I really appreciate everyone's responses. It is a 2 car garage door and not a two singles, so I have that working for me. Im in the military, so I will likely only be there for 4-5 years and with...

Im in the process of moving cross country to the Williamsburg, VA area. Most of the homes we are finding have fairly small two car garages. The house we are looking at has one that measures 21'...

1996 Mariner 225 EFI Magnum: OG350795

Purchased my current boat and motor last march and have been doing some preventative maintenance. Just had my lower unit resealed and a new water pump...

Question regarding motor height and setup on a 1993 Ranger 492vs with a 1996 Mariner 225 Magnum 3.0. Currently running a 25p Trophy plus four blade prop. Motor is mounted directly to the transom on...

I have a 93 492vs that I am currently getting parts together to replace all the hubs. When I bought the boat a few months back I notices the rear seals were leaking and the inside of the wheels were...

I have the Navionics platinum card for the west region for my Lowrance HDS live 12's. Shaded relief works great on one of the lakes in my region (Clear Lake), but when I try to use it on another...

Additional pics added to the top post. Hope they help give some idea of where its located. Im fairly sure its a mechanical water pressure sensor. The line that attaches to it is a pitot line if Im...

Good to know. Scared the crap out of me. I heard and felt it start trimming and was afraid it wouldn't stop. Figured Id rather have a little water on the back deck than the alternative so I just...

Took the boat out yesterday and while heading to our first spot, the engine started trimming on its own while Im on plane. Quickly recognized what was going on, pulled power and shut off the motor...

Will do. Ill take several from different angles.

Just to follow up on this, I pulled the boat out yesterday to troubleshoot this and another item and the issue I had did not happen. The trim worked perfectly and I was unable to determine the...

Okay, so I tightened it up several turns, still leaked. Took it all the way out, cleaned the threads inside and out, applied loctite 5452 thread sealant, still leaked though not nearly as much. Im...

There are three wires coming off of the trim switch on the motor, red green and blue. Is the red the hot and the one that needs to be disconnected in order to isolate it?

1996 Mariner Magnum 3.0 225 EFI Serial# OG350795. Was about to trailer the boat after fishing all day without issue. Motor was off and I was heading to the dock with the trolling motor when...

1996 Mariner Magnum 3.0 225 EFI Serial# OG350795. While fixing another issue, I found this fitting on the rear of the motor, right next to the port where your overboard discharge comes from, leaking...

Replaced the brass T and bled the system today. That fixed it. After looking inside the cowling, you could see where that T was dumping oil. Apparently the check valve was stuck in the position...

If this has been covered before, my apologies. I searched a bit and didn't find quite what I was looking for. Recently upgraded my boat to HDS live 12's and I have both an LCX 28C HD, and an LMS...

Really appreciate the advise. Will take for action. Got to take a look today and noticed that the tube running into the engine mounted take was wet with oil from the top of the tank all the way...

Would this be a situation where I should consider deleting the oil injection? I know for some EFI’s that is recommended and some it’s not. If deleting would improve reliability and decrease the...

1996 Mariner Magnum 3.0 225 EFI Serial# OG350795. Shortly after leaving the dock today, started getting the alarm consisting of 4 beeps every 4 minutes. Quick google search revealed this is a low...

I appreciate all the responses. That's exactly what I think Im going to do. Had not seen that stick on solution, but I really like it. I was looking at something they have on Amazon called stern...

I know this might be an odd question, but let me explain. I recently bought a boat and am in the process of updating it. To that end I bought an HDS live with the 3 in 1 transducer. I had already...

Thank you for clearing that up. Looks like I'm shopping for an AGM.

I recently purchased a used boat (93 Ranger 492vs) with a 1996 Mariner Magnum 3.0 225 EFI Serial# OG350795. 93 hours on the motor. I have 2 questions.

1. I wanted to get a general consensus of...

Looking at a 492vs that's for sale locally and it seems there may be a difference in layout between two boats I've seen. The 93 492vs looks like it have a smaller day box compartment on the front...
