I'm trying to expand my knowledge on fuel injectors. I have a 350 MPI (2000) that after a long run (2.5 hours) seems to be off a bit at an idle. So far we have changed plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and fuel filters. I'm starting to wonder if maybe an injector(s) is dirty/clogged. The boat...

Changing out the old square fixtures in the bilge as i'm in there working on winter projects. What have you all used as replacement fixtures? I'm thinking 2 light bars 8-12" Boat is a 97 300DA with Inboards. Access isn't an issue.

I developed an oil leak on one of my motors (2000 5.7 350 mpi mercruiser inboard). Due to the high pressure oil pump I shut it down when the oil pressure dropped to 38/40 psi while cruising so I didn’t damage the motor. I believe it might be from one of the dipstick tubes as one is loose and...

Pulled the sending unit on my 2000 350 mercruiser. The bushing came out with the sending unit. I’ can’t get the bushing threads to catch when trying to reinstall. I’ve even separated the bushing from the sending unit. Anyone have and tips? I don’t think I crossed threaded it.

My new to me (1997 DA 300 Vdrives) has dripless shaft seals. I'm trying to research which ones and it appears there are numerous manufactures. They don't appear to be PSS versions. The stern tube looks to be blue. Any idea who makes them. I'll try to get a pic. Also, has anyone ever done...

I just had a suvery completed on a 97 300 sundancer with Vdrives. The boat has dripless shaft seals and one is leaking. I'm thinking about asking the seller to have this repaired or credit me for the repair. Has anyone had to replace/install them. I'm assuming its a pain in the ass since...

I have a 94 300 sundancer with 350 5.7 alphas. There is a 97 300 near me with 350 MAG MPI blew water inboards. Are those inboards more powerful?

Yesterday I changed out the HX on my 94 Mercruiser 5.7 FWC motor (alpha drive). I filled the exchange with fresh 50/50 antifreeze. My question is when I restart the engine, should (can) I start it with the radiator cap off to allow any air to escape? Also when my mechanic did the other...

Hi all- I have a 94 300 Sundancer. My current antenna somehow had to tip snap off. I want to replace it and was looking at a Shakespeare galaxy. What do you all recommend as one of the best out there? Thanks Chris

Hi all, Its been a while since I've been on, but can use some info for you all. My 94 300 has a soft sport (about 10" x 2') on the molded swim platform. The only place i can think that water may have entered is either from the rub rail or the ladder. the ladder is screwed into the top of...

1994 300 Twin 5.7 FWC alpha Yesterday I took the boat out and noticed I lost my starboard tach, synchronizer, and trim tabs control. After scratching my head for a few minutes I noticed on the depth finder the unit was reading 8.6v and also the VHF was beeping displaying low battery. Also...

I Replaced my water heater and all plumbing after the pump with PEX last week. The pump was running and would not build enough pressure before the replacement, and the same thing is still happening. When hooked up to the dockside it works great. I'm thinking there is either air source...

Hi All, In my 300, I want to run a new water freshwater line to the toilet. There is a piece of carpeted wood under the bathroom sink in the cabinet that needs to be removed. I can't find the screws to do this anywhere. Has anyone else done this before? Thanks, Chris

I had to fill My Alpha I Gen II drive lube bottle twice in the last 4 weeks due to an alarm. It's either leaking at the bottle or the hose going down to the drive as I found lube in the bilge. If I disconnect the bottle or even the alarm, does anyone know if there is a check valve in the...

On my 94 sundancer 300 (twin alpha gen II), I was running when all of the sudden the starboard engine started climbing up in RPM's. I pulled both back to neutral and started off slow again. The starboard would run fine until about 1200 rpm, and then the rpm's would slowly start climbing...

Hi all - I have a 94 300 dancer with I/O's. My steering has been tight for a while and seems to have gotten worse. Is there anywhere to lube the cables at the steering wheel?

My father has a 02 34 Amberjack with 8.1's. Last week he noticed he gets a beeping once in a while underway on plane. All gauges are reading ok. Any idea what this might be? Thanks, Chris

I'm looking for ideas for TV location in 94-97 300 Sundancers. I have a 94 and was thinking about mounting one in the v-berth on 360° swing bracket so I can watch it from the v-berth or mid ship (dinette). If you have any info on brackets or TV's send it on over. Thanks Chris :smt038.
