would be plug and play. I have seen several on ebay and Amazon, want to make sure I get the right one. Any suggestions? Thanks Mike

I have a 2012 205 sport, I do not have a trailer trim switch. What would you do if you go out on the water and your trim up limit switch goes out. You would not be able to lift the drive to put it on the trailer and pull it out of the water. I have read multiple threads where the limit switch...

My power steering pump is rattling. I won't have a chance right away to have it replaced, if it goes out while I am out in the boat, will I be able to steer it to get back to the dock? 2012 205 Sport, Mercruiser 5.0.

I need to replace my power steering pump soon, bearing is grinding. I have not removed it yet to examine. Is the pulley pressed onto the shaft, or is it keyed with a set screw? I have found good deals on replacement pumps without the pulley, wondering what I might be getting myself into. Mine...

I have the power steering on my Mercruiser 5.0 MPI Alpha 1, and it has enough play in it to rattle at the clevis pin end. It is mounted by a large (I think 1 1/8") bolt fastened down from the top and has a metal retainer. My question is how tight is this bolt supposed to be. I can move the...

Do you use only non-ethanol gas, and if not, have you had any problems with your fuel system? I have the 5.0 Mercruiser EFI, and the prior owner let it sit up for long periods of time with Ethanol blend gas in it. Only had 49 hours on it, 2012 model, when we bought it last September. Mechanic...

The fuel pump of my 5.0 EFI in my 2012 205 sport sometimes acts/sounds like it is struggling to pump correctly. Has never been an issue with shutting down the motor or cranking. Sometimes it makes a loud whine, it is an odd, off and on loud pulsating whine, and I can feel the pulsation in the...

I have looked through the manual downloads and did not find what I was looking for. I am trying to determine the proper service manual for my 2012 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI EC, serial number 2A014051. I have been able to find service manuals starting with 1A01000, but not 2A. Anyone?

My 2012 205 Sport has a service stern drive light on the dash. What would cause it to light up, and how would you reset it if it lit up? Mine is not lit, just interested in what it does and why.

Is there a dealer or website that offers ordering of parts by Sea Ray part number online? It would be nice to be able to order parts without having to call and/or go to a dealer. My nearest dealer is over 50 miles away. I downloaded the parts listing of my boat and would like to order some...
