BassBoats are closer to the 50-75 hrs per year average.
Note: The above would be true if the Engine Mounted Tank is 100% full, with NO AIR SPACE present.
If the level is low, you must correct the LEVEL problem FIRST.
The correct terminator (any of them) will have a 120 ohm resistor connecting between Can-P (blue wire and white wire).
SB 2000-11 describes these two wires as being used for the older "Smart Tach and Speed" instruments, which carried CAN-P data on the tachometer and trim sender wires of the keyswitch harness (we...
Yes sir... sure will cause it, and a list that will drop all the way to the floor!
I'd have to go back and dig up some bulletins but there was a connection for those two wires that related to RPM as I recall.
Also- it appears you have a DUST CAP instead of a Terminating Resitor...
If the fuel pressure is not climbing instantly to 10 psi over AIR, you have a HP fuel delivery problem.
Theres a small passage in the HP pump chamber that helps deliver fuel for the HP fuel pump. ...
This engine would be a 3L model, so I will move it to the 3L Forum for you.
Please take a moment to read the Announcements at the top of that forum, and be sure to provide the Required Info...
You can also do the same on our website at: www.mercurypartsonline.net
It does something even the Merc site lacks: When you place the part in the shopping cart, it will AUTOMATICALLY supersede...
Leon, I'm sure the engine is running ... if it's running, it DOES have an RPM signal.
Where/how is the VVM connected? I've seen this type of problem with Can-P problems (unshielded can circuit,...
Don't attempt to remove that cover unless you have a thermostat, poppet, grommet and gasket ready to install.
And please: HAVE YOU REPLACED THE WATER PUMP IMPELLER AND GASKETS YET?????
+1... PLEASE start your own post for questions on your engine (rather than inserting it into someone else's, which is also known as Post Hi-Jacking). See the Forum Announcements for basic info about...

Additionally, it can result in an air leak, meaning that the fuel pump can't supply fuel correctly because it's receiving AIR where it should only receive LIQUID FUEL. Depending on the...
I would say it supplements it. The fact that it's condensed into a section for that engine is quite helpful, especially for anyone that services 2 or more different engines.
Check the power supply (purple wire) circuit now. If you see no resistance there, you may have one or more gauges that are simply not working correctly (I do suspect it's resistance).
If you're going to be around salt water, YES, replace the cap.
Regardless: CLEAN UP ALL DEBRIS. Any debris left under the cowling may end up INSIDE the engine.
BEST rule of thumb: ALWAYS, ALWAYS start AT THE SOURCE: The Water Pump. Only AFTER that's been addressed should you look to other components, especially since the symptoms you describe lean...
No trim balls on this model, but otherwise, grease until you see evidence of grease beginning to leak. DON'T attempt to "change out the grease", simply fill the void until full of grease and STOP....
That bolt definitely is at an odd angle- and you're right it's a bear to get out of there too if the bracket is damaged.
Suggestion: When mounting the sender, mount it higher than the...
How awesome! Triple-check the lip at the front edge, for the mounts, and fit the mounts into the recess to confirm they're TIGHT.
Follow service manual recommendations for installation-...
Either the switch is not properly connected, OR the switch is BAD. Since you've had two additional "no start" occurrences, I would strongly suspect the later (BAD switch).
Water Pump Impeller and ALL THREE gaskets. Very likely gasket under impeller plate is torn or blown out.
Moving your engine/post to the 2.5L Forum for you. :thumb up2:
Definitely not seated right in the picture.
143 +/- 15 degrees F is the thermostatic temp. Should reach at least 120 at idle (most hit 143-ish).
Water pump impeller and all gaskets should be replaced ANNUALLY (364.99 days). Notorious for...
They're on backorder (pretty much everywhere). None in any of Mercury's warehouses.
