Notice to Users of ThisManualThis service manual has been written and publishedby the service department of Mercury Marine to aidour dealers, mechanics and company service per-sonnel when servicing the products described here-in.
It is assumed that these personnel are familiar withthe servicing procedures of these products, of like orsimilar products manufactured and marketed by Mer-cury Marine, and that they have been trained in therecommended servicing procedures for these prod-ucts which include the use of mechanic’s commonhand tools and the special Mercury Marine or recom-mended tools from other suppliers.
We could not possibly know of and advise the servicetrade of all conceivable procedures by which a ser-vice might be performed and of the possible hazardsand/or results of each method. We have not under-taken any such wide evaluation. Therefore, anyonewho uses a service procedure and/or tool, which isnot recommended by the manufacturer, firstmust completely satisfy himself that neither his northe product’s safety will be endangered by the ser-vice procedure selected.
All information, illustrations and specifications con-tained in this manual are based on the latest productinformation available at time of publication.
It should be kept in mind, while working on the prod-uct, that the electrical system is capable of violentand damaging short circuits or severe electri-cal shocks. When performing any work where electri-cal terminals could possibly be grounded or touchedby the mechanic, the battery cables should be dis-connected at the battery.
Any time the intake or exhaust openings are exposedduring service they should be covered to protectagainst accidental entrance of foreign material whichcould enter the cylinders and cause extensive inter-nal damage when the engine is started.
It is important to note that, during any mainte-nance procedure, replacement fasteners must havethe same measurements and strength as those re-moved, whether metric or customary. Numbers onthe heads of the metric bolts and on surfaces of met-ric nuts indicate their strength. Customary bolts useradial lines for this purpose, while most custom-ary nuts do not have strength markings. Mismatchedor incorrect fasteners can result in damage or mal-function, or possible personal injury. Therefore, fas-teners removed should be saved for re-use in thesame locations whenever possible. Where the fas-teners are not satisfactory for re-use, care should betaken to select a replacement that meets thesame specifications as the original.

Engine MechanicalComponentsMany of the engine mechanical components are de-signed for marine applications. Unlike automotiveengines, marine engines are subjected to extendedperiods of heavy load and wide-open-throttle opera-tion and, therefore, require heavy-duty components.Special marine engine parts have design and man-ufacturing specifications which are required to pro-vide long life and dependable performance. Marineengine parts also must be able to resist the corrosiveaction of salt or brackish water that will rust or corrodestandard automotive parts within a short period oftime.
Failure to use recommended Quicksilver service re-placement parts can result in poor engine perform-ance and/or durability, rapid corrosion of parts sub-jected to salt water and possibly complete failure ofthe engine.
Use of parts other than recommended service re-placement parts, will void the warranty on those partswhich are damaged as a result of the use of otherthan recommended replacement parts.
Replacement Parts! WARNING
Electrical and fuel system components on Mer-Cruiser Engines and Stern Drives are designedand manufactured to comply with U.S. CoastGuard Rules and Regulations to minimize risksof fire or explosion.
Use of replacement electrical or fuel system com-ponents, which do not comply to these rules andregulations, could result in a fire or explosionhazard and should be avoided.
When servicing the electrical and fuel systems,it is extremely important that all components areproperly installed and tightened. If not, any elec-trical component opening would permit sparks toignite fuel vapors from fuel system leaks, if theyexisted.

Propeller InformationRefer to the “Propeller” section in appropriate Mer-Cruiser Stern Drive Service Manual, or order publica-tion P/N 90-86144-92, “Everything you need to knowabout propellers.”
Changing diameter, pitch or coupling of a propellerwill affect engine RPM and boat performance . Theblade configuration also will affect performance. Twolike propellers, same pitch and diameter, from two dif-ferent manufacturers also will perform differently.
It is the responsibility of the boat manufacturer and/orselling dealer to equip the boat with the correct pro-peller to allow the engine to operate within its speci-fied RPM range at wide-open-throttle (W.O.T.).
Because of the many variables of boat design and op-eration, only testing will determine the best propellerfor the particular application.
To test for correct propeller, operate boat (with anaverage load onboard) at W.O.T. and check RPM withan accurate tachometer. Engine RPM should be neartop of the specified range so that, under heavy load,engine speed will not fall below specifications.
If engine exceeds the specified RPM, an increase inpitch and/or diameter is required.
If engine is below rated RPM, a decrease in pitch and/or diameter is required.
Normally, a change of approximately 100 to 150 RPMwill be achieved for each single pitch change of a pro-peller.
! CAUTIONIf a propeller is installed that does not allow en-gine RPM to reach the specified full-throttle RPMrange, the engine will “labor” and will not pro-duce full power. Operation under this conditionwill cause excessive fuel consumption and en-gine overheating. On the other hand, installationof a propeller, that allows engine to run above thespecified RPM limit, will cause excessive wear oninternal engine parts which will lead to prematureengine failure.
Water Testing New EnginesUse care during the first 20 hours of operation on newMerCruiser engines or possible engine failure mayoccur. If a new engine has to be water-tested at fullthrottle before the break-in period is complete, followthis procedure ONLY AFTER the engine INITIALBREAK-IN PROCEDURE has been completed.
1. Start engine and run at idle RPM until normal op-erating temperature is reached.
2. Run boat up on plane.
3. Advance engine RPM (in 200 RPM increments)until engine reaches its maximum rated RPM.
IMPORTANT: Do not run at maximum RPM formore than 2 minutes.

Boat and EnginePerformance
Boat BottomFor maximum speed, a boat bottom should be as flatas possible in a fore-aft direction (longitudinally) forapproximately the last 5 ft. (1.5 m).
72002
a - Critical Bottom Area
For best speed and minimum spray, the corner be-tween the bottom and the transom should be sharp.
72003
a - Flatb - Sharp Corner
The bottom is referred to as having a “hook” if it is con-cave in the fore-and-aft direction. A hook causesmore lift on the bottom near the transom and forcesthe bow to drop. This increases wetted surface andreduces boat speed. A hook, however, aids in planing
and reduces any porpoising (rhythmical bouncing)tendency. A slight hook is often built in by the man-ufacturer. A hook also can be caused by incorrecttrailering or storing the boat with support directly un-der the transom.
72004
a - Hook
A “rocker” is the reverse of a hook. The bottom is con-vex or bulged in the fore-and-aft direction. It cancause the boat to porpoise.
72005
a - Rocker
Any hook, rocker or surface roughness on the bottom,particularly in the all-important center-aft portion willhave a negative effect on speed, often several milesper hour on a fast boat.
1A-6 – GENERAL INFORMATION 90-806934 1194
Marine FoulingFouling is an unwanted build-up (usually animal-veg-etable-derived) occurring on the boat’s bottom anddrive unit. Fouling adds up to drag, which reducesboat performance. In fresh water, fouling results fromdirt, vegetable matter, algae or slime, chemicals, min-erals and other pollutants. In salt water, barnacles,moss and other marine growth often produce dramat-ic build-up of material quickly. Therefore, it is impor-tant to keep the hull as clean as possible in all waterconditions to maximize boat performance.
Special hull treatments, such as anti-fouling paint, willreduce the rate of bottom fouling. However, due to thefact that drive units (outboard or stern drive) are madeprimarily of aluminum, be sure to select an anti-foul-ing paint having a copper-free, organo-tin base. TheBIS (Tri Butyl Tin) Adipate (TBTA) base paint will notset up a galvanic corrosion “cell” as it is completelycompatible with aluminum and avoids any electroly-sis problems connected with many other paints.Applied according to instructions, it also is very effec-tive.
Weight DistributionWeight distribution is extremely important; it affects aboat’s running angle or attitude. For best top speed,all movable weight - cargo and passengers - shouldbe as far aft as possible to allow the bow to come upto a more efficient angle (3 to 5 degrees). On the neg-ative side of this approach is the problem that, asweight is moved aft, some boats will begin an unac-ceptable porpoise.
Secondly, as weight is moved aft, getting on plane be-comes more difficult.
Finally, the ride in choppy water becomes more un-comfortable as the weight goes aft. With these factorsin mind, each boater should seek out what weight lo-cations best suit his/her needs.
Weight and passenger loading placed well forward in-creases the “wetted area” of the boat bottom and, insome cases, virtually destroys the good performanceand handling characteristics of the boat. Operation inthis configuration can produce an extremely wet ride,from wind-blown spray, and could even be unsafe incertain weather conditions or where bow steeringmay occur.
Weight distribution is not confined strictly to fore andaft locations, but also applies to lateral weight distri-bution. Uneven weight concentration to port or star-board of the longitudinal centerline can produce a se-vere listing attitude that can adversely affect theboat’s performance, handling ability and riding com-fort. In extreme rough water conditions, the safety ofthe boat and passengers may be in jeopardy.
Water in BoatWhen a boat loses performance, check bilge for wa-ter. Water can add considerable weight to the boat,thereby decreasing the performance and handling.
Make certain that all drain passages are open forcomplete draining.
Elevation and ClimateElevation has a very noticeable effect on thewide-open- throttle power of an engine. Since air(containing oxygen) gets thinner as elevation in-creases, the engine begins to starve for air. Humidity,barometric pressure and temperature do have a no-ticeable effect on the density of air. Heat and humiditythin the air. This phenomenon can become particular-ly annoying when an engine is propped out on a cooldry day in spring and later, on a hot, sultry day in Au-gust, doesn’t have its old zip.
Although some performance can be regained bydropping to a lower pitch propeller, the basic problemstill exists. The propeller is too large in diameter forthe reduced power output. The experienced marinedealer or a Quicksilver Propeller Repair Station candetermine how much diameter to remove from a low-er-pitch propeller for specific high-elevation loca-tions. In some cases, a gear-ratio change to the driveunit to more reduction is possible and very beneficial.It is a known fact that weather conditions exert a pro-found effect on power output of internal combustionengines. Therefore, established horsepower ratingsrefer to the power that the engine will produce at itsrated RPM under a specific combination of weatherconditions.
GENERAL INFORMATION – 1A-790-806934 1194
Recommended Operation/Duty CycleIt is the operator’s responsibility to operate within thefollowing recommended operational capability, orduty cycle, as applicable to engine and installation:
• Pleasure Duty -
1.) Operated at rated power and ratedspeed for short periods of time.
• Light Duty -
1.) Operated such that full rated power atmaximum rated RPM is limited to 10% of operatingtime and continuous cruising RPM is limited to90% of Wide-Open-Throttle RPM (when proppedwithin specified RPM range).
2.) Annual operating time is not to exceed500 hours.
NOTE: Pleasure duty rating applies to highperformance-type boats, or boats with planing hullswhere acceleration and top speed are of primaryimportance. This rating is reserved forprivately-owned yachts, or recreational power boatsin non-revenue applications.
Light duty rating applies to planing boats where theuse of full rated power at maximum rated RPM islimited (as stated above). Examples of Light Dutyapplications include, but are not limited to: search andrescue craft, fast patrol boats, fire boats, dive boats,and limited season fishing boats such as sport-fishcharter boats. Application to common commercialcrafts having full-displacement or semi-displacementhulls exceeds the recommended operationalcapability, or duty cycle.
IMPORTANT: Damage caused by improperapplication or failure to operate within theoperational capability, or duty cycle, will not becovered by the MerCruiser Diesel LimitedWarranty.
Pre-LubricatingTurbochargerIMPORTANT: After a lengthy lay-up (severalmonths or more), it is necessary to pre-lubricatethe turbocharger and engine. To do this, movethe “STOP” switch toggle lever DOWN and holdin this position while you turn the key switch to“START” position. Doing this TOGETHER turnsthe engine without starting it. DO NOT engagestarter for more than 15 seconds; allow at leastone minute cool down time before re-engagingstarter for another 15 seconds. Watch that starterdoes not overheat.

