- I/O MercCruiser 4.3 LX gen w/alpha one sterndrive
I just purchased a 1996 Sea Ray 190 Signature, with a Mercruiser 4.3 LX Gen + Alpha One sterndrive. I took it out on the river and it ran great, even idling thru 3 no wake zones.
But on the way back, at the 3rd no wake zone it idle thru okay but when I went to give it the gas it quit and then would not idle at all. I took it out a few days later to show a friend of mine what is was doing. Ran great again, idled thru the no wake zone and then when I went to give it the gas it quit and then would not stay running after that. I thinking some kind of fuel problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
One thing that did happen is a rope got rapped around the prop but I got it off and prop is spinning okay. Is there any possibility that a piece of rope got sucked in?
