    2005 - 350 MAG MPI HORIZON - Elbow gasket sealant or no?

    Yes but the manual was printed 2 yrs before my engine and gasket material is different etc. Someone said there is a later service bulletin (99-10) saying no sealant. I cant find it Ooops I found it. But it dosnt mention sealant

    2005 - 350 MAG MPI HORIZON - Elbow gasket sealant or no?

    My gaskets are blanked off - no water port. (circles are solid) Most instructions say if sealant is used not to put it on the round ports, but everywhere else.

    2005 - 350 MAG MPI HORIZON - Elbow gasket sealant or no?

    Ive researched the hell out of this and have found no consensus. Cloosed cooling - Dry Joint Elbow gasket If sealant is uses on the metal gaskets it seems people say use Permatex Aviation ($12) or the Mercruiser sealant ($50) its basically the same. But many say latest info is to not use...

    350 MAG MPI stalled. Will not restart

    but would that also give low voltage at the ignition switch and gauges? Theee is zero room to reach around these engines on a Searay!

    350 MAG MPI stalled. Will not restart

    rail pressure checks out 38-40 PSI with ignition on. New problem although my batteries are good I lose all voltage on port side gauges and ignition. I have a smart charger plugged in with AC at the dock. voltage goes to zero. no crank. nothing. I had noticed when she first stalled and i...