MAINTENANCE – 1B-590-806934 1194
Engine Initial Break-InProcedureIt is especially important that the following procedurebe used on new and rebuilt diesel engines. Thisbreak-in procedure allows the proper seating of thepistons and rings, which greatly reduces the likeli-hood of problems.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that the boat notbe accelerated hard until this procedure has beencompleted.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the starter motor longerthan 15 seconds at a time, to avoid overheating thestarter motor. If engine does not start, wait 1 minute toallow the starter motor to cool; then, repeat startingprocedure.
Initial Break-In Procedure is as follows:
1. Refer to owner’s manual and start engine. Allowengine to idle until engine has reached normal op-erating temperature.
2. Run engine in gear for 3 minutes at each of the fol-lowing RPMs: 1200 RPM, 2400 RPM and 3000RPM.
3. Run engine in gear for 3 minutes at each of the fol-lowing RPMs: 1500 RPM, 2800 RPM and 3400RPM.
4. Run engine in gear for 3 minutes at each of the fol-lowing RPMs: 1800 RPM, 3000 RPM and Maxi-mum Rated Wide-Open-Throttle RPM.
Engine 20-Hour Break-InPeriodIMPORTANT: The first 20 hours of operation is theengine break-in period. Correct break-in is essen-tial to obtain minimum oil consumption and maxi-mum engine performance. During this break-inperiod, the following rules must be observed:
The first 20 hours of operation is the engine (new orrebuilt) break-in period. During this period, it is ex-tremely important that the engine is operated as out-lined in the following.
1. DO NOT operate engine below 1500 RPM for ex-tended periods of time during the first 10 hours.During this period, shift into gear as soon as pos-sible after starting engine and advance throttle sothat RPM is above 1500 (provided that conditionspermit safe operation at this speed).
2. DO NOT operate at any one constant speed forextended periods of time.
3. DO NOT exceed 75% of full throttle during the first10 hours except during the Engine Initial Break-InProcedure. During the next 10 hours, occasionaloperation at full throttle (5 minutes at a time maxi-mum) is permissible.
4. AVOID full throttle accelerations from stopped po-sition.
5. DO NOT operate at full throttle until engine reach-es normal operating temperature.
6. OBSERVE INSTRUMENTATION carefully. If anabnormal reading occurs, stop engine immedi-ately and determine cause.
7. FREQUENTLY CHECK crankcase oil level andadd oil if necessary. It is normal for oil consump-tion to be somewhat high during the break-in peri-od.
8. AT END OF THE 20-HOUR BREAK-IN PERIOD,drain oil from crankcase and replace oil and filter.Fill crankcase with correct grade and viscosity oil.
After Break-in PeriodTo help extend the life of your MerCruiser powerpackage, the following recommendations should beconsidered;
• Use a propeller that allows the engine to operateat or near the top of the maximum RPM range (See“Specifications” section) when at full throttle witha normal boat load.
• Operation at 3/4 throttle setting or lower is recom-mended. Refrain from prolonged operation atmaximum (full throttle) RPM.
1B-6 – MAINTENANCE 90-806934 1194
20 Hour CheckupAfter 20 hours of operation, but no later than 50 hours, an Authorized MerCruiser Dealer should be contacted forthe following services, checks, and adjustments. (Note: Some items may not apply to your specific powerpackage.)

Fluid Specifications
Diesel Fuel
! WARNINGFIRE HAZARD: Fuel leakage from any part of thefuel system can be a fire hazard which can causeserious bodily injury or death. Careful periodic in-spection of entire fuel system is mandatory, par-ticularly after storage. All fuel components in-cluding fuel tanks, whether plastic, metal orfiberglass, fuel lines, primers, fittings, and fuel fil-ters should be inspected for leakage, softening,hardening, swelling or corrosion. Any sign ofleakage or deterioration requires replacementbefore further engine operation.
! WARNINGUnder no circumstances should gasoline, gaso-hol and/or alcohol be mixed with diesel fuel forany reason. This mixture of gasoline, gasoholand/or alcohol with diesel fuel is highly flam-mable and produces a significant risk to the user.
IMPORTANT: Use of improper or water-contami-nated diesel fuel will damage your engine seri-ously. Use of improper fuel is considered misuseof engine, and damage caused thereby will not becovered by warranty.
Grade 2-D diesel fuel is required, meeting ASTMStandards D975 (or fuel rated Diesel DIN 51601), andhaving a minimum cetane rating of 45.
The cetane number is a measure of the ignition quali-ty of diesel fuel. Increasing the cetane number will notimprove overall engine performance, but it may benecessary to raise the cetane rating for low tempera-ture or high altitude use.
NOTE: If your engine suddenly becomes noisy aftera fuel fill, you possibly received substandard fuel witha low cetane rating.
Sulphur content of the above fuel is rated at 0.50% byweight, maximum (ASTM). Limits may vary in coun-tries outside of the United States.
On intermittent use engines, high sulphur content die-sel fuel will greatly increase:
• Corrosion of metal parts.
• Deterioration of elastomer and plastic parts.
• Corrosion and extensive damage, and excessivewear of internal engine parts, particularly bear-ings.
• Starting and operating difficulties.
DIESEL FUEL IN COLD WEATHER
Unaltered diesel fuels thicken and “gel” in cold tem-peratures, unless treated. Virtually all diesel fuels are“climatized” to allow their use in the particular regionfor that time of the year. If it becomes necessary to fur-ther treat diesel fuel, it is the owner/operator’s re-sponsibility to add a commercial “standard brand”“anti-gel” diesel fuel additive, following that product’sdirections.
Power Steering FluidUse Quicksilver Power Trim and Steering Fluid, or au-tomatic transmission fluid (ATF), Dexron, Dexron II.
Transmission FluidUse automatic transmission fluid (ATF) Dexron II.
1B-8 – MAINTENANCE 90-806934 1194
Crankcase OilTo help obtain optimum engine performance and toprovide maximum protection, the engine requires en-gine oil with rating of HD-SAE-API-SG/CD, and con-forming to or exceeding military specifications ofMIL-2104 D.
We recommend the use of Quicksilver 4-Cycle Ma-rine Engine Oil, a specially blended 25W-40 SG/CDoil with Marine Additives.
If Quicksilver 4-Cycle Marine Engine Oil is unavail-able, we recommend the use of 15W-40 CD oil for alltemperature operation, from the following list of ap-proved oils.
These oils, approved by Mercury Marine and MarinePower Europe, exceed MlL-2104 D standards.

Coolant for Closed Cooling System
! CAUTIONAlcohol or Methanol base antifreeze or plain wa-ter, are not recommended for use in fresh watersection of cooling system at any time.
We require that the coolant section of closed coolingsystem be filled with Quicksilver Premixed MarineEngine Coolant.
IMPORTANT: Quicksilver Premixed Marine En-gine Coolant contains special low silicate ethy-lene glycol, special additives, and purified water.Use of other coolant may cause fouling of theheat exchangers, and overheating of the engine.
Maintaining Crankcase OilLevel
Overfilled Engine CrankcaseOverfilled crankcases (oil level being too high ) cancause a fluctuation or drop in oil pressure on Mer-Cruiser engines. The over-full condition results in theengine crankshaft splashing and agitating the oil,causing it to foam (become aerated). The aerated oilcauses a loss of engine performance and an increasein crankcase backpressure. An extreme overfillcondition could result in backpressure sufficient tocause large amounts of oil to be pulled over into theintake.
Care must be taken when checking engine oil level.Oil level must be maintained between the MINIMUMmark and the MAXIMUM mark on the dipstick. To en-sure that you are not getting a “false reading,” makesure the following steps are done before checking theoil level.
• Boat “at rest” in the water, or
• If boat is on a trailer, raise or lower bow until theboat is setting at the approximate angle that itwould be if setting “at rest” in the water.
• Allow sufficient time for oil to drain into the crank-case if engine has just been run or oil has just beenadded.
Checking Engine Oil Level/FillingIMPORTANT: ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL MUSTBE CHECKED AT INTERVALS SPECIFIED IN“MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE” CHART. It is nor-mal for an engine to use a certain amount of oil inthe process of lubrication and cooling of the en-gine. The amount of oil consumption is greatlydependent upon engine speed, with consump-tion being highest at wide-open-throttle and de-creasing substantially as engine speed is re-duced.
Check engine oil daily before first start-up.
If it becomes necessary to check oil level during oper-ation, stop the engine and allow 5 minutes for oil todrain into pan.
! CAUTIONAvoid possible injury, or damage to oil dipstickand internal engine components. Do not removecrankcase oil dipstick when engine is running.Stop the engine completely before removing orinserting dipstick.
1. Remove dipstick. Wipe clean and reinstall intodipstick tube.

Changing Crankcase Oil andOil FilterIMPORTANT: Change oil when engine is warmfrom operation. Warm oil flows more freely, carry-ing away more impurities. Use only recom-mended motor oil (see SPECIFICATIONS).
1. Start engine and allow it to warm up to normal op-erating temperature.
2. Stop engine and allow some time for oil to draininto oil pan (approximately 5 minutes).
3. Loosen hose clamp and disconnect crankcasevent oil return hose from oil return tube.
4. Install crankcase oil pump (Quicksilver Part Num-ber - 90265A2) onto threaded fitting of oil returntube.

7. Remove oil fill cap and refill engine with new oil(refer to “Specifications” for quantity and grade ofoil).
IMPORTANT: When refilling engine with oil al-ways use dipstick to determine how much oil isrequired.
! CAUTIONAvoid possible injury or damage to oil dipstickand internal engine components. Do not removecrankcase oil dipstick when engine is running.Stop the engine completely before removing orinserting dipstick.
IMPORTANT: After oil change, pre-lubricate tur-bocharger and engine. To do this, move the“STOP” switch toggle lever DOWN and hold inthis position while you turn the key switch to“START” position. Doing this TOGETHER turnsthe engine without starting it. DO NOT engagestarter for more than 15 seconds; allow at leastone minute cool down time before re-engagingstarter for another 15 seconds. Watch that starterdoes not overheat.

1B-12 – MAINTENANCE 90-806934 1194
Filling and Bleeding PowerSteering SystemIMPORTANT: Power steering system must befilled exactly as explained in the following to besure that all air is bled from the system. All airmust be removed, or fluid in pump may foam dur-ing operation and be discharged from pump res-ervoir. Foamy fluid also may cause power steer-ing system to become spongy, which may resultin poor boat control.
1. With engine stopped, position drive unit so that itis straight back. Remove fill cap/dipstick frompower steering pump. Add Quicksilver PowerTrim and Steering Fluid or automatic transmis-sion fluid (ATF), Dexron, or Dexron II, as required,to bring level up to FULL COLD mark on dipstick.
IMPORTANT: Use only Quicksilver Power Trimand Steering Fluid or automatic transmissionfluid (ATF), Dexron, or Dexron II in power steeringsystem.
2. With engine NOT running, turn the steeringwheel, at a moderate rate, back-and-forth to endof travel in each direction pausing each time atend of travel for a few seconds to allow any air tobubble from pump reservoir. Do this a minimumof 5 complete cycles, then recheck fluid level andadd fluid, if necessary.
3. Install reservoir fill cap.
! CAUTIONDO NOT operate engine without water beingsupplied to seawater pickup pump, or pump im-peller may be damaged and subsequent over-heating damage to engine may result.
4. Position boat in the water and/or see that water issupplied to seawater pickup holes. Start engineand run AT IDLE. During this time, turn steeringwheel back and forth to end of travel in each direc-tion several times.
5. Position drive unit so that it is straight back andstop engine. Remove fill cap from pump reservoir.Allow any foam in pump reservoir to disperse,then check fluid level. DO NOT OVERFILL. Rein-stall fill cap securely.
IMPORTANT: Drive unit must be positionedstraight back to accurately check fluid level.
6. If fluid is still foamy (in Step 5), repeat Steps 4 and5 until fluid does not foam and level remains con-stant.
Maintaining TransmissionFluid LevelIMPORTANT: To accurately check fluid level, en-gine MUST BE run at 1500 RPM for 2 minutes im-mediately prior to checking level.
1. Start engine and run at 1500 RPM for 2 minutesto fill all circuits, lines, and cooler.

Engine NoiseIMPORTANT INFORMATION
No definite rule or test will positively determine sourceof engine noise; therefore, use the following informa-tion only as a general guide to engine noise diagno-sis.
1. Use a timing light to determine if noise is timedwith engine speed or one-half engine speed.Noises timed with engine speed are related tocrankshaft, rods, pistons, piston pins, and fly-wheel. Noises timed to one-half engine speed arevalve train related.
2. The use of a stethoscope can aid in locating anoise source; however, because noise will travelto other metal parts not involved in the problem,caution must be exercised.
3. If you believe noise is confined to one particularcylinder, ground spark plug leads, one at a time.If noise lessens noticeably or disappears, it is iso-lated to that particular cylinder.
4. Try to isolate the noise to location in engine: frontto back, top to bottom. This can help determinewhich components are at fault.
5. Sometimes noises can be caused by movingparts coming in contact with other components.Examples are: flywheel or coupler; exhaust flap-pers rattling against exhaust pipe; crankshaftstriking (pan, pan baffle, or dipstick tube); rockerarm striking valve cover; and loose flywheel cov-er. In many cases if this is found to be the problem,a complete engine teardown is not necessary.
6. When noise is isolated to a certain area and com-ponent, removal and inspection will be required.Refer to proper sections of service manual for in-formation required for service.
7. If noise cannot be distinguished between engineand drive unit, remove drive from boat. Run a wa-ter supply directly to engine. Run engine withoutthe drive to determine if noise is still there.

