Thanks. i have a mechanic who seems to think the cable is just bad, prob stretched. i will update status after its been changed.

I have a question. I am leaning towards my cone clutch being bad also. I have a 2002 225 sea ray w 5.0 mercruiser and bravo 3 out drive. Boat completely stopped going into gear last weekend. No forward or reverse, my ? Is wouldn’t there have been some slipping to give notice something was going...

Im assuming yes, since the boat is supposed to do 45 at 4500 rpms and will only do 35 and 3500 rpms, with the motor sounding amd running like a kitten

Already did that, didnt work, plus may I note the digital hours indicator is not on either

I had an old depth finder that wasnt hooked up to a transducer but was still plugged up and sending magnetic pulse thru the speakers after a long time of tracing wires I finally realized this is where my noise was coming from. Feedback is almost always a ground issue!!!! And yes most of the time...

I have a 2002 sea ray weekender 225, w a mercruiser 5.0 MPi my tach is not working. Starts out at about 4500 and then goes to 5500 when its running. I believe and hope this is the reason my boat is running in limp mode. Can anyone tell me how to check this on both ends to find out the culprit...

And im sure the paper clip is doing something because the advancement is different with it not in there. But it may not be putting everything into base made if the tech is saying I need to do it w it in gear rather than bringing the rpms up w it in neutral

Using a paper clip in the plug, which according to a forum on here does the same thing as a scan tool, put in the a and b holes grounds and disengages the computer advance timing. Not sure what the fuel pump pressure is, that beast is way under there and damn near gotta take out the motor to get...

So what exactly is the number the "base" timing should be set at on this motor?

Compression good, plugs are new, also I feel if it was plugs or injectors, it would sputter or run rough, not smooth like it is.

Distributor is right. The first time we did the timing we did it as if it was a regular car motor set at dead nuts zero. Then through here i learned i needed to disengage the computer advance w a paper clip and set base timing. After we went about 6 over on the base timing, it was a vast...

It is a factory recommended fuel pump, I was under the impression they either wor the prop is the original, and didn't have a problem w it before working on the motor. Bottom is clean, fresh coat of bottom paint less than a year ago

Was the manifold gasket, and it wasn’t ran very long w water in it. Block has been cleaned w marvels mystry oil and five oil changes. Rpms at wot is about 4000.
