Who can give me their analysis? Here are photos of the bad Rotor and Cap - When I looked at them the first time during my troubleshooting, they appeared normal to me on visual inspection. (after further troubleshooting I replaced with a new rotor and cap and the problem resolved; Engine...

PROBLEM SOLVED - 1. FIXED THE WIRING HARNESS THAT LED TO INTERMITTANT 12V TO FUEL PUMPS AND 2. REPLACED DISTRIBUTOR CAP AN ROTOR. ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS. Yes, two problems at the same time..

I replaced the fuel filter and the bottom diaper last month. The old filter and diaper were not that dirty. As for fuel - I have only ran marine ethanol-free gas.

I checked into the symptoms of a bad IAC. And it is only at 0 throttle the engine won’t start. If you throttle up in neutral it starts. But in my case it still won’t start. I’m still leaning to the no fuel pressure issue.

I’m trying this tomorrow where is this located?

spark is great, its looking more like a fuel issue. when I have someone crank the engine the fuel rail valve when depressed does not squirt gas. odd thing is that I hear the fuel pump run when I click to the run position. I filled the fuel filter compartment in the cooled fuel module. and...

Full tank of fuel run (kill) switch was not tripped and is in the run position fuel shut off solenoid clicks on/off electric fuel pump runs Checked the spark/ ignition wires with a timing light and have spark. Depressed Schrader valve on fuel rail during cranking and no fuel comes out Trying...

Noted - I did 5200 last month the hinge top area (which I removed for this repair), a hook tool peeled it up like old bathtub caulk - I was lucky. I was more obsessed with sealing out the last drop entering the engine compartment. I suppose Im a little over the top about my engine, keeping it...

Six Leaking screws.... Fixed (both sides). (2010 SeaRay 240 Sundancer) after a hard rain, my bilge always ended up with a couple cups of water. last storm I crawled into the engine compartment and saw that water was going in from the swim platform deck hinge plates, dripping down from all the...

yup - my idler pulley toasted a couple months ago. We should invent a spray shield over the sea water pump to protect the other components.

2010 Sea Ray 240 Sundancer - replacing Circulating Pump. Need to find a reputable parts dealer. Doing winter maintenance, just replaced the leaking sea water pump (which destroyed my alternator that I replaced yesterday), I might as well replace the circulating pump before it fails. Part...

I agree and I am planning to, I put the mount screws back in place and wire-nut/ tapped the AC wire, so my replacement will be easy to install ( in a couple months )

got it - thanks, the rear single screw was a pain, but all you have to do when you unscrew the front is swing the heater to the back and reach in and unscrew. Mounted the pressure pump on the stringer and joined the in and the out together. Tampa area, we never used the hot water heater.

removing the old leaky water heater but don’t see any brackets. Is this glued in? If so how do you remove without causing damage to the boat?

Lazy Daze - you are totally correct. The Step-Down pump area was bone dry. I cranked trailer Jack up to give more tilt on the boat and saw only a small amount of water roll back in the engine compartment from under the fuel tank, which I dried up. So, no leaks from the main holding tank :-) I...

While doing all my yearly checks (boat on the trailer), I filled the empty fresh water holding tank with water, got in the engine compartment to do other inspections then noticed a small flow of fresh water dribbling down the bilge from the bow from under the fuel tank. Where do I start - tank...

Update: discovered that dB electrical sells new marine grade alternators for $70

Apparently leaking for months, since I tightened the serpentine it got worse

Horrible squeal upon starting engine (at home on the trailer). Last month I replaced the sea water pump that had been leaking out the front seal/ pulley (spraying salt water all over the front of the engine. As I feared, the salt water got into the alternator, corroding and seizing the unit...
