I hook these up and do all the programing everyday but I still found this video interesting.

[@tlindsey9769]

I went to the OMC factory school 30 years ago. What happened that the engines have become so complicated. Back then the engine was simple to maintain and MUCH less expensive. Thank you.

[@PFLEONARDI0906]

Great video again! Regarding the steering switch with multiple batteries; if you hook multiple batteries in parallel you’ll have the amps for the steering and then you dont need that switch. Just make sure the batteries are all the same type...and the charging by the alternator is properly set for the charging all the batteries or use a combiner for charging. That will keep the wiring costs down besides the complexity when troubleshooting...thanks again for your videos!!!

[@andrewfyakim525]

Love the fly-by-wire! The boat I have now is my first one to have it.... Another great video, Thank You!

Nice job explaining the components to these engines. Very interesting. I've never owned an outboard just Mercruisers & Alphas. Ty Sir!

[@jerryh.3065]

Thank you for making it look easy . All your videos are very informative and it will guide me on my first boat purchase.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Glad to help

[@keithohanesian8653]

I've had almost every engine under the sun. Last year I bought my first Verado and rigged my boat my self just like the rest of my boats. This system they have is awesome. Having it hooked into my Simrad telling me all the engine data. The troll control is awesome. Every 10 rpms it can be adjusted. With that being hooked into your auto pilot you can keep the boat positioned or slow down your drift. So #TYMERCURY for not just the bag but coming up with a great system and an awesome engine.

[@andover041254]

Love your videos and detailed explanations. Specifically the Ocean Master since i'm in the process of restoring a 31

[@dronegnd6057]

Hi, great video, really helpful, just bought a rough boston whaler 320 with verados, would like to be able to send you some pics, maybe a video about what i have going on, looks like my powerhead is about to fall off....

[@jasonu1123]

#TYMercury Great vid as always. 1 quick note, not sure if this is the final installation or onkly temporary, but starting right around 7:15, where you are stacking the battery cables. You really should be laying down all main battery cables first on to those terminals, and then stacking smaller accessory wires (IE the clean power wires) on top of the mains. As you have it now you are stacking main battery cables on top of smaller accessory wires. This can give you voltage spikes across the mains due to an intermittent or poor connection to the battery terminals. Also, I could be wrong but it looks like you are using standard nuts and not the nylon locknuts. Looking forward to next Tuesday!

[@oceanhense-dorroh6766]

What is the computer software used for syncing the binnacle?

[@cowboytintin01]

T on your hydraulic pump stands for tank. And a really good piece of advice is anytime you use O-ring face fitting put new O-rings in place to make sure you don't get a leak. O-ring face loves to leak if you use old rings. Use OEM not harbor freight rings

[@NguyenHaiNhi75]

Thanks for all the great videos. I'm trying to get a schematic with part numbers on how to rig my twin I/O. Can you help please? Thanks.

[@shaggy0913]

First, thank you for consistently posting great videos, I have learned significantly more from your videos than I have from any other videos on KZbin.... please keep posting! #TYMercury P. S. Any chance you could post a video on how to clean out a high pressure pump on an older Mercury 2 stroke? That’s a job I’m going to need to do very soon and watching you I believe I could make that happen! Thanks again!

[@pmxmotorsportllc6080]

Great videos, I have a 35 ft boat that I just installed 3 mercury Verados 2010 300,I have not been able to rig it because I can’t find online a riggin manual or installation manual, I have the main engine harness, but not sure what else is need it coming from the engine,

[@BornAgainBoating]

Bro you need a lot lol You should look into joining our Boater's Program, we have a weekly live and I would only be able to help the best from there with the messages, www.bornagainboating.com/ but you need CCM's, CCM harness, triple control box, Resistor pack for the trip, the steering sensing wires, the steering pump and wiring, the clean power harnesses, the helm, the steering hoses, the automatic power isolator, key switches, and other stuff :/

[@liemarkbarcelo4333]

This video tutorial is very helpful.i can also teach this to my new co-technician.i am also a mercury technician here in the phillipines.#TYMERCURY

[@earleclemans4836]

What do you know about the unused connector thats capped off on right side of optimax 90?

