    Seized VP 5.0GL - Options/Insights

    Couple of easy troubleshooting ideas. To check for water in the oil. You have to pull the filter or wrap your lips over the oil dip stick and blow (or if you're a nancy boy like me, use a fairly clean chunk of hose) wait a minute and blow again, you can now see if there is any milky oil on the...

    Water getting in through air vents

    Freshwater dealer here. We sell quite a few of the Mercury vented covers. Customers seem to like them, nice fit. I don't know much about saltwater boating, but I would think you would want to remove it pretty often to clean the salt out. Mercury really pushes the Corrosion Guard, Heavy Duty P/N...

    Correct OEM Service and Parts Manuals

    Great questions! #1. The section that shows the boat in the water, is for people who leave the boat in the water. You should be trimming slightly up like this when you are in the water and the engine isn't running, like when you're using the trolling motor to fish or tied up to a dock grabbing...

    Congratulations on your new boat. Please read the owners manual that came with the motor cover to cover and ask about anything you don't understand. I work the service/parts counter for a dealer and wow the amount of money and grief that new boat owners would save is amazing if only they would...

    Mercruiser V8 6.2l MPI with Smartcraft SC1000 to Garmin GPSMap plotter connections.

    I could have worded that better. Yes I noted the NEMA flow sensor, without it (or a gateway) the OP won't be able to see GPH on their MFD (plotter). My answer was just directed to their questions about SmartCraft GPH reading they get on the Tach. To get SmartCraft data on their plotter will...

    Mercruiser V8 6.2l MPI with Smartcraft SC1000 to Garmin GPSMap plotter connections.

    Fuel GPH is a calculation based on injector on time done by the PCM on the engine (as mentioned above), but isn't 100% accurate due to the PCM doesn't know what the fuel pressure is. It assumes the PSI is within specs. Yes, it is delivered to the helm on Can Line P. You are correct that you...

    Need a new throttle

    The change from Gen1 to Gen2 Remote Control / Cables happened early 00s. So your 08 is probably compatible with new controls.

    2025 Mercury 115 powder coat issue on cav plate

    If these are the silver painted bottom half engines. STOP. Ask your dealer for a copy of service bulletin Outboard No. 2024-10R1 This is a special issue with the silver paint. If you are still within the original warranty period, act now! This is one of the things that's NOT covered under the...

    Mercruiser 5.0 twin engine high water pressure

    Update to my advice: The T on your engine should NOT have an orifice in it. That was only used with Alpha packages. I would still check it and the distribution housing for any restrictions, the Bravo raw water pump can put out a lot of pressure. My guess is your problem is in housing, 3 Ts or...
