    Uptrim question

    I consider myself electro mechanical and I have test meters. I know where the trim pump is I just hope I don't have to go there since its a pain in the ____ to get to. Lousy access (my boat is a Bayliner 185 walk-thru hull). I would say I understand about 98%.

    Uptrim question

    My uptrim is erratic on my alpha one sterndrive. When I push on the uptrim button on my remote controls it sometimes works fine but other times it requires a lot of tries. I hate to think that the switch itself needs to be replaced. I know there are a lot of things that I can check but I would...

    Clanking sound when shifting gears

    2005 Mercruiser alpha 1 drive. Is it normal to hear a mild clanking (sounds like metal to metal) when shifting gears. This occurs when shifting from Neutral to forward as well as neutral to reverse.

    Thermostat question

    ran into an issue when attempting to install new 160 deg F thermostat. Bought 807252Q5 for my 2005 Mercruiser. My old one was a 807252. The new one has a small piece dangling loose through a small hole on the flange. The thermostat is 160 deg F which is what I need and it fits except for this...

    Alarm issue

    What's most baffling to me is that when it starts to alarm its continuous for the 1--20 seconds and then abruptly stops. If it was a short 1-2 second alarm I could understand an intermittent short like a contact between wire and ground due to motion of the boat causing wire to temporarily touch...
