Are there any options to add a fuel pressure gauge at the dash....sensor/sending unit under the cowl to monitor pressure during operation?

Found it. Wire under the dash from switch to motor came unplugged :sweating:

I jump from the hot wire to the solenoid to the switch wire and it starts so....does that mean there is power to the solenoid? Or do I need to confirm the switch wire is showing voltage?

The boat has been stored for 2 months and will not start from the switch. When I turn the switch on, the alarm sounds as normal but does not energize the starter solenoid. I can leave the switch on...

I will try a separate tank and see how it goes. Thanks for the input guys!

Is the anti siphon valve in the tank or in the 90 degree fitting on top of tank? They replaced to 90 so I’m guessing it’s in the tank. I’ve looked at the fuel cap it doesn’t appear there’s a true...

It is all new fuel line from tank to motor and all lines under cowling including pulse fuel pump. No change...

Good Morning!

Has anyone experienced problems with the gambler fuel fill vent? My 2002 2100 Merc 250XB runs great up to "full speed" but on long runs it will shut down to an idle (but doesn't...

I looked at the quick mounts but they didn't appear to move the mount fwd enough and I didn't want to drill new holes incase I go back to the original trolling motor....so I'm not sure on the quick...

Glad to help!

I have about1/4" clearance between trolling motor shaft and nose when deployed.

Yes, just this summer. I made an adapter plate matching the holes in the boat to the trolling motor pattern. I don't believe you can mount it direct as it is too far fwd. Also, I had to cut the...

Replaced the lines and it appears to be fixed. Thanks!!!

Hi all, after fishing for 4 hours this evening and a short run to the ramp, my engine will not start. I noticed it idling fast (1200rpm) after I slowed at the marina. Shut it off at the dock and...

No sure. The prop destroyed the hub. Can't say what happened first???

Haven't yet but definatly going to request the dealer to ask the question to Mercury.

They pulled the drain plug just to make sure there was fluid....but didn't measure while I was there. I would assume if it's fluid related the shaft would show some type of heat damage? ...

Any way to prove that?

The dealer just completed LU service and I picked up on a Thursday. Fished a tournament the following Saturday and it broke going to weigh-in. Based on GPS I traveled about 25 miles. The...

Thanks for the input guys...First issue I've had with a lower unit. It is expensive. I'm not hearing anything good about aftermarket LU....anyone here have any experience?

Hi all,

Heading to the weigh-in and hear crunching noise in the gearcase...then the motor stops. The damage report is broken prop shaft and gear damage. ...

Anyone have a spare actuator to sell? I assume I can get one direct from gambler? What pn do I need? How much $? It's for a2002 2100....

Thanks in advance!

Update...The loss of power while runnning was the fuel pressure regulator. Runs great. I'm still having problems with the alarm. 4 beeps every 3 minutes...Mechanic says this is water in fuel?...
