As Wayne said go to auto parts store. I replaced my two gas shocks on my 210 sun deck engine cover and also the ski storage locker in bow floor. Bought them at NAPA auto parts for a small price. Bring your old ones and they will match them up.

sorry E.F.I. not M.P.I

Smart abs are what worked for me. I have a 1999 210 SD and have a heaver P.S.I tab on my port side due to port list and a lighter one on starboard side. Boat jumps right up on plain and not much noticeable speed loss. 5.0 MPI .I am very pleased with the results and boat rides level.

I have a 1999 210 Sundeck with a 5.0 E.F.I. and we love it. Its easy to trailer and sips fuel. The only problem I have had was a vapor lock problem after shut down and try to restart before it cooled down. Problem solved after installing check valve in intake hose after cool fuel unit. did this...

That hose is clear so that you can see if there is any fuel in it. if you see fuel in that line it means the fuel pump diaphragm is leaking. The hose as stated prior lets the fuel go to the engine and not into the bilge. The fuel pump should be replaced right away. That is the difference from a...

HI TOM what Mercruiser told you about hot water siphoning back when the engine is shut down is correct . I have a 1999 210 sd with a 5.0 T.B.I and had the same problem with vapor lock. I was told about all the fixes you talked about, the guys at Parker boats of Orlando Fl where I bought my Sea...

The water temp here in the Keys dropped to 79.9 down from 84 due to wind and rain for the past two weeks. Guess we would be the wussies if the water temp was 70. Looks like it was a great time, we have a sandbar that we all get together at and have the same fun. Everyone have a great and safe...

very very cool. I used to live in Huntington L.I. and knew Arther Knutson. They had a shipyard back in the day and built sub chasers for the Navy and I got to see some of the old parts and things that were left over from the war. Great boats built tough.

Easy go to display on top right of page and click on hybrid mode.

If your engine is fresh water cooled ( closed sys ) check as said by Pseudomind the heat exchanger. I had a 5.7 that would do the same thing at high R.P.M . and as soon as I backed off temp would drop back to normal.What it turned out to be was the impeller had failed and was replaced but all...

I have a 1999 210 sun deck 5.0 E.F.I and had same problem. I put most of the heavy stuff, cooler full of ice ,beer,water,ect... in storage locker under dash. Dive tanks B.C under bow cushion on starboard side. Then the lite stuff on port side. As stated boat layout has most seating on port side...

Check to make sure that the sender and gauge are compatible. If the sender is not right for the gauge it will give you a false reading. This could be possible as you said you changed both. Good luck

Hi I lived most of my life in Huntington L.I. and have had Sea Tow from the first year they went into business. One summer we went to the oyster fest in Stanford CT. On the way back I spun the engine coupler to the outdrive. I called Sea Tow on ch 16 and Sea Tow from CT was there in about 20...

I have the same boat as Scott,1999 210 sundeck 5.0 efi. I live in the Florida Keys and in the summer the water temp in the ocean and gulf is mid to hi 80s. My boat runs at 170 all day and if I put it in the corner it will go up to about 173 and stay there until I back off. Been like that from...