[@oatenar]

HI I have purchased a Verado 300 (that was one of a twin setup) and it came with all wiring, steering hydraulics and twin binnacle. Can I use the same wiring to run it as a single outboard OR will i be up for a complete helm kit? TIA

[@lesliettttt]

T Y MERCURY hello from Bermuda. love the tutorials.

[@cleytech1088]

What program is use for the motor and the goers. Or what is the software you using to do this kind of job

[@BornAgainBoating]

Mercury CDS G3, but it's a dealer program and you have to be connected with a Mercury Dealer :/

[@armed435]

#TYMercury Another great Verado video! I learn something every time I watch your videos.

[@christopherwebb7940]

Do you have any videos on adding a second station to a dual verado setup?

[@BornAgainBoating]

No we don't. But you basically just add a Y-harness and everything you see here. With the exception of not needing double steering stuff or an extra key switch or clean power. Besides that, you add the Y and then just add the second station :)

[@Jerryh31]

7:11 always put the battery terminals on from largest to smallest.

[@ReelObsessionJYG]

I got a optimax dts does the rigging work on a verado?

Where can I get new hydraulic steering hoses for the whole boat? 22ft bass boat. Thanks

[@davehawker5762]

#TYMERCURY Great, have Verado 300 and good to know how all the components fit together. Will go ahead and also clean the motor.

[@ericlambert7193]

#TYMercury Thank you for the videos, I have been working on a boat so I can get on the water to fish. Your videos are very helpful. You should have a contest to have someone come work with you ( for free) to get the confidence to fiberglass work!!! Lol I know I could use it!!

[@DLuxProdbeatz]

question. so if i have to set up a single dts control, do i have to use laptop to do so? or can i go through the steps you mentioned

[@donsreview-hakim]

Do you have to have power steering on a Verado? I had no idea what i was getting myself into when i purchased a used Verrado without the rigging. Can i just use my seatar helm with the verado ram?

[@BornAgainBoating]

Ouch, yeah, there is a lot that goes into the rigging. Um, I've never tried to use a verado ram with a normal hydraulic helm, I have no idea how well that would work, though you would think it would work ok, maybe a little stiff, but possibly ok, I have never tried it so if you do, please let me know how it goes! But definitely don't use that seastar helm if you use the power steering pump, it will blow out the seals, depending on what type of helm it is of course. You will need the return line to the pump, and also if it's a Uflex, those will work with that steering system, it's all about the pressure and the helm being able to handle that pressure.

[@donsreview-hakim]

@@BornAgainBoating thank you. They do sell adapters to use seastar lines on the verado orb fittings. They even carry those fittings at west marine. I'll let you know how it turns out. There has been a few guys to do it on TheHullTruth and they said it works just fine. Fingers crossed.

[@JeremyShick]

@BornAgainBoating I have a 2012 Verado Pro. It will sometimes get stuck around 2200 RPM and will not go past it. Sometimes it will stay that way. Sometimes, it's like a switch get's flipped and it will get full power. Doesn't seem to be a rhym or reason to it. Any ideas? Is it possibly a trim sensor? Some other electrical component? Maybe the shifter or computer?

[@BornAgainBoating]

I'd be looking for an air leak in the throttle body boot, map sensor boot, or the boost control valve boot :/

[@JeremyShick]

@ all the boots have been replaced, FSM also replaced.

[@bakervinci163]

Is this the same way a 2023 300r is set, With a hotfoot ?

[@DomingosVarela]

Hi, Your videos are always very good and educational! Can you tell how much is the value of Garmin 19x hvs antenna resistor? I already searched the internet but there is no information about the resistor value, just saying that we have to use to slowly the baud rate.

[@stevenmarcouillier2531]

came across your video trying to rewire my boat and i have a 225 mercury verado i am changing to a arc to charge my batteries and the steering has a 90amp fuse that goes to battery 1 my starter battery i do have trim tabs on the boat and that requires a 40amp fuse is that right if so I would have my motor battery the 5 amp fun a 40amp and a 90amp fuse all on my starter battery and of coarse the engine plus a 150amp fuse to go to the arc it seems that there is to much on the battery. can you make a video wiring a arc with the mercury 225 verado. thanks like your videos

[@BornAgainBoating]

You should really have two batteries :) and the steering pump should go to an isolator for the two before going to the pump :) We're working on some wiring videos but haven't gotten it done yet! Thank you for your support!