Oil PressureItem Special Information
1. Measuring oil pressure 1. Use a good automotive oil pressure test gauge. Do not rely on the oil pressure gauge in the boat.
2. Check engine oil level with boat at rest in thewater
2. Oil level should be between the ADD and FULL marks
3. Oil level in crankcase above FULL mark 3. May cause loss of engine RPM, oil pressure gauge fluctuation, drop in oil pressure, and hydraulic valve lifter noise at high RPM
4. Oil level in crankcase below ADD mark 4. Low oil pressure; oil pressure gauge fluctuation; internal engine noise and/or damage
5. Change in oil pressure 5. This may be a normal condition. Oil pressure mayread high in the cooler times of the day, and whenengine is not up to operating temperature. As the air temperature warms up and engine is running at normal opening temperature, it is normal for oil pressure to drop.
6. Low engine oil pressure at idle 6. With modern engines and engine oils, low oil pressure readings at idle do not necessarily meanthere is a problem. If valve lifters do not “clatter” (at idle), there is a sufficient volume of oil to lubricate all internal moving parts properly. The reason for the drop in oil pressure is that engine heat causes an expansion of the internal tolerances in the engine and, also, the oil will thin out somewhat from heat.
7. Low engine oil pressure at idle after running at ahigh RPM
7. Refer to No. 5 and 6, preceding
8. Boats with dual engines 8. It is not uncommon to see different oil pressure readings between the two engines, as long as both engines fall within specifications. Differencesin oil pressure can be attributed to differences in engine tolerances, gauges, wiring, senders, etc.
9. Boats with dual stations 9. Refer to No. 8. preceding
TROUBLESHOOTING – 1C-1990-806934 1194

2. Defective oil pressure gauge and/or sender 2. Verify with an automotive test gauge.
3. Thin or diluted oil 3. Oil broken down; contains water or fuel; wrong viscosity; engine running too hot or too cold; excessive idling in cold water (condensation)
4. Oil pump 4. Relief valve stuck open; pickup tube restricted; worn parts in oil pump; air leak on suction side of oil pump or pickup oil tube
5. Oil leak can be internal or external 5. Oil passage plugs leaking, cracked or porous cylinder block
6. Excessive bearing clearance 6. Cam bearings, main bearings, rod bearings
High Oil PressureIMPORTANT: Oil pressure slightly higher than normal does not always indicate a problem. Oil viscosity,and weather conditions could cause high oil pressure.
Cause Special Information
1. Oil too thick 1. Wrong viscosity, oil full of sludge or tar
2. Defective oil pressure gauge and/or sender 2. Verify with an automotive test gauge
3. Clogged or restricted oil passage
4. Oil pump relief valve stuck closed

Water in Engine
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: First determine location of water inengine. This information can be of great helpwhen trying to determine where the water camefrom and how it got into the engine. The threemost common problems are “water on top of pis-tons, water in crankcase oil, water in crankcaseoil and on top of pistons.”
The first step, after locating water, is to remove all thewater from the engine by removing all spark plugsand pumping cylinders out by cranking engine over.Next change oil and filter. Now, start engine and seeif problem can be duplicated. If problem can be dupli-cated, there more than likely is a mechanical prob-lem. If the problem cannot be duplicated, the problemis either an operator error or a problem that exists onlyunder certain environmental conditions.
If water is contained to cylinder(s) only, it is usually en-tering through the intake system, exhaust system, orhead gasket.
If the water is contained to crankcase only, it is usuallycaused by a cracked or porous block, a flooded bilge,or condensation.
If the water is located in both the cylinder(s) and thecrankcase, it is usually caused by water in the cylin-ders getting past the rings and valves, or completesubmersion.
Checking for rust in the intake manifold or exhaustmanifolds is a good idea. Rust in these areas will giveclues if the water entered these areas.
Water In Crankcase Oil
Cause Special Information

General Information
Some repairs, that are listed in this section, must becompleted with engine removed from boat. Engineremoval depends upon type of repair and boatdesign. Place engine on repair stand for majorrepairs.
NOTE: This section contains disassembly andassembly procedures of the engine block andcylinder heads only. Refer to other sections fordisassembly and assembly of various othercomponents.
IMPORTANT: Do not use any sealers or adhesivescontaining silicone. Silicone can cause blockagein the cooling/heat exchanger systems.

a - Head Code Location
GLOW PLUG ARRANGEMENT
Early cylinder heads were designed with a radialglow plug arrangement in which the glow plug entersinto the center of the combustion chamber, and isseated at an angle in relation to the center line of thehead.
Later model D3.0L/150 engines beginning with SerialNumber 0D725152 and above, D3.6L/180 enginesbeginning with Serial Number 0D850268 and above,and D4.2L/220 engines with Serial Number0D554753 and above, are equipped with cylinderheads which have a tangential glow plugarrangement. This design differs from the radial stylein that the glow plug enters the combustion chamberat the side, that is, on a tangent to the combustionchamber, but is parallel to the center line of the head.
Cylinder heads with the tangential glow plugs alsohave steel inserts between the valve seats.
IMPORTANT: Because of the different glow plugarrangements there is also a corresponding dif-ference in the electrical connecting bridges andpre-chambers, be certain to obtain the correctparts when ordering.

Engine RotationEngine rotation terminology, at times, has causedconfusion. To clarify, engine rotation is determined byobserving flywheel rotation from the rear (transmission orstern drive end) of the engine looking forward.
Propeller Rotation is not necessarily the same asEngine Rotation.
The 5 and 6 cylinder diesel engines, stern drive (MCM)and Inboard (MIE), covered in this manual are lefthand (CCW) rotation, as viewed from flywheel end.
Description
ENGINE BLOCK
The engine block is made of cast iron and is designedfor maximum strength. The crankshaft main bearingcarriers are completely enclosed in the block. Theblock has removable cylinder liners which are cooledby engine coolant. Rubber O-rings on the bottom ofthe liners are used to seal off the closed coolingsystem from the crankcase.
CRANKSHAFT
The crankshaft is supported in the block by insert typemain bearings, (seven in the six cylinder engine andsix in the five cylinder engine). Each bearing, exceptthe front main, is held by an aluminum carrier. Thefront main bearing is pressed into the block. Longbanjo bolts prevent the bearing carriers from turningin the block. Crankshaft end play is controlled bythrust washers in the rear main bearing carrier.
PISTON RINGS and CONNECTING RODS
The pistons have three rings, two compression andone oil control. The top compression ring is taperedand the second compression ring is stepped. Thebottom ring, oil control, has a spring inside to helppress it tight against the cylinder wall.
The pistons use full-floating piston pins retained withsnap rings.
The connecting rods and connecting rod caps havematching machined grooves for a perfect fit.Connecting rods are available in six different weightsto help in balancing the engine.
VALVE TRAIN
The valve train consists of lifters, push rods, rockerarms, rocker arm supports, valves and valve springs.The lifters and push rods are both solid and arelubricated by oil running off the rocker arms. Therocker arms have screws with lock nuts which areused to adjust valve clearance. Removable bushingsin the rocker arms are lubricated by oil which is pipedthru the rocker arm supports.
There is one heavy duty spring used for each valve.Valve spring retainers and two-piece keepers holdthe springs in place.
CAMSHAFT and GEARS
The camshaft is supported by bearings which arepressed in the engine block. It is gear driven atone-half crankshaft speed and has one lobe tooperate the fuel pump.
CYLINDER HEADS
The cylinder heads are made of aluminum withreplaceable valve seats, and valve guides. A watermanifold supplies each head with coolant.
ENGINE - ALL MODELS - 3A-1190-806934 1194
ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM – ALLMODELS
The engine’s oil pump, which is gear driven off thecrankshaft, is recessed in the front of the engineblock. The pressure relief valve is recessed into theblock’s front oil pan flange. A thermostat/valveassembly in the system directs oil through acombined engine heat exchanger/coolant tank/oil
cooler when it reaches a preset temperature. Aftergoing through a replaceable filter, oil is piped to therocker arm supports and to the turbocharger. Internalpassages channel oil through banjo bolts to the mainbearing carriers. To help cool the pistons, the mainbearing carriers contain jets which spray oil on theunderside of the pistons. Another internal passagedirects oil to the camshaft bearings.

VALVE SEAT RECONDITIONING
Valve seat reconditioning is very important, sinceseating of valves must be perfect for engine to delivermaximum power and performance.
Another important factor is valve head cooling. Goodcontact between each valve and its seat in head isimportant to insure that heat in valve head will beproperly dispersed.
Several different types of equipment are available forreconditioning valve seats. Equipment manufacturer’srecommendations should be followed carefully to attainproper results.
Regardless of type of equipment, however, it isessential that valve guide bores be free from carbonor dirt to insure proper centering of pilot in valveguide.
Machine valve seat angles to the following specifications.Intake - 55 ; Exhaust - 45.
VALVE REFACING
Pitted valves can be refaced to proper angle on a valvegrinder, thus insuring correct relation between cylinderhead seat and valve mating surface. Replace valves withexcessive wear on stems or valves which are warpedexcessively. When an excessively-warped valve head is
refaced, a knife edge will be ground on part or all of thevalve head, due to amount of metal that must beremoved to completely reface. Knife edges lead tobreakage or burning. After grinding, measure valves andreplace if out of specifications.
Various equipment is available for refacing valves.Manufacturer’s recommendations should be carefullyfollowed to attain proper results.

PISTONS:
! CAUTIONFor D3.0L/150 and D3.6L/180 engines, pistons areprovided in two standard sizes and correspond tothe tolerance classes: Class A or Class B. ForD4.2L/220 engines only Class A pistons (and liners)are provided. Failure to use only the piston Class (Aor B) designated for your engine and cylinder linerwill result in severe engine damage.
IMPORTANT: Determine which Class of piston isneeded by looking on top of piston (as shownfollowing) or by examining the underside of thecylinder liner (Refer to Cylinder Liner –“Identification”) for reference details.
70296
a - Letter “A” or “B” Location for Class A or B Designation
1. Clean varnish from piston skirts and pins with acleaning solvent. DO NOT WIRE BRUSH ANYPART OF PISTON. Clean ring grooves with agroove cleaner and make sure oil ring holes areclean.

a - Ring Groovesb - Oil Ring Holes
3A-48 - ENGINE - ALL MODELS 90-806934 1194
2. Inspect piston for cracked ring lands, skirts or pinbosses, wavy worn ring lands, scuffed or damagedskirts or eroded areas at top of piston. Replacepistons which are damaged or show signs ofexcessive wear. (Refer to Step 6, following.)
3. Inspect grooves for nicks or burrs that mightcause rings to hang up.
4. Except on upper ring groove of pistons (refer toStep 6, following), insert edge of rings intorespective piston ring groove and roll ring entirelyaround the groove to make sure that ring is free.If binding occurs at any point, determine cause. Ifcaused by ring groove, remove by dressing witha fine cut file. Do not remove excess material.(Verify with feeler gauge and compare tospecifications.) If binding is thought to be adistorted ring, check with a new ring.
5. Measure piston O. D. about 1/2 in. (13mm) frombottom of skirt.
70229
a - O. D. Measurement Point - 1/2 in. (13mm)
6. Proper clearance of piston ring in its piston ringgroove is very important to provide proper ringaction and reduce wear.
Keep in mind that while the second “scraper” com-pression ring and the oil control ring are typical in na-ture, the upper (first) compression ring is “trapezoi-dal” (tapered) in design. That is, it has a 15 degreetaper on both upper and lower surfaces.
Correspondingly, the upper compression ring grooveis tapered 15 degrees on top and bottom.
Note also that the upper ring’s edge (parallel to cylin-der liner) is not a straight cut. It is rounded, or arced,in design.
IMPORTANT: Do not mistake these tapered or dif-ferent design characteristics for unusual wearpatterns.

