2005 Bayliner 185 4.3 Mercruiser
When first up and running all the guages read steady. After about a half hour the tach, oil pressure and temp guages all begin an intermitant flutter in synch with each other. They all flutter at the same time. The boat runs ok until after about an hour and then the engine begins to hesitate. This gets worse the longer it runs. After cooling it runs smooth and the guages are steady. It has ben suggested that this may be a heat related electrical issue. Does the fact that the guages are moving irregularly but at he same time give a clue as to where I may want to start looking for a bad connection? Could the stalling be an electical connection affecting the neutral safety switch or the key ignition switch? Thanks for any input.
