    Transmission not engaging with new engine

    Thank you All for the replies. Tough call to take the boat now... i do not know what is worst...i need to be able to ask the mechanic a couple of questions to make him own the issue and fix it

    Transmission not engaging with new engine

    Yes, V drive inboards, fluid is ok. I am concerned mechanic is giving me the run around. The transmission was ok before engine swap. And is taking 4 months when he said engine swap and tune up of other engine going to be done in 1 week...

    Transmission not engaging with new engine

    Hello to All, 340 1983 454 Mercruiser Gen 4 mechanic replaced and he says transmission is not engaging at all.... After months of having the boat at his shop... Any thoughts/ideas? Excuse the basic question, does each engine has its own transmission? Thank you in advance.

    Yes, definitely. Would it be possible to maneuver with just one of the inboards?

    One of the engines seems ok, needs starter, other has water. Any ideas on how much would the work to replacing the engines cost? Any alternatives to replace generator?

    Thank you for the comment. I would need to be able to reverse, slip on tight canal round a corner...

    AC on Sea Ray 340 sedan Bridge 1983

    Hello to All, Anyone knows where is the AC on this boat? Would I need both lines connected to shore power? How many AMPs require? If not both, which line would I I need? Does it have chillers? Pump? Anything else would need to be on? Thank you in adavance

    UPDATE: Just found out engines had been flooded from rain water. They were working fine until then. Any hopes and/or special recommendations to fix them?

    Thank you for your response. I was hoping slapping a 20/30hp would be enough to get around the canals and bay within 30 minutes radius.

    Thank you for your comment. I get it, boating=$. Just trying to find cost effective solution for the intended use of the boat, again navigating on canals and bay within 30 minutes radius.