Starting Circuit DescriptionThis is a general description of the positive (+12V)current flow thru the starting circuit.
The starter used on the diesel engine is a high torque12 volt motor capable of cranking high compressionengines. There are 3 circuit breakers used in thecircuit to prevent overload damage to wires and othercomponents. A neutral start switch is located in thecircuit to prevent starter operation in forward orreverse gears. Due to the diesel’s design, the engineis started and stopped by separate buttons locatedon the instrument panel. The ignition switch is usedto control the start button and instrumentation. Arelay is used in the start button circuit to allow higheramperage to the starter solenoid.

DescriptionThe alternator has a rotor, which is supported in twoend frames by ball bearings, and is driven by a pulleyat approximately twice engine speed. The rotor con-tains a field winding that is enclosed between twomultiple-finger pole pieces. The ends of the fieldwinding are connected to two brushes (mounted inthe rear end frame) which make continuous sliding (orslipping) contact with the slip rings. The current (flow-ing through the field winding) creates a magnetic fieldthat causes the adjacent fingers of the pole pieces tobecome alternate north and south magnetic poles.
A 3-phase stator is mounted directly over the rotorpole pieces and between two end frames. It consistsof three windings wound 120 degrees electrically out-of-phase on the inside of a laminated core. The wind-ings are all connected together on one end, while theother ends are connected to a full-wave rectifierbridge.
The rectifier bridge contains six diodes which are ar-ranged so that current flows from ground, through thestator and to the output terminal, but not in the oppo-site direction.
When current is supplied to the rotor field winding,and the rotor is turned, the movement of the magneticfields created induces an alternating current into thestator windings. The rectifier bridge then changes thisalternating current to direct current which appears atthe output terminal. A diode trio also is connected tothe stator windings to supply current to the regulatorand the rotor field during operation.
Voltage output of the alternator is controlled by regu-lating the current supplied to the rotor field. This is ac-complished by a transistorized voltage regulator thatsenses the voltage at the battery and regulates thefield current to maintain alternator voltage within pre-scribed limits for properly charging the battery. Cur-rent output of the alternator does not require regula-tion, as maximum current output is self-limited by thedesign of the alternator. As long as the voltage is reg-ulated within the prescribed limits, the alternator can-not produce excessive current. A cut-out relay in thevoltage regulator also is not required, as the rectifierdiodes (which allow current to flow in one directiononly) prevent the battery from discharging backthrough the stator.
Due to the lack of residual magnetism in the rotor polepieces, a small amount of current must be supplied tothe rotor field to initially start the alternator charging.This is accomplished by means of an excitation circuitin the regulator which is connected to the ignitionswitch. Once the alternator begins to produce output,field current is supplied solely by the diode trio, as ex-plained, preceding.
The alternator also is equipped with a fan (mountedon the rotor shaft) which induces air flow through thealternator to remove the heat created by the rectifiersand stator. A capacitor protects the rectifier systemfrom high voltages and suppresses radio noise.
CHARGING SYSTEM - 4C-390-806934 1194
PrecautionsThe following precautions MUST BE observed whenworking on the alternator system. Failure to observethese precautions may result in serious damage tothe alternator or alternator system.
1. DO NOT attempt to polarize the alternator.
2. DO NOT short across or ground any of the termi-nals on the alternator, except as specificallyinstructed in the “Troubleshooting Tests.”
3. NEVER disconnect the alternator output lead orbattery cables when the alternator is being drivenby the engine.
4. NEVER disconnect regulator lead from alternatorregulator terminal when the alternator is beingdriven by the engine.
5. ALWAYS remove negative (–) battery cable frombattery before working on alternator system.
6. When installing battery, BE SURE to connect thepositive (+) battery cable to the positive (+) bat-tery terminal and the negative (–) (grounded) bat-tery cable to negative (–) battery terminal.
7. If a charger or booster battery is to be used, BESURE to connect it in parallel with existing battery(positive to positive; negative to negative).
System ComponentsThe alternator system consists of the alternator, bat-tery, the ignition switch and the wiring which connectsthese components.

Battery Isolators
Dual Battery Charging SystemsUsing a Battery IsolatorBattery isolators allow the addition of an auxiliary (se-cond) battery to the MerCruiser electrical system.The auxiliary battery is primarily used as a powersource for various accessories installed on the boat.The battery isolator will allow the alternator to chargeboth the cranking and auxiliary batteries at the sametime while preventing accessories, connected to theauxiliary battery, from drawing power from the crank-ing battery.
Mercury Marine does not manufacture any batteryisolator systems. Battery isolators must be boughtfrom an outside manufacturer. Mercury Marine sug-gests following the manufacturer’s instructions care-fully.
IMPORTANT: Alternators used on MerCruiser en-gines ARE NOT equipped with an isolation diode.
! CAUTIONFollow battery isolator manufacturer’s instruc-tions for wire gauge. Battery isolator installationmust conform to BIA Low Voltage Wiring Stan-dard No. 125-79.
NOTE: MerCruiser engines equipped with a 3-wire,belt driven alternator, can use a battery isolator.

b. After obtaining correct tension, securely re-tighten alternator brace attaching bolts andalternator mounting bolts.
2. If a new drive belt has been installed, recheck belttension after running for five minutes.
Troubleshooting Tests(Alternator on Engine)Use the following tests in conjunction with the “Trou-bleshooting” in Section 1. Before proceeding with thetests, however, perform the following checks to elimi-nate possible problem areas. Also observe “Precau-tions,” preceding, to prevent damage to alternatorsystem.
1. If problem is an undercharged battery, check toensure that undercharged condition has not beencaused by excessive accessory current draw orby accessories which have accidentally been lefton. Also, check that undercharged condition hasnot been caused by running engine at too low aspeed for extended periods of time.
2. Check physical condition and state of charge ofbattery, as outlined in “Battery - Storage” in Sec-tion 4A. Battery MUST BE at least 75% (1.230specific gravity) of fully charged to obtain valid re-sults in the following tests. If not, charge batterybefore testing system.
3. Inspect entire alternator system wiring for de-fects. Check all connections for tightness andcleanliness, particularly battery cable clamps andbattery terminals.
4. Check alternator drive belt for excessive wear,cracks, fraying and glazed surfaces and replaceif necessary. Also, check drive belt tension andadjust if necessary, as outlined under “Drive BeltTension Adjustment.”
Circuitry TestPerform the following tests, using a 0-20 volt DC volt-meter, to check that all of the circuits between the al-ternator and the other components within the alterna-tor system are in good condition.
OUTPUT CIRCUIT
1. Connect positive (+) voltmeter lead to alternatoroutput terminal and negative (–) lead to a groundterminal on alternator.
CHARGING SYSTEM - 4C-790-806934 1194
2. Wiggle engine wiring harness while observingvoltmeter. Meter should indicate approximatebattery voltage and should not vary. If no readingis obtained, or if reading varies, check alternatoroutput circuit for loose or dirty connections ordamaged wiring.

EXCITATION CIRCUIT
1. Connect positive (+) voltmeter lead to tie strap/terminal on alternator and negative (–) lead to aground terminal on alternator (Test 1).
2. Turn ignition switch to “RUN” position and notevoltmeter reading. Reading should be 1.3 to 2.5volts.
3. If no reading is obtained, an opening exists in al-ternator excitation lead or in excitation circuit ofregulator. Unplug PURPLE lead from regulator.Connect positive voltmeter lead to purple leadand negative voltmeter leads to ground (Test 2).If voltmeter now indicates approximate batteryvoltage, voltage regulator is defective and mustbe replaced. If no voltage is indicated, check ex-citation circuit for loose or dirty connections ordamaged wiring.
4. If reading is between .75 and 1.1 volts, rotor fieldcircuit probably is shorted or grounded. Disas-semble alternator and test rotor as outlined under“Alternator Repair,” following.
5. If reading is between 6.0 and 7.0 volts, rotor fieldcircuit probably is open. Remove regulator and in-spect for worn brushes or dirty slip rings. Replacebrushes if less than 1/4 in. (6 mm) long. If brushesand slip rings are in good condition, disassembleand perform rotor test as outlined under “Compo-nent Testing - Rotor” following.

Cleaning and Inspection1. Clean all parts with a clean, soft cloth. DO NOT
use solvent, or electrical components may bedamaged.
2. Inspect the following parts for wear and damage:
a. Brush/regulator assembly - inspect forcracked casing, damaged brush leads, poorbrush lead solder connections, weak or bro-ken brush springs or worn brushes. Replacebrush set if brushes are less than 1/4 in. (6mm) long.
b. Rotor - inspect for stripped threads, scuffedpole piece fingers or damaged bearing sur-faces (because of bearing turning on shaft).
c. Rotor-slip rings - clean slip rings with 400grain (or finer) polishing cloth while spinningrotor in a lathe. Blow off dust with compressedair. Inspect slip rings for grooves, pits, flatspots or out-of-round [.002 in. (0.051 mm)maximum] and replace rotor, if present.
d. Rotor shaft and front end bearings - in-spect for damaged seals, lack of lubrication,discoloration (from overheating) and exces-sive side or end play. Bearing should turnfreely without binding or evidence of roughspots.
e. Stator - inspect for damaged insulation orwires; also inspect insulating enamel for heatdiscoloration, as this is usually a sign of ashorted or grounded winding or a shorteddiode.
f. Front and rear end frames - inspect forcracks, distortion, stripped threads or wear inbearing bore (from bearing outer race spin-ning in bore). End frame(s) MUST BE re-placed, if bearing has spun. Also, inspectbearing retainer recess in front end frame fordamage.
g. Fan - inspect for cracked or bent fins, brokenwelds (bi-rotational fan only) or worn mount-ing hole (from fan spinning on shaft).
h. Pulley - inspect pulley mounting bore end forwear. Inspect drive surface of pulley sheavesfor trueness, excessive wear, grooves, pits,nicks and corrosion. Repair damaged sur-faces, if possible, with a fine file and a wirebrush or replace pulley, if beyond repair. Drivesurfaces MUST BE perfectly true and smoothor drive belt wear will be greatly accelerated.
Component Testing
ROTOR
1. Test rotor field circuit for opens, shorts or high re-sistance (Test 1), using an ohmmeter (set on R x1scale), as follows:
72831
TEST 1 TEST 2
Testing Rotor Field Circuit
a. Connect one ohmmeter lead to each slip ring.
b. Ohmmeter reading should be 4.2 to 5.5 ohmswith rotor at room temperature 70-80°F(21-26°C).
c. If reading is high or infinite (no meter move-ment), high resistance or an open exists in thefield circuit. Check for poor connections be-tween field winding leads and slip ring termi-nals. If cause for open or high resistance can-not be found, connect ohmmeter directly toslip ring terminals. If correct reading is nowobtained, or if reading is still high or infinite, re-place complete rotor assembly.
CHARGING SYSTEM - 4C-1590-806934 1194
d. If reading is low, a short exists in the field cir-cuit. Inspect slip rings to be sure that they arenot bent and touching outer slip ring. Also, besure that excess solder is not shorting termi-nals to aft slip ring. If cause for short cannotbe found, unsolder field winding leads fromslip ring terminals and connect ohmmeter di-rectly to leads. If correct reading is now ob-tained, or if reading is still low, slip rings androtor field windings are shorted, and completerotor assembly must be replaced.

2. Test rotor field circuit for grounds (Test 2), usingan ohmmeter (set on R x1 scale) as follows:
a. Connect one lead of ohmmeter to either slipring and the other lead to rotor shaft or polepieces.
b. Meter should indicate no continuity (metershould not move).
c. If continuity does exist, complete rotor assem-bly must be replaced.
IMPORTANT: If alternator has output at lowspeeds, but no output at high speeds, rotor fieldwinding may be shorting or grounding out, due tocentrifugal force. Replace rotor if all other electri-cal components test good.
STATOR
IMPORTANT: Stator leads MUST BE discon-nected from rectifier for this test.
1. Test stator for grounds (Test 1), using an ohmme-ter (set on R x1 scale) as follows:
a. Connect one lead of ohmmeter to one of thestator leads and the other lead to stator frame.Be sure that lead makes good contact withframe.
b. Meter should indicate no continuity (metershould not move). If continuity does exist, sta-tor is grounded and must be replaced.
2. Test for opens in stator (Test 2), using an ohmme-ter (set on R x1 scale) as follows:
a. Connect ohmmeter between each pair of sta-tor windings (three different ways).
b. Continuity should be present in all three cases(meter should move). If it does not, one ormore of the windings are open and statormust be replaced.
72833
TEST 1 TEST 2 TEST 2 TEST 2
Testing Stator
3. A short in the stator is difficult to detect withoutspecial equipment, because of the low windingsresistance. If all other electrical components testout good, and alternator fails to produce ratedoutput, stator probably is shorted and should bereplaced. Also, examine stator for heat discolor-ation, as this usually is a sure sign of a short.

