Product Make: MerCruiser 3.0L MPI Engines

Marine Power International Pty Ltd has become aware that some MerCruiser 3.0L MPI engines may experience the following issues:
The starter engages and cranks the engine, but the engine does not start
The starter does not operate or crank the engine
There is a potential for a portion of the engine wiring harness to be pinched or its insulation chafed due to an incorrect routing of the harness, possibly resulting in a direct electrical short circuit.

The system is protected from electrical short circuits with a 90-amp fuse located on the starter solenoid and a 50-amp circuit breaker located on the wire harness bracket. Depending on the circumstances, either the 90-amp fuse may blow or the 50-amp circuit breaker may trip. 

People with an affected engine (as per the above table) should contact their nearest Mercury MerCruiser Dealer who will arrange for the engine to be inspected and rectified if required at the expense of Marine Power International Pty Ltd.
