    Official 370 Venture thread

Had it out Sunday and got into some blue whales right off the coast. Never get tired of that stuff. Had 12 people out for a harbor cruise on Sunday....plenty of...

    Orange County, CA Mercruiser Mechanic?

    We've got a 2000 310 Sundancer with Horizon 350's and V-drive transmissions. The engines are factory rebuilds with less that 150 hours. We keep the boat in Newport Harbor and need to find a good Mercruiser factory authorized Mercruiser mechanic. Mercruiser's customer service gave me HIPP Marine...

    Can new zinc collars affect drive shaft performance?

    Got under the boat today and both props spin freely with no fouling of props or shaft. Suppose it could be a fuel supply issue under load. At 3000 rpm, advancing the throttle doesn't continue to increase the rpm when in gear.

    Can new zinc collars affect drive shaft performance?

    We have a 2000 310DA that is we purchased last summer. It's new for us and is our first saltwater boat. It's also the V-Drive. The same service that cleans the bottom monthly also changed the zincs on the rudder and prop shafts last week. In running the boat yesterday, the starboard engine would...

    low rpm at WOT while in gear

    This afternoon our 2000 310DA with V-Drives gave us some trouble on the starboard side. As we throttled up to cruising speed the starboard engine RPM maxed out at 3000rpm before the boat even came up on plane. We could advance both throttles, and the port side would continue to increase the...

    310DA throttle/v-drive problem

    I'll check that out, probably getting wet to do so. Didn't notice any vibration and both engines ran well at idle speeds in the harbor. We did run the starboard only in forward gear and still couldn't get the rpms past 3000.

    New Member with 2000 310DA - V-Drives

    We've had a 2000 310 DA with V-Drives for about 6 months. Keep in in the water at Newport Beach, CA. Great fun so far but learning more about maintenance and repair than I thought I ever would!
