    Mercury 175xr2 Sport Jet No Spark

    I’ve got a 1997 Euroline Cyclone with a Merc 175xr2 Sport Jet, and I am getting no spark.

    Fuel Delivery 175 XR2

    I'm looking for someone to verify or correct my understanding of fuel delivery. Before I start buying parts randomly LOL! 1.

    1997 Mirage Sport 175, overheated engine

    The 175 V6 engine on my Mirage Sport overheated last year and ingested saltwater. The spark plugs were rusted a few days later when the dealer was checking it over and am pretty sure one or both of the heads are warped. The boat and trailer are in nice condition for its age but I'm confused...

    Jet Boat fuel problems after replacing switch box

    Okay, looking for some advice. I have a 2000 Sugar Sands Tango with Mercury 175 Sport Jet Drive. Recently I was having trouble starting it and we traced the problem to the Switch Box.