DescriptionThe alternator has a rotor, which is supported in twoend frames by ball bearings, and is driven by a pulleyat approximately twice engine speed. The rotor con-tains a field winding that is enclosed between twomultiple-finger pole pieces. The ends of the fieldwinding are connected to two brushes (mounted inthe rear end frame) which make continuous sliding (orslipping) contact with the slip rings. The current (flow-ing through the field winding) creates a magnetic fieldthat causes the adjacent fingers of the pole pieces tobecome alternate north and south magnetic poles.
A 3-phase stator is mounted directly over the rotorpole pieces and between two end frames. It consistsof three windings wound 120 degrees electrically out-of-phase on the inside of a laminated core. The wind-ings are all connected together on one end, while theother ends are connected to a full-wave rectifierbridge.
The rectifier bridge contains six rectifiers which arearranged so that current flows from ground, throughthe stator and to the output terminal, but not in the op-posite direction.
4C-22 - CHARGING SYSTEM 90-806934 1194
When current is supplied to the rotor field winding,and the rotor is turned, the movement of the magneticfields created induces an alternating current into thestator windings. The rectifier bridge then changes thisalternating current to direct current which appears atthe output terminal. A diode trio also is connected tothe stator windings to supply current to the regulatorand the rotor field during operation.
Voltage output of the alternator is controlled by regu-lating the current supplied to the rotor field. This is ac-complished by a transistorized voltage regulator thatsenses the voltage at the battery and regulates thefield current to maintain alternator voltage within pre-scribed limits for properly charging the battery. Cur-rent output of the alternator does not require regula-tion, as maximum current output is self-limited by thedesign of the alternator. As long as the voltage is reg-ulated within the prescribed limits, the alternator can-not produce excessive current. A cut-out relay in thevoltage regulator also is not required, as the rectifierdiodes (which allow current to flow in one directiononly) prevent the battery from discharging backthrough the stator.
Due to the lack of residual magnetism in the rotor polepieces, a small amount of current must be supplied tothe rotor field to initially start the alternator charging.This is accomplished by means of an excitation circuitin the regulator which is connected to the ignitionswitch. Once the alternator begins to produce output,field current is supplied solely by the diode trio, as ex-plained, preceding.
The alternator also is equipped with a fan (mountedon the rotor shaft) which induces air flow through thealternator to remove the heat created by the rectifiersand stator. A capacitor protects the rectifier systemfrom high voltages and suppresses radio noise.
PrecautionsThe following precautions MUST BE observed whenworking on the alternator system. Failure to observethese precautions may result in serious damage tothe alternator or alternator system.
1. DO NOT attempt to polarize the alternator.
2. DO NOT short across or ground any of the termi-nals on the alternator, except as specificallyinstructed in the “Troubleshooting Tests.”
3. NEVER disconnect the alternator output lead orbattery cables when the alternator is being drivenby the engine.
4. NEVER disconnect regulator lead from alternatorregulator terminal when the alternator is beingdriven by the engine.
5. ALWAYS remove negative (–) battery cable frombattery before working on alternator system.
6. When installing battery, BE SURE to connect thepositive (+) battery cable to the positive (+) bat-tery terminal and the negative (–) (grounded) bat-tery cable to negative (–) battery terminal.
7. If a charger or booster battery is to be used, BESURE to connect it in parallel with existing battery(positive to positive; negative to negative).
System ComponentsThe alternator system consists of the alternator, bat-tery, the ignition switch and the wiring which connectsthese components.

Battery Isolators
Dual Battery Charging SystemsUsing a Battery IsolatorBattery isolators allow the addition of an auxiliary (se-cond) battery to the MerCruiser electrical system.The auxiliary battery is primarily used as a powersource for various accessories installed on the boat.The battery isolator will allow the alternator to chargeboth the cranking and auxiliary batteries at the sametime while preventing accessories, connected to theauxiliary battery, from drawing power from the crank-ing battery.
Mercury Marine does not manufacture any batteryisolator systems. Battery isolators must be boughtfrom an outside manufacturer. Mercury Marine sug-gests following the manufacturer’s instructions care-fully.
IMPORTANT: Alternators used on MerCruiser en-gines ARE NOT equipped with an isolation diode.
! CAUTIONFollow battery isolator manufacturer’s instruc-tions for wire gauge. Battery isolator installationmust conform to BIA Low Voltage Wiring Stan-dard No. 125-79.
NOTE: MerCruiser engines equipped with a 3-wire,belt driven alternator, can use a battery isolator.

Cleaning and Inspection1. Clean all parts with a clean, soft cloth. Do not use
solvent, or electrical components may be dam-aged.
2. Inspect the following:
a. Brush Set - Inspect for cracked porcelaincasing, damaged brush leads, poor brushsprings or worn brushes. Replace brush set ifbrushes are less than 3/16 in (5 mm) long.
b. Rotor - Inspect for stripped threads, scuffedpole piece fingers or damaged bearing sur-faces (because of bearing turning on shaft).
c. Rotor Slip Rings - Clean slip rings with 400grain (or finer) polishing cloth. Blow off dustwith compressed air. Inspect slip rings forgrooves, pits, flat spots or out-of-round [.002in. (.05 mm) maximum]. Replace if defective.
d. Rotor Shaft Bearings - Inspect for damagedseals, lack of lubrication, discoloration (fromoverheating) or excessive side or end play.Hold inner race of bearings while turning outerrace. Bearing should turn freely without bind-ing or evidence of rough spots.
e. Stator - Inspect for damaged insulation orwires; also inspect insulating enamel for heatdiscoloration, as this is usually a sign of ashorted or grounded winding or a shorteddiode.
f. Regulator - Inspect leads for damaged in-sulation.
g. Front and Rear Housings - Inspect forcracks, distortion, stripped threads or wear inbearing bore (from bearing outer race spin-ning in bore). Replace if defective.
h. Fan - Inspect for cracked or bent fins, brokenwelds or worn mounting hole (from fan spin-ning on shaft).
i. Pulley - Inspect pulley mounting bore and forwear. Inspect drive surface of pulley sheavesfor trueness, excessive wear, or corrosion.Repair damaged surfaces, if possible, with afine file and a wire brush, or replace pulley.Drive surfaces must be true and smooth, ordrive belt wear will be greatly accelerated.
j. Alternator - If alternator has output at lowspeeds, but no output at high speeds, rotorfield winding may be shorting or grounding outbecause of centrifugal force. Replace rotor, ifall other electrical components test good.

Component Testing
Rotor1. Test rotor field circuit for grounds, using an ohm-
meter (set on R x1 scale) as follows:
a. Connect one lead of ohmmeter to either slipring and the other lead to rotor shaft or polepieces.
b. Meter should indicate no continuity (metershould not move).
c. If continuity does exist, rotor field circuit isgrounded. Inspect slip ring terminals to besure that they are not bent and touching rotorshaft. Also be sure that excess solder is notgrounding terminals to rotor shaft. If cause forground cannot be found, unsolder field wind-ing leads from slip ring terminals and connectohmmeter between one of the leads and rotorshaft or pole pieces. If continuity still exists,replace rotor assembly. If continuity is elimi-nated, replace slip rings.

2. Test rotor field circuit for opens, shorts or high re-sistance, using an ohmmeter (set on R x1 scale)as follows:
a. Connect one ohmmeter lead to each slip ring.
b. Ohmmeter reading should be 4.1 to 4.7 ohmswith rotor at room temperature [70-80°F(21-26°C)].
c. If reading is high or infinite (no meter move-ment), high resistance or an open exists in thefield circuit. Check for poor connections be-tween field winding leads and slip ring termi-nals. If cause for open or high resistance can-not be found, connect ohmmeter directly toslip ring terminals. If correct reading is nowobtained, replace slip rings. If reading is stillhigh or infinite, replace complete rotor assem-bly.
d. If reading is low, a short exists in the field cir-cuit. Inspect slip rings to be sure that they arenot bent and touching outer slip ring. Also besure that excess solder is not shorting termi-nals to aft slip ring. If cause for short cannotbe found, unsolder field winding leads fromslip ring terminals and connect ohmmeter di-rectly to leads. If correct reading is now ob-tained, slip rings are shorted and must be re-placed. If reading is still low, rotor fieldwindings are shorted, and complete rotor as-sembly must be replaced.

Stator
IMPORTANT: Stator leads MUST BE discon-nected from rectifiers and diode-trio for this test.
! CAUTIONExcessive heat from de-soldering may causedamage to rectifiers or diode-trio assembly whendisconnecting leads.
1. Test stator for grounds, using an ohmmeter (seton R x1 scale) as follows:
a. Connect one lead of ohmmeter or test lamp toone of the stator leads and the other lead tostator frame. Be sure that lead makes goodcontact with frame.
b. Meter should indicate no continuity (metershould not move). If continuity does exist, sta-tor is grounded and must be replaced.
73101
NOTE: It is necessary to test only three of the sixleads on EITHER side of the stator as the leads areinterconnected in the windings.
2. Test for opens in stator, using an ohmmeter (seton R x1 scale) as follows:
a. Connect ohmmeter or test lamp betweeneach pair of stator windings (3 different ways).
b. Continuity should be present in all three cases(meter should move). If it does not, one ormore of the windings are open and statormust be replaced.
3. A short in the stator is difficult to detect withoutspecial equipment, because of the low windingsresistance. If all other electrical components testout good, and alternator fails to produce ratedoutput, stator probably is shorted and should bereplaced. Also, examine stator for heat discolor-ation, as this usually is a sign of a short.

! WARNINGAlways disconnect battery cables from batterybefore working around electrical system compo-nents to prevent injury to yourself or damage toelectrical system.
IMPORTANT: If all instruments appear suspect,an electrical overload may have occurred. A fusemay be defective or a circuit breaker may betripped open. The cause must be found and cor-rected before replacing fuse or resetting circuitbreaker.
If all instruments appear suspect, check the mainharness or electrical connector to ensure goodcontact.
Before testing individual instruments, check thefollowing:
• All wires in circuit are connected.
• Plug in connectors are fully engaged.
• Battery is fully charged.
• All connections are tight and corrosion free.
! CAUTIONAvoid short circuits. It may be necessary to re-move instrument panel or Engine System Moni-tor panel from dashboard to gain access toinstruments and switches. Do not allow wires tocome in contact with metal or other wires.
Tachometer SpecialInformation
If using a tachometer, from another manufacturer,that must be connected to the alternator for drivingthe tachometer, do not use the magnetic tachometerpickup mounted on the flywheel housing. The GRAYwire in the wiring harness to the alternator will beused. Refer to wiring schematics and proceed as fol-lows:
1. Disconnect both the GRAY and BLACK wire ter-minal ends from the existing magnetic tachome-ter pickup. Tape each wire terminal end with atleast two layers of electrical tape.
2. Connect the loose GRAY wire terminal end, nearthe alternator, to the terminal marked “P” on theMando alternator and “AC” on the Prestolite alter-nator. The markings should appear on the backof the alternator near the respective terminal.Tighten fastener securely. Coat the connectionwith Quicksilver Liquid Neoprene (92-25711-1).
3. Follow the specific installation manual proce-dures, or the manufacturer’s instructions, for theremaining connections at tachometer.

