  1. Hi Alan,

     

    When your Cruiser is equipped with factory installed air conditioning you will have 2 shore power outlets and the boat is shipped with 2 shore power cords.

     

    Before you purchase another shore power cord or splitter, check the dockside power source...If your dockside outlet is 50 amp service, 2 seperate cords are best. If dockside is 30 amp service, you can use a splitter.

     

    When using a splitter, keep in mind that you will not be able to use all appliances/accessories at the same time. For example, you want to turn on the air conditioning first and let it run for a while, then turn on the regfrigerator and wait a while before using anything else.

     

    By using 2 seperate shore cords you will get better power results- especially when running the air conditioner.


  2. Hello bunndc,

     

    If you are not seeing anything in the bilge it is possible that the port power steering pump cooler has developed a small leak. The cooler is a sealed tube within a tube that allows sea water (or raw water) to travel over it to cool the fluid. Over time, corrosion can cause a tiny hole (or holes) to develop in the innner tube that holds the fluid. That leaking fluid mixes with the sea water and continues through the exhaust system and out of the boat. It might be best to seek the advice of a certified Merc or Volvo technician to fully diagnose.

     

    To answer your other questions:

     

    Keep the port pump in good working order- it can serve as a spare if you experience a starboard pump failure.

    You may or may not hear whining in the pump until the fluid becomes critically low and cause damage to the pump.

     

    Another one of those "Preventative Maintenance" items!


  3. Hello Rich,

     

    You will need to talk with a certified Mercruiser service center (having your engine serial number will provide quicker service)for the correct information on your 1999 engine parts. To find the one closest to you go to www.mercurymarine.com or call 405-743-6566 in Oklahoma.
