Yes
Check for a missing cross shaft bushing on the starboard side.
Well don't I feel like an idiot lol
Follow the black hose from the compressor to the bottom of the powerhead.
Not likely if you powered it up while it was still wet.
Don is just a solid guy........period

If 300HP is a absolute requirement, then I would just get the 300XS.
The Q is a Quicksilver part which is sold in select stores.
The A is sold by Mercury dealers.
See Listings on the "Swap and Sell" "Motor Parts" for sale boards.
Did you drain the VST also?
Agree that the wear is probably greater on the loaded side. Thanks for the clarification.
Was there oil outside of the cover?
Was there oil on the lower unit drive shaft?
You have cooling system issues to start with. Possible engine damage.
Need history and faults viewed to check readings.
Need compression test performed.
When was the water pump changed last?...
You can gauge pricing by looking at other sales in the "Electronics For Sale" page
I see where you are heading Joe......Likely #5, or #6 the harder to get to plugs, without lower pan removal.
Total of .020 is .010 per side, or did you already divide by 2 ?
Spark plug threads don't just get "bad" from use.
If the steel sparkplug threads are "bad" it probably happened during a installation. The aluminum threads in the cylinder head will most likely...
Start with what BPS told you, get the BAD sparkplug threads repaired by someone other than BPS. Have the new shop double check all the other sparkplugs/wires/threads. If the motor was totally fine...
Brand new batteries fail also. Low voltage fault means the voltage WAS low. Did you charge the start battery fully before heading to the lake?
Agree. I would run cylinder cancellation tests under load on the water, with Diacom software.
I would change the plugs now and make sure you torque them.

I strip about a 1/2", then fold the copper conductor in half, so the connector crimp has more to bite on. I've used red and blue, depending on the main cable size.