Audio Warning SystemThe Audio Warning System is divided into two sepa-rate circuits. Both circuits have an individual audiowarning buzzer that does NOT include any timedelay.
One circuit consists of the engine water temperatureswitch and related wiring. If this switch is activated(“closed”) during the operation of the engine, thealarm buzzer will sound and the Engine System Moni-tor panel light will be illuminated until the problem iscorrected or the electrical system is shut off (keyswitched “OFF”).
The other circuit consists of the engine oil pressureswitch, the transmission temperature switch [MIE (In-board) models] or the gear lube monitor bottle switch[MCM (Stern Drive) models) and related wiring.These switches are connected to the audio warningbuzzer through a control relay which is activatedwhen the glow plug control system has completed the“preheat cycle”. Likewise, the Engine System Moni-tor panel light is illuminated whenever the respectiveswitch is activated (“closed”) until the problem is cor-rected or the electrical system is shut off (keyswitched “OFF”)..
The function of an audio warning buzzer can betested by holding the toggle lever of the Audio Testswitch (on the Engine System Monitor panel) DOWNmomentarily, with the key switch in the “RUN” posi-tion. If the buzzer sounds the buzzer is operable.
INSTRUMENTATION - 4D-1590-806934 1194
Buzzer
! WARNINGThe following test involves the use of electricity.Failure to follow appropriate procedures cancause burns or shock which can result in severepersonal injury or death.
TESTING
1. If buzzer does not sound:
a. Disconnect bullet connectors from suspectbuzzer. Connect a 12 volt positive (+) jumperwire to where the PURPLE wire (dependingon which buzzer is being tested) was con-nected. Connect the remaining wire (wherethe TAN/BLACK or TAN/BLUE was con-nected) to a clean, unpainted ground or nega-tive (–) connection using a jumper wire.
b. If buzzer does not sound, replace it.
2. If the buzzer worked in Step 1, reconnect wiresand:
a. Remove wires at the switches involved andbriefly jumper the wire ends together. Withthe key switch in the “RUN” position, the buzz-er should sound.
b. If buzzer sounds, the problem is in theswitch(es). Refer to individual switches -“Testing”, as follows, and test suspect switch.Replace as instructed.
3. If the buzzer did not sound in Step 2: Refer to wir-ing diagrams and check wires or connectors tothe individual switches. Repair as needed.
Oil Pressure Switch
TESTING
When the engine is OFF the switch is normallyclosed.
1. Remove TAN/WHITE wire from switch. Insulateto avoid possible short circuit.
2. Connect continuity meter between switchterminal and switch case [negative (–)]. Withengine NOT running, meter should indicate fullcontinuity.

General
Fuel Pump and Filter DescriptionThe fuel delivery pump is of the diaphragm type andis mounted on the side of the engine block. It isoperated by the camshaft, and on all models isequipped with an external lever to assist in primingthe injection pump and purging air from fuel system.
The fuel filter is mounted next to the fuel pump. It isa water-separating filter and is equipped with a waterbleed valve at the bottom of the canister.
Precautions
! WARNING
ALWAYS disconnect battery cables from batteryBEFORE working on fuel system to prevent fire.This eliminates the engine wiring as a potentialsource of ignition.
! WARNING
Be careful when changing fuel systemcomponents; diesel fuel is flammable. Be surethat ignition key is OFF. DO NOT smoke or allowsources of open flame in the area while changingfuel system components. Wipe up any spilledfuel immediately. DO NOT allow fuel to come intocontact with any hot surface which may cause itto ignite.
5A-2 – FUEL DELIVERY PUMP AND FUEL FILTER 90-806934 1194
! WARNING
Dispose of fuel soaked rags, paper, etc. in anappropriate air tight, fire retardant container.Fuel soaked items may spontaneously ignite andresult in a fire hazard which could cause seriousbodily injury or death.
! WARNING
Make sure that no fuel leaks exist, before closingengine hatch.
! CAUTIONDO NOT operate engine without cooling waterbeing supplied to seawater pickup pump orpump impeller will be damaged, and subsequentoverheating damage may result.
Fuel Lines
! WARNING
Boating industry standards (NMMA, ABYC, etc.)federal standards and Coast Guard regulationsmust be adhered to when installing fuel deliverysystem.
The fuel lines must be well secured. Fuel line with a5/16 in. (10 x 8) ID must be used. The holes wherethe line runs through bulkheads should be carefullyrounded off or protected with rubber grommets. Thisprevents damage to the lines from abrasion.
A fuel return line between engine and fuel tank isrequired, having the same size ID as the fuel supplyline.
1. Fuel pickup should be at least 1 in. (25mm) fromthe bottom of fuel tank, to prevent picking upimpurities.
2. Dual installations: use a separate pickup, supplyline and separate fuel return line, for eachengine.
3. On installations requiring long lines or numerousfittings, larger size lines should be used.
4. Fuel line(s) should be installed free of stress andfirmly secured to prevent vibration and/or chaf-ing.
5. Sharp bends in fuel line should be avoided.
6. A flexible fuel line must be used to connect fuelline to inlet on fuel pump, to absorb deflectionwhen engine is running. Injector pump fuelreturn line must also have a flexible rubber hosesegment.

Description
GeneralMerCruiser Diesel Engines use Bosch, Type VE,Distributor Fuel Injection Pumps. The pump isengine driven off the camshaft gear. It is timed todeliver the correct amount of fuel to the fuel injectors.Injection pump pressure, at the fuel injectors,exceeds 2000 P.S.I. (13,790 kPa). Pressure valveson the outlets of the pump make sure that a certaininitial pressure is always in the lines leading to theinjectors. Because these engines are turbo-charged, the injection pump uses a manifoldpressure compensator to reduce the amount of fuelinjected during low turbo boost conditions. Thisreduces exhaust smoke at low engine RPM.
The timing-advance device advances timing up to 24crankshaft degrees. There is also a governor built intothe injection pump. The pump’s high speed screw ispreset and sealed at the Bosch factory. Do not attemptto adjust this screw. Diesel engines are stopped byshutting off the fuel supply. The injection pump isequipped with two means of fuel shut off, electrical andmechanical. The electrical shut off is a solenoid valveoperated by the stop button in the instrument panel.The mechanical shut off is a lever location on theinjection pump. A cold start lever is also located on theside of the pump. It is used to help start the enginewhen outside air temperature is below 50 F (10 C).

Precautions
! WARNING
Electrical system components on this engine arenot external ignition protected. DO NOT STOREOR UTILIZE GASOLINE ON BOATS EQUIPPEDWITH THESE ENGINES, UNLESS PROVISIONSHAVE BEEN MADE TO EXCLUDE GASOLINEVAPORS FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT (ref: 33CFR). Failure to comply could result in fire,explosion and/or severe personal injury.
! WARNING
Always disconnect battery cables from batteryBEFORE working on fuel system to prevent fire.This eliminates the engine wiring as a potentialsource of ignition.
! CAUTIONIt is good practice to ventilate the enginecompartment prior to servicing any enginecomponents to remove any fuel vapors whichmay cause difficulty breathing or be an irritant.
! WARNING
FIRE HAZARD: Fuel leakage from any part of thefuel system can be a fire hazard which can causeserious bodily injury or death. Careful periodicinspection of entire fuel system is mandatory,particularly after storage. All fuel componentsincluding fuel tanks, whether plastic, metal orfiberglass, fuel lines, primers, fittings, and fuelfilters should be inspected for leakage,softening, hardening, swelling or corrosion. Anysign of leakage or deterioration requiresreplacement before further engine operation.
! WARNING
Be careful when changing fuel systemcomponents; diesel fuel is flammable. Be surethat ignition key is OFF. DO NOT smoke or allowsources of open flame in the area while changingfuel system components. Wipe up any spilledfuel immediately. Dispose of rags appropriately.DO NOT allow fuel to come into contact with anyhot surface which may cause it to ignite.
! WARNING
Dispose of fuel soaked rags, paper, etc. in anappropriate air tight, fire retardant container.Fuel soaked items may spontaneously ignite andresult in a fire hazard which could cause seriousbodily injury or death.

Fuel Requirements
! WARNING
Under should gasoline bemixed with diesel fuel for any reason. This mixtureof gasoline and diesel fuel is highly flammable andproduces a significant risk to the user.
IMPORTANT: Use of improper or watercontaminated diesel fuel can damage the engineseriously. Use of improper fuel is consideredmisuse of engine, and damage caused therebywill not be covered by warranty.
Grade 2-D diesel fuel is required, meeting ASTMStandards D975 (or fuel rated Diesel DIN 51601),and having a minimum cetane rating of 45.
The Cetane number is a measure of the ignitionquality of diesel fuel. Increasing the cetane numberwill not improve overall engine performance, but itmay be necessary to raise the cetane rating for lowtemperature, or high altitude use.
Sulphur content of the above fuel is rated at 0.50%by weight, maximum (ASTM). Limits may vary incountries outside of the United States.
On intermittent use engines, high sulphur contentdiesel fuel will greatly increase:
Corrosion of metal parts.
Deterioration of elastomer and plastic parts.
Corrosion and extensive damage, and excessivewear of internal engine parts, particularlybearings.
Starting and operating difficulties.
Diesel Fuel in Cold Weather
! WARNING
Under should gasoline bemixed with diesel fuel for any reason. This mixtureof gasoline and diesel fuel is highly flammable andproduces a significant risk to the user.
Unaltered diesel fuels thicken and “gel” in coldtemperatures, unless treated. Virtually all diesel fuelsare “climatized” to allow their use in the particularregion for that time of the year. If it becomesnecessary to further treat diesel fuel, it is theowner/operator’s responsibility to add a commercial“standard brand” “anti-gel” diesel fuel additive,following that product’s directions.

DescriptionThe D3.0L/150, D3.6L/180 and D4.2L/220 dieselengines use a throttle pintle type injector nozzle. Thistype of nozzle is used with a turbulence chamber(prechamber), which is located in the cylinder head.Fuel from the injection pump pushes against aspring-loaded needle in the nozzle. The spring iscalibrated to allow the needle to unseat at about2200 PSI (15500 kPa). The needle has a speciallyshaped pintle at the end. The pintle restricts theamount of fuel injected when the needle first starts toopen. Not until the needle is completely open is thefull amount of fuel injected. Because it promotes agradual pressure rise, this action gives “soft”combustion and therefore a smooth running engine.

Precautions
! WARNING
Always disconnect battery cables from batteryBEFORE working on fuel system to prevent fireor explosion.
! WARNING
Be careful when changing fuel systemcomponents; diesel fuel is flammable. Be surethat ignition key is OFF. DO NOT smoke or allowsources of open flame in the area while changingfuel system components. Wipe up any spilledfuel immediately. DO NOT allow fuel to come intocontact with any hot surface which may cause itto ignite.
! WARNING
Dispose of fuel soaked rags, paper, etc. in anappropriate air tight, fire retardant container.Fuel soaked items may spontaneously ignite andresult in a fire hazard which could cause seriousbodily injury or death.
! WARNING
Make sure that no fuel leaks exist, before closingengine hatch.
! CAUTIONDO NOT operate engine without cooling waterbeing supplied to seawater pump, or impeller willbe damaged and subsequent overheating damageto engine may result.
! WARNING
Electrical system components on this engine arenot external ignition protected. DO NOT STORE ORUTILIZE GASOLINE ON BOATS EQUIPPED WITHTHESE ENGINES, UNLESS PROVISIONS HAVEBEEN MADE TO EXCLUDE GASOLINE VAPORSFROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT (ref: 33 CFR).Failure to comply could result in fire, explosionand/or severe personal injury.
! WARNING
FIRE HAZARD: Fuel leakage from any part of thefuel system can be a fire hazard which can causeserious bodily injury or death. Careful periodicinspection of entire fuel system is mandatory,particularly after storage. All fuel componentsincluding fuel tanks, whether plastic, metal orfiberglass, fuel lines, primers, fittings, and fuelfilters should be inspected for leakage, softening,hardening, swelling or corrosion. Any sign ofleakage or deterioration requires replacementbefore further engine operation.
! WARNING
Safety glasses should be worn while working onfuel injection system. The fuel injection pump willgenerate pressures in excess of 2000 P.S.I. (13790kPa). Use caution when removing injectors,injector lines, or bleeding air from injectionsystem.
IMPORTANT: Mercury Marine does notrecommend fuel injectors be disassembled forservice. If an injector tester is not available,substitute a new injector for any injectors thoughtto be faulty.
! CAUTIONDue to fuel injector design changes the 530 D-TA,636 D-TA, D183 and D219 Model fuel injector MUSTNOT be used in a D254, D3.0L/150, D3.6L/180 or aD4.2L/220 engine under any conditions. However,the new-style D254 or a D4.2L/220 fuel injectorCAN BE used in all engines as a replacement.(Refer to QUICKSILVER PARTS CATALOG.)

