It’s great to know you’ve been where I’m going lol Hopefully the Carter pump will resolve my problem and my wifey will welcome me back in the main house

Here’s some history... July 4th weekend the boat is running fine... with my aluminum 21 pitch I have to pull back on the throttle pretty quick coming out of the hole, so not to exceed 44-4600 rpm. So we are cruising back to the slip and she just just quits then pops and dies...I knew it was the...

Will this pump operate my 454ci. I ask because Im having what i think is fuel starvation with a cheap pump... boat would hit 3600 rpm from a stop and then start stalling. Then i put a second put in line, same brand, and now it hits 4000 rpm for a few seconds then starts falling off to 3600...

1993 290 Sundancer 454ci. I’m looking for input on which electric fuel pump to install and forever leave the stock seawater/fuel pump combination design behind me.

Well, some asshole stole my stainless prop! Anyone have anything to share regarding the prop lock kit by McGard?

I didn't notice anything other than the housing felt the same at the top of the engine connection point as it did down low as I could reach. But then again I wasn't feeling for the snap. Will ck this weekend and report. Btw, I appreciate your help.

350 trouble free hours, 454 Mercruiser Bravo One. Attempted to go out this weekend and boat will not go in gear. Fwd or reverse just revs like I had the button pushed on the throttle. Boat has been winterized for 2 yrs in the slip. North Al so no bad winters here. Bravo one, I can feel the...

1993 290 Sundancer My speedo quit just prior to winter and I can't find the hole/petot. I removed the hose at the speedo head and tried to blow through it...it is stopped up. If anyone can send a pic or tell me where to get a pic of the hole in the foot that would be great. I'll be I. The water...

Bravo 2, 1993 Searay Sundancer 290, 7.4l I have purchased a stainless prop to replace the aluminum. Do I use the same thrust washer, locking ring, nut etc or do I need additional hardware? Thanks guys! Nick

1993 Sundancer 290 7.4l bravo2 330 hrs Tn River My prop hub gave out and its a 21 inch aluminum. Never have hit anything with it and it looks good to me and the prop repair shop. The shop owner says he's not set up for the big bravo 2 props and recommended another shop in town. My concern is...

That's the one... I had no idea I needed to maintain the fluid level. Best price I've seen so far is about $500, you can bet I'll be all about preventative maintenance on this one. Thanks for your input. Nick

What a beautiful day on the Tn river today. Unfortunately on the return leg about 2 miles form the slip, my fuel pump went out. At least that's what I thought until the mechanic looked at and said the water pump seal had blown out ( explained the oil mess) and the shaft must have broken that...

Thanks for your reply! There is a faint trail of green oil running down the transom below the reservoir. The oil collects in a part of the bilge that has a stringer separating it from the lowest part of the bilge. I plan on cleaning the bottle and bilge and cutting a little of the rubber hose...

Thanks everyone! As always I can log on here when I'm in trouble and get quick answers and then I can kick you to the curb until the next problem arises. LOL I'll mix up some Dawn and water in a spray bottle and clean up the reservoir and then top it off watch it closely. Nick Nichols

93 Sundancer 290 has Bravo out drive reservoir leak. My boat has the clear transom mounted plastic bottle that is leaking down the transom and into the bilge. The bottle has a black rubber hose in the bottom (going to the drive I guess) and 2 wires down low with a black plastic bottle top. Just...
