Right now it cranks but won't start. The fuel pump is external under the engine. It's tbi injected and the injectors are spraying with good flow. It's acting now like it's way out of time.

I have a mercruiser 5.7 efi and i am having engine issues that no mechanic has be able to fix. Last year the engine would cold start fine and run fine but if it was at running temp and you shut it off it would run rich and at high rpm at idle. It progressively got worse until it ran rich and idles h...

Hey everyone, I decided to take the 293 out for a run today and the port engine won't rev passed 2000 rmp the other engine runs perfect. At idle it runs fine but after 1500 it starts hesitating and then won't pass 2000 rpm. I pulled the distributor cap and saw corrosion and cleaned it off but didn't...

My engine hatch actuator stopped working on my 293. I can't find a label or part number anywhere, does anybody know any info on them or which one I should look at getting.

Thanks for the help. Yea my turns out it's a full closed and I will be draining the heat exchangers this weekend. Yea the boat has been in fresh water here in tennessee all it's life.

I ended up drilling new screw holes to bring the speaker down a bit to clear the transom shower compartment. That way the gasket for the spear sat flush.

Wetsand, buff and polish whole boat

When I got my 293 only two of the speakers worked and none of them match. So during the off season I have got everything to replace all the speakers and even have some of them installed already. I am putting in 2 wetsound revo 6s, 2 wetsound revo 8s Polk 5 channel amp 100x4 and 400x1 for the Polk 12...

I was wondering if that could of been it near the cleat, I guess at some point it was removed because nothing is behind that vent. Thanks for all the help.

Does anyone know where the horn is located on a 1999 293? The horn hasn't worked and tested the wiring and switch round that behind the gauges someone has cut the wire and can't find the other half to wire it back. I figured I would just run a new wire to it wherever it is located. I have looked eve...

I will post some pictures of the inside once I get it cleaned up. It's a mess right now from doing some work on it.

Hey everyone last month I picked up a 1999 293. I'm sure I will be asking a bunch of questions here. The boat needs a little tlc but overall it's in good shape. I will attach a couple of pictures of it.
