Ahh, so am I correct that the third sticker showing the 859610R94 was affixed to the original PCM when the reflash was done? When you say Should be compatible through Version 3.0, does that mean it...

That is a nice offer. Will gladly trade you beer or libation of preference! :beers: I want to make sure everything else with the motor is good and that it makes sense to keep it before I buy new...

I'm curious, Where did you come up with my engine receiving a PCM in 10/02. Date code on the outside of what I believe to be the PCM (I calld it ECM above) is 12-18-2000. For some reason I can't...

Thank You. I just need something to work for now while I get it all sorted. I got Smartcraft pricing from Rhonda, but need other stuff first. With regard to using Smartcraft on a 2001 Opti, can you...

As said already, check the battery voltage using meter with the Key on and compare to the SC gauge. To see if you have voltage drop across your battery switch (if you have one), check voltage at the...

Does the replacement conversion trim motor hopefully eliminate the rusting outer shell of the motor? Don't understand why everyone doesn't just use the showa fasttrim systems with Plastic jacket trim...

Before I spend a lot of time troubleshooting, will a conventional Teleflex style analog tach work with an Optimax? Tach doesn't work currently. My 95 Leisure Cat project was repowered by the prior...

Drain your VST into clear jar and check for water. If you have the VST with the spin on filter, spin it off and empty it into in a jar as well, although theoretically you should get an alarm if there...

What color is the dust? Brown like rust? Black like belt? Shiny like metal? Will dust stick to a magnet? Is the plastic flywheel cover sagging on the grommets and rubbing on the belt?
I had a lot of...

So after reading this entire thread, there are numerous references to pebbles, chunks of wood, and other debris being stuck in thermostats. Is there any any reason why Mercury does not have inlet...

Are those in the picture the Knipex brand pliers? Looks like it.

Since I have yet to hear it run, my plan was to clean and service the VST (almost done with that), rebuild the lp diaphragm pump, replace all the fuel lines to the VST. Then using a clean outboard...

Yep the Gulf of Mexico has much higher salinity than other areas. Merc used to run the Yellow Test boats quite a bit more than you see now. When I worked on Fort Myers Beach in the early 90's, you...

Thanks for the input. I know its not great. I'll assess everything it needs vs just locating a clean later model midsection complete. Be on my way to building a mailbox.:smile: I fear when I remove...

Massive Corrosion Problems? There shouldn't be corrosion, it says Saltwater Series right on the cowling??:rolleyes: Boat and motor are new to me bought as a project, prior owner was a snowbird that...

I am curious, Not doubting, Were the Spark Plug and Spark Plug Gap revisions released as Service Bulletins?

Considering what just a set of decals costs, still not inexpensive even if you have an old donor motor. I have seen mail boxes made with the old Evinrude/Johnson Big Twin engine covers from the...

Thank you. I attached some photos. Is this as simple as it looks?? Just remove two bolts and replace the outer aluminum lower mount retainer? Wonder why it cracked? it was like that when I bought it....

Is it possible to change just the lower engine mount on the swivel bracket without completely disassembling the swivel bracket? I have one (port side)that looks like it is cracked from salt...

Spro Man looks like you are missing the grommet that seals the air compressor inlet to the cover. grommet goes in hole in top left of your picture.You need that grommet so you don't suck unfiltered...

Where is the potential fuel leak restriction point?? I guess I need to take a picture of my line. I have a one piece, pre-bent black fuel line with all the same markings and codes as the other under...

If you have a Batteries Plus franchise near you, they sell X2 Power brand Group 31 that is the equivalent of the becoming harder to find Sears PM1 battery (reporteldy being discontinued by Sears),...

Thank you everyone for the input!.:thumb up2: I have read the fuel line sticky. Twice. Doesn't really address/discuss OEM factory lines and the lines under the cowling. In another post it seems Don...

Thank You for the input. :thumb up2:

I did not remove the alternator yet but had a look at it. Can see rusting on the blades of the internal fan (for lack of better term). Also the sticker on it...
