    98 Nitro 185 Sport, No power to lights/bilge/radio/depthfinder/live wells/horn.

    Ok, broke out the multimeter and tested the fuse panel with the ignition key turned on. Got nothing, on the picture I tested the red/purple connection point and the connections on the other side of the panel with the black wires connected, assuming those are ground. The second picture shows...

    87 SeaRay 3.0 Mercruiser/ Alpha Gen 2 no forward gear?

    So, had the boat out a few weeks ago and lost forward gear. Had been pulling tubers and after picking them back up boat would not shift forward, engine just revved. Reverse worked which got us back to the dock that was thankfully close by. I assumed this was most likely a lower shift cable...

    Mercarb 2bbl Flooding after engine is killed

    So, last summer I had this same issue. Stop the engine and fuel would drip down, then the boat didn't want to restart until all the fuel evaporated or I opened up the throttle to let it air out. Last summer I installed a new needle, seat and float. Adjusted everything and the flooding problem...

    87 Mercruiser 3.0 hard to start after sitting when warm.

    Shoot, title is wrong. Is a 89 Merc not 87. Old boat was an 87. I'm back again with yet another issue! :mad: Took my boat out today after doing a little tuneup work in it, started it up in the driveway before heading out just to make sure she was going to cooperate. Get to the lake, put...

    89 3.0 Merc, Oil in bilge where to look for leak?

    Sheesh, it is one thing after another with this boat! I have another active thread about the engine running strangely intermittently, but this issue is way more concerning. The boat has been in my drive way since Friday. After taking the boat out of the water Friday morning removed the drain...

    89 Mercruiser 3.0 Intermittent engine stutter/cut out

    Hey all, Had the boat out the last several days and had a new issue that I need to pin down. I will explain what was happening and then give my thoughts on what I think the problem might be. So, the boat seemed to be running fine at the start of the day on day 1. After cruising around and...

    Mercruiser 3.0 trim issues after replacing hydraulic hose.

    Hey everyone. Just fired up my 89 SeaRay for the first time this year, and was checking things out and noticed a problem with the trim. At the end of the year last year I noticed one of the hydraulic hoses to my trim pump was leaking. I ordered a new hose and replaced it. I checked that...

    87 Bayliner 2.3 OMC Reverse not engaging with throttle lever

    So, recently the throttle will not engage reverse. When I try to put the boat in reverse it just clicks until the motor revs. Forward still works like normal. I have had the boat for 10 years now and it has always clicked before going into gear. Ok bear with me as I don't know the terms for...

    87 2.3l OMC, water in gear oil, leaking from weep hole

    After taking the boat out several times this year without issue, I noticed some gear oil leaking out of the upper weep hole after parking the boat after our last outing. I removed the drain plug and quite a bit of water came out before any oil came out. This is the only boat I have ever owned...

    87 Bayliner 2.3L Ford OMC, Overheating

    Took my boat out yesterday for the first time this year, and shortly after leaving the dock I noticed the temp gauge way up there. Turned around and headed back. Killed the engine and let it sit for a while. The engine didn't really smell all that hot or act funny but I was going to believe...
