Mercrusier Service Bulletin 2011-003

[DarkJester]

Anyone have any info on this SB? Has to do with the 8.2 ECT engines.
I'd like to know what the info the dealer has, and what the fix is, and what parts are effected.

If anybody knows, I sure am interested.

That service bulletin is 30 pages long with detailed info on it, A lot of it is for a Merc boat shop needs to do it. Below is the basic explanation of it for you though. Good luck.

Situation​

Mercury Marine has determined that some 8.2 Sterndrive Emission Control engine models within the Models Affected serialnumber range may experience a hydraulic lock after hard running conditions and keying off. This situation may prevent the enginefrom restarting and could damage internal engine components.In addition, Mercury Marine is taking this opportunity to address potential fault codes set due to corrosion in the oxygen sensorconnection, misfire codes due to spark plug wire damage, and a propulsion control module (PCM) replacement to address injectordriver issues that may cause the injector to stick open or closed.Also, Mercury Marine determined that the position of the clamp on the flame arrestor may have resulted in differences in theamount of torque applied to the clamp at the factory.​

Owner Notificaton​

A letter will be sent to every registered owner of an affected 8.2 Sterndrive Emission Control–powered boat. The letter will advisethe owner to take the boat to any Mercury MerCruiser authorized dealer for certain upgrades to the engine. Some affected powerpackages will have been updated before shipment. Visit MercNET or contact MerCruiser Customer Service or your regional servicecenter to determine whether repairs have already been completed on a given package. As a Mercury MerCruiser dealer, youshould also contact affected customers to make them aware of this recall and to schedule an appointment for the repair. A copyof the customer letter is attached.​

Correction​

An exhaust elbow inspection, and replacement when required, coupled with the installation of the vent valve assembly arecorrections intended to prevent the hydraulic lock situation.Inspection of the oxygen sensor, oxygen sensor connections, and spark plug wires, including replacement of these componentswhen required, is necessary to correct the potential fault code issues.Replace the PCM when indicated. Engines without PCM replacement are required to receive a PCM reflash using the CDS G3tool to update the calibrations and software to the latest version.Inspecting, repositioning, and tightening the flame arrestor’s clamp to specification eliminates possible differences in the torquevalue applied to the clamp.​
