ignition

2001 310 Sundancer with 2011 5.7 mpi Horizons. Just changed the coil unit and now instead of the usual one beep when I turn on the ignition I'm getting two. Does anyone know what this alarm is trying to tell me? Thanks

Hello, I said a bit more in my intro, but hoping to get a jump start on fixing a few bugs that have popped up in getting my '89 Bowrider 200 (Merc 3.0L) back to reliably running. Picked it up from a good buddy who's dad had passed on a few years ago, he wanted it to go to a friend. It had been...

Hello just introducing myself here before I start trying to shake down my new Bowrider 200. It's been sitting for a few years but was well taken care of before that. When I picked it up the starter and starter solenoid relay were shot. I replaced those, changed fluids and put in a new fuel...

I have a 97 330 sundancer which is fuel injected....when running and gets warmed up after about 15 minutes it slowly starts to flood out on one motor and then dies. After it cools off it will fire up again. They replaced the distributor cap(thought the chip looked broken) and rebuilt the carb...

Breakers on console are trashed, replacing them with blade fuses. Manual says ignition takes a 10 amp breaker, but wire is 10 gauge. Is 10 amp correct?

Hey guys! I hope you're having a better season than I am so far. I've been having an intermittent start issue for the past month. Most recently, it's been a no-start issue. When I turn the key, the alarm sounds for a brief moment, and you can clearly hear the fuel pump engaging. However, the...

I have a 2000 Sundancer 240 with a 5.0L Mercruiser EFI engine. Last week the starboard intake hose cracked and was dumping sea water into the engine compartment. I've replaced the hose, no more leaking, but since then the engine won't crank over without using the advanced throttle and giving it...

Key broke in the ignition, had a friend who didn't always have a security clearance, hot wire it so we could get home. Basic locksmith, or just replace the ignition?

So I'm asking for advice to see if I may have done something incorrectly or overlooked something...though I know where to begin. Always helpful to bounce ideas off of all of you! At the end of last season, my starboard engine was having a hard time starting. So before I ran it this season, I...

So I made it all the way back to about 100 feet from my marina and I stalled (which happens if I put it in neutral too fast). No big deal so I go to start it up again (2004 SR 220) and when I turn the key I feel something break inside the switch and now the key just freely turns. Cannot start...

Dear Forum, I am Bob quite new here and living in Germany. I am joining this forum since V8 boats & experts are hard to find here. After rebuilding my motor I was running my boat for a season without a proplem. Now it gives me some issues. It is stops running like somebody turns off the...

I just removed this system and replaced. Because of the lack of bench test for the system, I mis diagnosed a problem that ended up being valve related (don't care to discuss that :>( any further). Anyway system works as intended. Prices are all over on ebay, so not sure of its value. Make me a...

Working on the ignition system in our 1977 Searay 240 Sundancer & need the wireing diagram.Does power run from the ignition switch direct to the coil,or are there other systems involved? Thanks

Morning Fokes : yesterday I was beginning the installation of my GPS and radio on my 1983 -310 . I removed the Starbard side dash / switch panel . and started looking around and found a purple wire running from the back of the Ignition / Starboard key and going no-where my wireing diagram just...

I'm looking at purchasing a 2001 Sundancer 340 with the 7.4MPI engines. The survey uncovered that the starboard engine was not putting out the same RPM as the port engine - 3900 vs. 4400. The current owner has been diligent (through a certified marine mechanic) but unsuccessful in resolving...

I have a 1999 210 bow rider with a 5.0L Mercruiser EFI. Just recently I have had some trouble starting it, and, more of a problem, once it has been running a while the tachometer goes crazy, bouncing between zero and 5000 rpm while the engine skips and pops. It sounds like the coil to me, but...

I have a 2003 240 SD that I recently bought used. When cold the engine starts fine. Two weeks ago after being on the water for sometime with multiple starts and stops, the engine would not start. When I turned the key nothing happened at all. No turn over, no starter click, nothing. All...