Oil/Power Steering/Transmission Fluid CoolersCooling efficiency of an engine and components isgreatly dependent upon heat transfer through thetubes within the coolers (heat exchanger orexchangers, if equipped with more than one). Duringengine operation, contaminants within the seawater(such as salt, silt, lime, etc.) collect on the inside ofthe tubes, thus reducing heat transfer and greatlydecreasing cooler (heat exchanger) efficiency.
It is therefore, recommended that the seawatercoolers be cleaned every 200 hours of operation orat least once a year, or whenever decreased coolingefficiency is suspected.
Additionally, inspect cooler hoses and clamps:
For Saltwater Use: Every 50 hours of operationor 60 days, at least once yearly.
For Freshwater Use: Every 100 hours ofoperation or 120 days, at least once yearly.
IMPORTANT: If the possibility of freezing exists,seawater section, and associated heat exchang-ers, MUST BE drained to prevent freeze damageto cooling system and engine. Seawater sectionalso should be drained if boat is to be stored foran extended period of time, to prevent corrosiondamage.
90-806934 11946A-18 – SEAWATER SYSTEM
! CAUTIONSeawater cooling system MUST BE completelydrained for storage, or trapped water may causefreeze and/or corrosion damage to engine and/orcomponents.
! CAUTIONIf boat is in the water, seacock (if so equipped)MUST BE left closed until engine is to berestarted, to prevent water from flowing back intothe cooling system and to prevent contaminatedwater from entering the system. If boat is notfitted with a seacock, water inlet hose MUST BEleft disconnected and plugged to prevent waterfrom flowing into cooling system and/or boat. Asa precautionary measure, attach a tag to theignition switch or steering wheel with theWARNING that the seacock MUST BE opened orthe water inlet hose reconnected prior to startingthe engine.
IMPORTANT: A wire should be repeatedlyinserted into drain holes to ensure that foreignmaterial is not obstructing the drain holes.
IMPORTANT: To prevent threads from rusting outduring storage, reinstall plugs using Perfect Sealon threads. NEVER leave drain plugs out aftercleaning or during storage.

Description
The closed cooling system is composed of two sepa-rate sub-systems; the seawater system (Discussedin SECTION 6A.) and the closed cooling system. Theheat from the closed cooling system is absorbed bythe seawater system as seawater passes throughcooling tubes in the coolant tank (usually referred toas “the heat exchanger”). The closed cooling systemis similar in function, therefore, to the cooling systemin an automobile.
Coolant (antifreeze mixture) is circulated through theengine block. turbocharger housing, exhaust man-ifold, and closed coolant tank by a belt driven waterpump.
All engines covered by this manual use an identicaltriple cavity coolant tank, or heat exchanger, for theclosed cooling system to maintain engine coolant andengine oil temperatures, and to provide an expansiontank. The closed coolant tank mounted on the frontof the engine has separate cooling tube sections forengine coolant and engine oil.
On these engines seawater flows through the coolingtubes, which are joined inside the coolant tank. Oiland coolant flow around the outside of the coolingtubes in separated cavities. Engine coolant circula-tion and temperature are controlled by two thermo-stats in a remote engine mounted housing. Oil tem-perature is controlled by a block mounted thermostatin the oil filter header, which controls oil circulation tothe separated cooling tubes.
The third cavity, on top of the heat exchangers withthe filler neck and pressure cap, serves as the expan-sion tank. The systems are pressurized to raise theboiling point of the coolant - s special, QuicksilverPremixed Marine Engine Coolant.
Each engine has a coolant recovery system whichkeeps the closed coolant tank full. This system ac-cepts overflow during warm-up and then, allows cool-ant to be drawn into the closed coolant tank as the en-gine cools. As long as there is coolant in the recoverybottle, the reservoir in the expansion tank should re-main completely full. If the recovery bottle does notfunction properly, there is a vacuum leak, usually atthe hose leaving the reservoir, or the gasket under thepressure cap. The pressure cap gasket seals againstthe outer rim of the filler neck, unless it is defective,and causing a vacuum leak.
Maintaining Coolant Level
Before starting engine each day, check to ensure thatcoolant is visible in coolant recovery bottle.
If coolant is not visible, check coolant (fresh water)section of cooling system (including coolant recoverysystem) for leaks and repair, as necessary. Refillcoolant section with recommended coolant solution,as outlined under “Changing Closed Cooling SystemCoolant,” as outlined in the following section.
If coolant is visible, start engine and run until itreaches normal operating temperature, then recheckcoolant level in coolant recovery bottle. Coolant levelMUST BE between the “Add” and “Full” marks (onfront of bottle). If level is low, remove fill cap fromcoolant recovery bottle and add required amountQuicksilver Premixed Marine Engine Coolant. Iffrequent additions of coolant are required, checkclosed cooling section for leaks.

! CAUTIONAlcohol or methanol base antifreeze or plain wa-ter are not recommended for use in cooling sys-tem at any time.
CLOSED COOLING SYSTEM – 6B-790-806934 1194
! WARNING
DO NOT remove coolant pressure cap when theengine is hot - coolant may discharge violently,causing severe burns.
! CAUTIONIf the coolant should get extremely low and theengine very hot, let the engine cool for approxi-mately 15 minutes before adding coolant; then,with the engine running, add coolant slowly. Ad-ding cold coolant to a hot engine may crack thecylinder head or crankcase. Never use wateralone.
Occasionally, check to ensure that coolant recoverysystem is functioning properly by removing pressurecap from heat exchanger and checking level. Afterengine has cooled down, turn pressure cap1/4-turn to allow any pressure to escape slowly,then push down and turn cap all-the-way off.Coolant level should be up to bottom of heatexchanger filler neck. If low, inspect entire closedcooling coolant (fresh water) section (especiallycoolant recovery system) for leaks and repair, asnecessary.
IMPORTANT: When reinstalling pressure cap, besure to tighten it until its contact stops on fillerneck.
Changing (Replacing)Coolant
Coolant Requirement
! CAUTIONAlcohol or methanol base antifreeze or plain wa-ter are not recommended for use in cooling sys-tem at any time.
IMPORTANT: Quicksilver Premixed Marine En-gine Coolant contains special low silicate ethy-lene glycol, special additives, and purified water.Use of other coolant may cause fouling of theheat exchangers, and overheating of the engine.
It is required that the coolant section of the ClosedCooling Section be filled with Quicksilver PremixedMarine Engine Coolant . this premixed formula re-quires no mixing with water or other additives; low sili-cate formula prevents silicate gelling which can re-strict engine cooling passages. Quicksilver enginecoolant provides protection down to –33°F (–38°C).
DO NOT MIX the new antifreeze/coolant mixture withthe old solution or it will cause particles to form in thecoolant. These small particles can settle in the heatexchangers and restrict coolant flow. Drain and flushthe old coolant from the closed cooling system as re-quired.
Change IntervalThe old coolant should be drained from the closedcooling system every 200 hours of use or once yearly,whichever occurs first. Refer to “Cleaning ClosedCooling System”, whenever decreased cooling effi-ciency is experienced.

Testing The System
Testing Coolant for Alkalinity
! WARNING
Allow engine to cool before removing pressurecap as sudden loss of pressure could cause hotcoolant to boil and discharge violently. After en-gine has cooled, turn cap 1/4 turn to allow anypressure to escape slowly, then push down andturn cap all the way off.
Coolant in closed cooling (fresh water) section shouldbe changed every two years and should be checkedfor alkalinity at least once between change intervals.To check coolant for alkalinity, proceed as follows:
1. Obtain pink litmus paper from a local supplier(drug store, pet shop, etc.).
2. Remove pressure cap from heat exchanger andinsert one end of litmus paper into coolant.
3. If pink litmus paper turns blue, coolant is alka-line and need not be replaced.
4. If pink litmus paper remains pink, coolant is notalkaline and MUST BE REPLACED, as explainedunder “Changing Coolant.”
Pressure Testing System
! WARNING
Allow engine to cool before removing pressurecap. Sudden loss of pressure could cause hotcoolant to boil and discharge violently. After en-gine has cooled, turn cap 1/4 turn to allow anypressure to escape slowly, then push down andturn cap all the way off.
If coolant section of closed cooled section is sus-pected of leaking or not holding sufficient pressure,and no visible signs of leakage can be found, performthe following test:
1. Remove pressure cap from heat exchanger orreservoir.
2. Clean, inspect and pressure test pressure cap, asoutlined under “Testing Pressure Cap,” to elimi-nate the possibility that cap is not maintainingproper pressure in system and is causing coolantto boil over.
3. Clean inside of filler neck to remove any depositsor debris. Examine lower inside sealing surfacefor nicks or other damage. Surface must be per-fectly smooth to achieve a good seal between itand rubber seal on cap. Also check locking camson sides of filler neck to be sure that they are notbent or damaged. If locking cams are bent ordamaged, pressure cap will not hold the properpressure.
4. Adjust coolant level in fresh water section to 1 in.(25 mm) below filler neck.
CLOSED COOLING SYSTEM – 6B-1190-806934 1194
5. Attach an automotive-type cooling system pres-sure tester to filler neck and pressurize closedcooled section to amount specified in followingchart, based on pressure cap rating for your en-gine.
Pressure Cap RatingAmount of PressureApplied to Closed
Cooled Section
14 PSI (97 kPa) 20 PSI (137 kPa)
6. Observe gauge reading for approximately twominutes; pressure should not drop during thistime. If pressure drops, proceed with the followingsteps until leakage is found.
7. While maintaining specified pressure on closedcooled section, visually inspect external portion ofcooling system (hoses, gaskets, drain plugs, coreplugs, circulating pump seal, etc.) for leakage.Also listen closely for bubbling or hissing, as theyusually are a sure indication of a leak.
8. Refer to “Testing Heat Exchanger” in this sectionand test as outlined.
9. If no leakage could be found in above steps, en-gine is leaking internally, and it probably is due toone or more of the following: (1) loose cylinderhead bolts or damaged gasket, (2) loose turbo-charger bolts or damaged gasket, (3) loose ex-haust elbow or damaged gasket, (4) cracked orporous cylinder head or block, or (5) cracked orporous exhaust manifold. Proceed as follows untillocation of internal leak is found.
a. Start engine. Pressurize system to previouslyspecified amount and observe pressuregauge on tester. If needle in gauge vibrates,compression or combustion is leaking intoclosed cooled section from a leak in the com-bustion chamber. Stop engine.
b. Remove glow plugs (one at a time) from cylin-ders and examine for presence of coolant. Aglow plug that is perfectly clean or milky ap-pearing is a sure indication of a leak.
c. Drain oil from engine and examine for pres-ence of coolant. Oil usually will be milky ifcoolant is present. If coolant is present, re-move engine from boat and remove the oilpan. With engine in the upright position, pres-surize closed cooled section to previouslyspecified amount and examine internal sur-faces of engine to locate leak.
d. If no leakage can be found in above steps, en-tire engine must be disassembled and in-spected for leakage.
Testing for Cylinder Head GasketLeakA leaking head gasket will cause combustion gas tobe forced into the cooling system. The mixture ofcoolant and tiny air bubbles is a poor heat conductorand will overheat an engine quickly. Compressiontests or cooling system pressure check normally willnot detect the leak because the test pressure is farbelow the combustion pressures which cause theleak. An effective test is as follows:
IMPORTANT: Run boat in lake for this test. It isbest to run the engine at or above cruising speedduring this test. Usually a failed head gasket willnot cause the engine to overheat below cruisingspeed.
1. Install a clear plastic hose between the reservoirand coolant recovery bottle. Use a 2-3 ft. (61-91cm) long hose for this test.
2. Route this hose so a “U” is formed.
3. Put enough coolant into hose to fill the center 4 or5 inches (10-13 cm) of the “U.”
4. Observe the “U” while the engine is running.
a. During Idle and Warm-Up: Some coolantand/or air will leave the reservoir.
b. During Cruising Speed (2800 - 3200 RPM):Coolant and/or air leaving the reservoirshould stop after approximately five minutesrunning at a given RPM. A leaking head gas-ket will produce air bubbling through the “U,”going to the coolant recovery bottle. The fre-quency and size of the bubbles will depend onthe size of the leak.
c. At Higher Speeds (3200 - 3800 onD3.0L/150 and D3.6L/180 Engines or 3200- 3600 on D4.2L/220 Engines): Normal op-eration is the same as described in “b” above.A failed head gasket will cause the bubbles tocome faster and may be accompanied by vio-lent, intermittent bursts of coolant.
It is important not to confuse normal warm-up expan-sion with a failed head gasket. Normal warm-up pro-duces an intermittent flow of coolant which will stopwithin approximately five minutes at a given RPM. Ahead gasket leak will not stop because the one thingthat marks a failed head gasket is the continued pas-sage of air. This may be accompanied by violent, in-termittent bursts of coolant leaving the reservoir. Ifcoolant continues to flow (not in violent, intermittentbursts) from the reservoir at cruising speed, some-thing other than the head gasket is causing the en-gine to overheat.
6B-12 - CLOSED COOLING SYSTEM 90-806934 1194
Testing Pressure CapPressure cap is designed to maintain a pressure ofapproximately its rated capacity (refer to “Specifica-tions”) in closed cooled section once engine has at-tained operating temperature. Cap should becleaned, inspected and pressure-tested at regulartune-up intervals or whenever cap is suspected ofmaintaining improper pressure as follows:
! WARNING
Allow engine to cool before removing pressurecap. Sudden loss of pressure could cause hotcoolant to boil and discharge violently. After en-gine has cooled, turn cap 1/4 turn to allow anypressure to escape slowly, then push down andturn cap all the way off.
1. Carefully remove pressure cap from reservoir orheat exchanger.
2. Wash cap with clean water to remove any depos-its or debris from sealing surfaces.
3. Inspect gasket (if used) and rubber seal on cap fortears, cuts, cracks or other signs of deterioration.Replace gasket, if damaged, or entire cap if rub-ber seal is damaged.

a - Rubber Seal (Cap MUST BE Replaced if Damaged)b - Gasket (Look for Cracks under Gasket)c - Locking Tabs (1 Hidden)
4. Check that locking tabs on cap are not bent ordamaged.
5. Using a cooling system pressure tester (similar toone shown), test cap to be sure that it releases atproper pressure and does not leak. (Refer to in-structions which accompany tester for correct testprocedure.) Cap must relieve pressure at 14 PSI(97 kPa), and must hold rated pressure for 30 se-conds without going below 11 PSI (76 kPa). Re-place cap if it fails to fall within these lim-its.

