I have a 1989 6.5 Westerbeke ( 99 total hours on it) that has a Fuel issue and its acts like the pump is dead however removing it and testing it on the bench it works great. Installed it back and it will not turn on when trying to start the Gen. Checking Voltage, it shows 9.5 volts so there...

I'm replacing the old and broke Hurth 630 Trans in my 89 340 Sedan Bridge and decided no matter how the Flex Plate looks its going to be replaced. I told my local dealer what wanted but when I opened the box it was not the normal plate with springs but a 6 point star shaped device which has...

Recently changed out the filters during a fluid change. The cap on the older Hurth seems to be held in by just the O-Ring compression. Is this normal or am I missing something? I have an older Hurth 630 on the starboard and a new 630 on the port, the new Trans I like as it used a screw...

Trying to determine if Sea Ray wired a Solenoid in the wiring to the Key Switch located in the Head area. I have a 1989 340 Bridge and so far in 2 weeks I replaced the switch twice. Anyone have an idea where a solenoid may be found if there is even one used? The pump works with no problem as...

Putting aside changing the exhaust manufolds on my 340 with Mercruiser manifolds I ordered the coated version of the mercrusier mainfolds for my 89 340 with 454's. I hav not yet taken the old ones off but looking at the elbows and what the gaskets it calls for seems strange to me. The pictures...

Reciently the Pump when activated by flushing has started making high pitched "weasing" or squeeks. It took 2 weekends to become the most hated sound on the dock estecially at 2 AM for that wake up head call! This is used on a 89 340, has the old style pump with the clamp and I was told that...

In all the years of boating I've never heard of carp slapping a boat before this year. Egads we are tired of it, they hit mostly at night and it sounds like a hammer hitting the boat :smt021. We are looking for solutions, but upon research using M80's does nothing, spear fishing is not too...

It was going to happen, the OEM sounder that came on our 89 340 Bridge died and needs to be replaced. The issue I have is getting wiring to the upper helm and since the boat is in the water I need to consider shooting the signal thru the hull. Here is my question, anyone have exerience with the...

On a weekend trip the Port fuel tank gauge started dropping going from 1/2 full to almost empty. I put in 30 gallons to see if it might come back up and it actually dropped further. Looks like a tank sending unit needs replaced but where or who might carry this and can it be removed with out...

Last week we completed the second chapter in the never ending book of owning a boat so I wanted to thank all that helped out during the winter months with advice and moral support ( and Jason who saved the day with the anchor line). Ron, thanks for the inputs on the coolers and manifolds. Thank...

I am looking for some guidance on the Alternaors used on the 88-89 340's. My units have the Capacitor EMI filter which looks like they run from the Plus terminal to ground on the alternator body. The lead on the port engine was pulled off, looks like during servicing and the starboard is...

I need to replace the belts on my 89 Sea Ray 340. The problem is removing the raw water belt, there is no cam adjustment like that on my 92 270. One suggestion was just remove the 4 bolts on the pulley and remove. Problem is getting it back on - forcing it on is not going to be fun as most know...

Picked up a 340 Sedan Bridge last fall, our second Sea Ray, Wifey and I are looking forward to going back to the Dock life. Going to move it to Cincinnati from Lake Erie so we can be 30 minutes to it vs 4 hours!:smt038
