This link looks much more like what I have. I replaced the coil and lead from coil to distributor. Lead was damaged when removing it from old coil due to the male end being stuck in socket and came off of end of cable. Having only removed one spark plug and finding it black with soot makes me...

Yes, two barrel carb. I’ll follow the suggestions there for better insight. Right now I am watching two year olds and it is impossible to concentrate ha ha

Yes, Carburetor on this one. I’ll

Merry Christmas, BTW

Great information to know. I am trying to learn about this boat as I have never had to do any of the maintenance. It has been stored inside with about 400 hours on meter. My dad bought it and he has gotten very sick. I have taken responsibility for it and am not able to hire out maintenance and...

Yes, I will pursue that option. I am suspecting not getting the spark from coil is my thought and new coil didn’t fix that problem. If I go from there on out I will know status of everything. I have no background with this boat and any maintenance history. Just as dirty spark plugs make me want...

Yes long beep is there and fuel pump pressurizes. Checked lanyard kill switch

I will need to verify spark from coil. I guess a simple method of screwdriver from distributor end of cable to a ground would tell me that. I am away from boat currently so will plan next steps to have what I need to make progress

I have voltage at the coil so I believe key switch is working

Started to winterize the boat. It is 2003. The motor is 4.3 with a tag on the block that says Serial Number M377272 Mercury Marine Brunswick Corp. Fon Du Lac WI. It started and ran for a short time then abruptly quit. I suspected electrical problems since it just quit like turning key off...

I went to NAPA after work and bought the 1036. Still nervous whether that would work I went to Sea Ray Dealer close to Davidson NC. A part guy sold me Quicksilver 8M0123025 Filter. I questioned it fitting and he said it was correct. Went to boat to install and Quicksilver filter was too large...

Yes, I did specify block mount however it seems to get lost in the discussion as I have found in many of my attempts. Looking on line for filter this has been added as an an addendum that often gets overlooked. I was guilty of that in my early attempts of finding a filter. The filter was snug...

Where would I find the Serial Number on the motor. My intake cover has the 4.3l Thunderbolt V Ignition Model MCM 4.3L 262 cid All the spots where serial numbers were written are blank or not legible.

I didn’t see your suggestion while there. I called them back and he said he had one of the FIL1036. I’ll get it tomorrow

Okay, another option! I called the local Sea Ray Dealer again. The parts guy said he had a filter to fit. I told him I was unable to get there before close and he gave me the WIX filter number. Went to NAPA and looked at the 1069. It was not correct, too big in diameter. This looks like filter...

I think the Mercury filter 866340K01 is the correct filter. This will cross to a WIX 1069 is what I was told my a Sea Ray parts man. Now to find a NAPA

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll get filter and try again. I was frustrated because the old filter was damaged beyond recognition after removing and I didn’t keep it. Went looking for one local to where boat was and Mobil filter was given to me. When it didn’t thread on, someone else went to a...