1. Installation is the reverse of procedures for re-moval. Refer to the preceding instructions “Re-moval.” Also, observe the following:
• Remove all old gasket material from mating sur-faces.
• ALWAYS use a new thermostat housing gasket.
• Apply Quicksilver Perfect Seal to the new gasket.
• Torque the six housing screws evenly, in a diago-nal pattern, to 132 lb. in. (16 N·m).
• Tighten hose clamps securely.
2. Refer to “Filling Closed Cooling Section” instruc-tions and fill system with Quicksilver PremixedMarine Engine Coolant.
3. Run test engine - observe temperature gaugeand check for leaks.
Heat Exchanger
Testing
FOR INTERNAL LEAK:
An internal leak will cause coolant to go into the sea-water circuit when pressure is put on the closed cool-ing circuit.
1. Remove top seawater (inlet) hose from the ex-changer. Do not drain the exchanger.
2. Pressurize the closed cooling circuit to 20 PSI(137 kPa) with a radiator tester.
3. If seawater begins to flow from the nipple there isa leak.
FOR BLOCKAGE:
IMPORTANT: Seawater flows THROUGH thetubes in the exchanger. Closed cooling coolantflows AROUND the tubes.
1. Remove end caps and inspect for any blockagein the seawater circuit (weeds, etc.).
2. Remove closed cooling circuit hoses and inspectthe tubes just inside the nipples. Because thecomplete heat exchanger cannot be inspected,the heat exchanger should be replaced if block-age is suspected.
RepairIMPORTANT: Braze with BCUP 2 rod or silver sol-der. Care must be taken not to melt other jointsduring repair.
1. Internal leaks can be repaired by brazing shut theends of the leaking tube. This is only a temporaryfix because usually another tube will start leakingafter a short period of time and this also causesa reduction in cooling capacity. Do not close morethan three tubes.
2. Nipples and drains that have been broken off theheat exchanger can be reattached by brazing.

DescriptionSeawater is pumped through a radiator insert (heatexchanger core) in the intercooler while the engineis running.
There is an anode in the front cover and a seawaterdrain plug in the rear cover of all intercoolers.
All diesel engines covered in this manual use an in-tercooler (sometimes referred to as an “aftercooler”or “air cooler”) to cool the intake air before it entersthe cylinders. On D3.0L/150 and D3.6L/180 enginesthe intercooler housing has a separate intake ductretained with screws on the outer side. On theD4.2L/220 engines the intercooler is a one-piece-casting with a smaller intake duct screwed on therear-most end. On all engines the intake duct con-nects to the turbocharger by a section of hose withclamps.

Description
TurbochargerAll diesel engines covered in this manual areequipped with a turbocharger to boost intakepressure resulting in increased horsepower. In onecasing on the turbocharger housing exhaust gasesare used to spin the turbine up to 100,000 RPM. Thecompressor, which is installed on the same shaft butin a separate casing, draws in filtered air,compresses it, and delivers it to the engine throughan intake duct and intercooler.
The turbo bearings are lubricated by engine oil.
Coolant from the engine’s closed cooling systemcools the turbocharger housing, while the exhaustelbow is cooled by seawater flowing through it fromthe seawater system.
On D3.0L/150 and D3.6L/180 Engines: Turbopressure, or boost, is limited by engine RPM.
On D4.2L/220 Engines: Turbo pressure is limited bya boost pressure control valve (commonly called a“wastegate”) is mounted on the combinedexhaust/intake manifold.
WastegateWhen used in combination with the turbocharger (onthe D4.2L/220 engines only) a higher torque outputeven at low engine speeds is obtained and allows theengine a wider operating speed range.
The function of the wastegate is to limit the boostpressure generated by the turbocharger within acontrolled tolerance band.
When factory set boost pressure is exceeded, thevalve opens and bypasses a part of the exhaust gasflow around the turbine. The resulting reducedmass-flow produces a lower power output. Thecompressor output is reduced in proportion and theboost pressure falls to the predetermined level. Thiscontrol process is repeated for each change inengine load.
This allows the use of a smaller turbocharger turbinewhich provides better acceleration and torque, asboost comes on more rapidly and turbo lag isreduced.

IMPORTANT: Before suspecting the turbochargerfor engine running problems, the fuel injectionsystem and engine mechanicals (valves, cam-shaft, etc.) must be in good working order.
TurbochargerTesting Turbocharger Boost Pressure
! CAUTIONSafety glasses, gloves and protective clothingshould be worn while testing turbocharger boostpressure, to protect against pressurized air beingreleased by a leak or rupture of a hose which couldcause injury.
The following should be observed prior to testing:
Engine should be at normal operatingtemperature.
Engine air cleaner should be clean (or replacedif not clean).
1. Remove plug (screw with sealing washer) fromintercooler housing as shown.

2. Install a 0-25 psi (0-172.4 kPa) pressure gaugeinto intercooler where plug was removed in Step 1.
3. Start engine and watch pressure gauge.
On D3.0L/150 and D3.6L/180 Engines:Maximum boost should be between 12.5 - 16 psi(82.7 - 110.3 kPa) at 3800 RPM.
On D4.2L/220 Engines: Maximum boost shouldbe between 14.5 - 18 psi (100 - 124 kPa) at 3600RPM.
Readings LOWER than specified above indicatepossible turbocharger problem(s), or boost pressurecontrol system problems (D4.2L/220 engines only),IF no engine problem exists, such as incorrect valveclearance or a blockage in the exhaust system (referto appropriate Sections in this manual, including“Troubleshooting”). NO boost pressure wouldindicate a faulty turbocharger requiring replacement.
Checking Turbine Bearings(Assembled)1. Refer to the following section Turbocharger -
“Removal” and remove exhaust elbow as out-lined for your engine.
2. Rotate the turbine impeller by hand to see that itturns smoothly. If not, turbine bearings or impel-ler problems exist.
3. Using a feeler gauge as shown, check clearancebetween turbine blades and housing at two loca-tions opposite one another. The difference in thetwo readings is the radial play. Maximum radialplay is .0165 in. (0.42mm).

GeneralThe Hurth transmission is a “full power reversing”transmission, allowing a standard (LH rotation) en-gine to be used for both rotations. Propeller rotationis determined by shift cable attachment at the remotecontrol.
IMPORTANT: Transmission propeller rotation isdetermined by the shift cable installation in theremote control.
• RIGHT-HAND PROPELLER ROTATION - Controlcable will have to be installed in remote control so thatcable end will move in direction (A) when shift handle isplaced in the forward position.
• LEFT-HAND PROPELLER ROTATION - Control cablewill have to be installed in remote control so that cableend will move in direction (B) when shift handle isplaced in the forward position.

HURTH DOWN ANGLE TRANSMISSION - 8A-390-806934 1194
Shift Cable Installation andAdjustmentThese Hurth transmissions are full reversing trans-missions. Direction of output/propeller rotation isdetermined by hookup of shift cable at remotecontrol.
Shift cable must be hooked up to remote controlbefore starting installation and adjustment proce-dures.
For Right Hand Propeller Rotation – shift cablehookup at remote control must result in shift cableend guide moving in direction “A”, when remotecontrol handle is placed in forward position.
For Left Hand Propeller Rotation – shift cablehookup at remote control must result in shift cableend guide moving in direction “B”, when remotecontrol handle is placed in forward position.

GeneralThe Hurth transmission is a “full power reversing”transmission, allowing a standard (LH rotation) en-gine to be used for both rotations. Propeller rotationis determined by shift cable attachment at the remotecontrol.
IMPORTANT: Transmission propeller rotation isdetermined by the shift cable installation in theremote control.
• RIGHT-HAND PROPELLER ROTATION - Con-trol cable will have to be installed in remote controlso that cable end will move in direction “A” whenshift handle is placed in the forward position.
• LEFT-HAND PROPELLER ROTATION - Controlcable will have to be installed in remote control sothat cable end will move in direction “B” when shifthandle is placed in the forward position.
23242
HURTH V-DRIVE TRANSMISSION - 8B-390-806934 1194
Shift Cable Installation andAdjustmentThese Hurth transmissions are full reversing trans-missions. Direction of output/propeller rotation isdetermined by hookup of shift cable at remotecontrol.
Shift cable must be hooked up to remote controlbefore starting installation and adjustment proce-dures.
For Right Hand Propeller Rotation – shift cablehookup at remote control must result in shift cableend guide moving in direction “A”, when remotecontrol handle is placed in forward position.
For Left Hand Propeller Rotation – shift cablehookup at remote control must result in shift cableend guide moving in direction “B”, when remotecontrol handle is placed in forward position.

Filling and Bleeding PowerSteering SystemIMPORTANT: Poser Steering Systems MUST BEfilled exactly as explained, in the following, to besure that all air is bled from the system. All airmust be removed, or fluid in the pump may foamduring operation and be discharged from pumpreservoir. Foamy fluid also may cause POWERSteering Systems to become spongy, which mayresult in poor boat control.
1. Position drive unit straight back. Remove capfrom power steering reservoir and check fluid lev-el with the attached dipstick.

Max.Min.
2. Add Quicksilver Power Trim and Steering Fluid orDexron ATF to bring fluid up to the correct level.
3. With the engine NOT running, turn the steeringwheel at a moderate rate, back-and-forth, to endof travel for a few seconds to allow any air tobubble from pump reservoir. Do this a minimumof 5 complete cycles. Recheck fluid level and addif necessary.
4. Install reservoir cap.
! CAUTIONDO NOT operate engine without water being sup-plied to seawater pickup holes in gear housing(on MCM Stern Drive Models) and to seawater in-let for seawater pump (ALL Models). Overheatingdamage to seawater pump impeller and enginemay occur.
5. Position boat in the water or see that water is sup-plied to seawater pickup holes in gear housing(using a suitable flush device( and to seawater in-let for seawater pump (using suitable adaptor),connected to hose, or hoses attached to watertap..
NOTE: If using test tank or boat is in the water, ensurethat stern drive gear housing water intake holes andseawater pickup are below water level.
6. Partially open water tap(s) (approximately 1/2maximum) to hose(s) and allow water to entercooling system. DO NOT use full tap water pres-sure.
7. Start engine and run AT IDLE. During this time,turn steering wheel back-and-forth to end of travelin each direction several times.
8. Position drive unit so that it is straight back andthen stop the engine. Remove the reservoir cap.Allow any foam in the reservoir to disperse, thencheck fluid level and add fluid if needed. DO NOTOVERFILL. Install and tighten the cap securely.
9. If fluid was foamy in Step 6., repeat Steps 7 and8, until the fluid does not foam and the level re-mains constant.
