Hello everyone. Just wanted to say hi and thanks to all that post. My wife and I recently purchased a 1991 270 Sundancer. It has twin 4.3's. I purchased a trailer at the same time and it hasnt been in the water just yet. We have big plans for it with new upolstery and such. I will be sure to add...

Hi, I am somewhat new and still have difficulty using the search so let me apologize if this has been asked. I decided to replace my control shift handle that holds the trim switches. I took the handle off and decided due to the trim wires it would be easiest to take the control box apart fish...

I am interested in finding out if it would be a good idea to change out the twin 454 in a 1988 340 DA with a small block. If anyone has any information or has done this please let me know how it worked and what other modifications if any are required such as prop or transmission.

I have a 300 Sundancer with twin 350. One of my engines has recently started giving me problems. I am not sure if i have multiple problems or if its one thing. The engine is original 1987 and has around 550 hours. raw water cooled and runs in salt water. The manifolds are in decent condition. I...

Sounds similar to mine however mine pulls water from the forward, port side of the tank which is the highest point. If I spin the tank around it would be in the same location which would be perfect but then the filler and vent holes would be in the middle of my storage compartment. What type of...

Water management is certainly something we will need to work on. I am in saltwater and my head draws from the tank. I took the tank out today and I am going to see if I can find someone that can put another fitting in tank where it is lowest while the boat is in the water. Not sure if that is...

This past weekend was the first time I spent the night on my new boat. I ran out of fresh water quickly, I am sure much of the reason had to do with the amount of people I had with me but I decided to look at the tank to see if there was anything I could do to improve the amount of water I can...

I am replacing my port side engine due to water intrusion. I assumed like everyone else i talked to that it was from the exhaust manifolds. I recently purchased the boat and was not sure. Turns out i have a crack in the intake manifold and it seems they are much harder to locate than the exhaust...

I have a 87 300 Sundancer I need to take out of the water to replace a motor. Does anyone know of anyone in this area that has a trailer to rent? The boat is in the water now I need to put it on a trailer and tow it less than 5 miles to the mechanic and then put it back in. Any information would...

I am new to this site so please excuse me if I am repeating a question that has been asked many times. I did use the search and did not find an answer I was looking for. I need to replace my exhaust manifolds and risers. I keep my boat in the water in salt water always. It is raw water cooled...

I appreciate you response however I don't think anyone is confused as to what direction the rotation is. I was simple asking if I would need the entire outdrive (upper and lower) or just the lower unit in order to change the rotation of my port engine. I asked the question of the 4 blade props...

Vince I am certain that mine is not counter rotating. I had the boat surveyed and asked that specific question as well as had it confirmed when the boat was recently delivered. Publicnuisance, I appreciate the info about the bearings. Thats makes sense and I guess I need to get more information...

I am a new owner of an 87 300 sundancer which i have not even viewed in person yet. I have been reading this forum for ideas and this was one of them. My question after looking at the SEI website is this. If i replace my port side outdrive with the counter-rotating do i need to replace the...