[@Edwards843]

How did you get G3 if youre not a mercury dealer?

[@dunieskysebastian2920]

Are you have any idea about mercury verado engine shift ecm trig 3 I have 2005 275 hp Verado

[@david_lbz1286]

I know this video is about an outboard. But, Do you have any tips, ideas or upgrades on how to make the steering on my inboard outboard tighter? It is cable driven and very sloppy. I know it was recently replaced but still loose. Btw keep these awesome videos coming

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thank you! Well, you dont have a lot of options when it comes to cables. Certain types are adjustable on the ends, but a lot of them aren't :/ I dont get to mess with a lot of them so I don't have much more information than that :(

[@david_lbz1286]

Is there a hydraulic conversion available?

[@loumatos2902]

Your a great teacher !!! #Ty Mercury

[@ExpatLife30]

Would love to see swap of Mercury 350 i6 to Mercury 300 v8. What do I need to buy besides a engine when repowering?

[@BornAgainBoating]

Nothing really, depending on what year your L6 is, based on you saying it's a 350 I'm assuming it's not an SCI but 2015 or newer, so yeah, rigging will all be compatible, but the length in the fuel hose, battery cables, 14 pin, steering harness, and the rigging that is going to the engine. You need to make sure you have the distance in the cable because all of the rigging connection points are now in the back of the engine, opposed to the L6 which are in the front.

[@nickgangone8314]

Great info!!

[@davidjohnson4001]

Great for as always can I ask a question tho I have a 2017 150 4 stroke mercury I'm trying to set my tilt hight so does not hit boat board when on trailer would be great if u could do a quick one if u have time the is mate

[@BornAgainBoating]

Hello, I think the 150's need to have a tilt limit module installed on the engine. They don't come with them from the factory or have the ability to set the trim limit without them :( You can try and press mode and the + button on the gauge until the menu shows up. Continue holding until it gets to calibration and then hit mode to scroll through until the trim option shows up. That just sets the trailer though, I don't think it will limit the trim.

Would you consider doing a clip featuring the Smart craft gauges? Just had my boat re powered from twin Verado 350”s to twin Sea pro 300”s. My smart gauges are not in sync anymore. Both gauges use to scroll by pressing just one gauge. Any help would be appreciated.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Hey Greg, congratulations on the repower! Easy fix, with the key switches on, just hold the menu and the plus button at the same time. Then continue to hold them together and you will see a menu screen, then a screens screen. Let go on the "screens" screen. Then click mode and scroll through the selections until you see a screen that says "remote control" turn that on on both gauges and they will be in sync again ;) hope this helps!

Are all verados drive by wire?

[@BornAgainBoating]

Yes

[@shingnosis]

So if I have a both already rigged I can't "just" change the engine because the serial numbers in the new engine and the control module won't match? Are all those separate rigging kits sold on ebay worthless? I'm confused.

[@BornAgainBoating]

No, basically anything made after around 2008 is compatible, but between 2004-2008 when the product was first developed and being perfected, there were changes made that made them not compatible. So, you would have to change out the CCM's in the helm whenever you repowered! Now, you just have to update the CCM's if they were made after 2008, or a certain version.

[@shingnosis]

@@BornAgainBoating Great response, thank you so much. Can an experienced home mechanic update the CCM or is a mercury tech and special laptop required?

[@eddietinoga5846]

Hello, I was wondering if you were able to help me out. I need the rigging for my two 2007 verado 275’s. The rigging kits online have no description of what’s included. I have the DTS modules, the binical control and battery cables. Do you know what part numbers I would have to order for the rest of the stuff? I need about 25’ for the 14 pins and the clean power and any other harness from engine to helm. Thank you so much. Any help would be appreciated.

Even if I have to purchase the DTS modules as part of a kit, I really wouldn’t mind. Unless it’s cheaper buying everything individually.
