My cabin door was difficult to open and close. Come to find out the door was ripped of the track part the sits in the track. For the life of me I can't figure out how to a.) screw it back in or b.) remove the door to screw it back in. Thanks David

Thanks. I found the pump, cleaned out the filter and thought with all the crap in it that would have been the problem. Turned it on and blew a fuse again I am wondering if there is restriction in the impeller. Might take it apart before I order another. I I know it's nice to have a trim...

I do hear the beeps and pump sound. By moving the shifter my memory is push the button on the bottom and move it forward for gas. Are you saying don't press the button and just leave it in neutral position?

Thanks Mike, I will test it again but it's off the shelf with an April 16 sticker. To that point when I turn the ignition what's my optimal battery reading on my dash? 12? Or greater?

2001 weekender merc 5.0 220 hp. Worked last summer when my in laws had it. Brought it home today and nothing. No click no attempt at a click. New battery, checked fuses. Would love some input as well as where the starter and slave are located (seems like it should be obvious).
