I've tried searching many forums for this information, so my apologies if this is info is already posted. I'd like to drain the raw water from my exhaust until I have a chance to run the pink through the system. Thanks in advance as always. Best, Michael

Good morning - When replacing the IAC on my 2000 starboard engine, if removing the plenum to get to the throttle body, is it necessart to remove the riser/elbow and exhaust tube? I've been getting some mixed advice on this. It seems if the plenum is removed, the riser and exhaust tube are no...

Good afternoon - Subsequent to injectors being replaced w new, port engine presents with rough/vibration from idle to 2200 rpms then she's running like a top after engaging throttle to 34- 3600 rpms. Mechanic states system scan shows ECM is flooding one bank of injectors (3,5,2,8) with fuel as...

Good afternoon - I'll first apologize if this request is one that has already been posted. Did a search and couldn't find with specificity. That said, first, does anyone know the model number for the clarion system on the 2000 340 DA. It has the 6 disc changer networked. If so, has anyone any...

Good morning all....when painting botom I noticed a bit of a water "bleed" coming from transducer perimiter when I pressed on it. Can this be tightened from the engine compartment? I may have finally discovered where the mild permeation of sea water into my bilge is coming from. Thx in advance...

A while back I had my strataglass redone above the windshield. As it never leaked prior, I didn't suspect a newly installed glass would. Wrong. Bad storms and my helm got soaked...particularly the starboard side where the constant drip from the zipper soaked my systems monitor panel..which when...

Good morning - Last several years one of the tachometers is "sticking" and goes back to normal after tapping the cover of the unit. Once back, the syncronizer is also off a bit. Never know which to trust. When the tacs are identical, the sync is now off a bit...and vice versa. Is there a way to...

Hello! My LCD screen on the original Tridata has all said, see ya later. I've been doing searches on EBAY and Amazon but the exact unit has not been found. Anyone have any experience with this and a possible replacement? Thanks in advance. Mike

I've just had a conversation w my mechanic regarding getting ahead of a potential issue with my engines he mentioned for me to be aware of. My 2000 340 Dancer has 7.4 Horizons. I've just shy of 600 hrs on each engine and regardless of the low hours, I've been cautioned about the potential for a...

My mechanic had a push button switch he connects to a module in the wiring system for the engine in order to start the engine without going up to the helm. Anyone familiar with this part? Would help me with winterizing solo not having to leave the bilge to start and stop the engine at the helm...

Notification: this is taken from another thread with respect to a shredded serpentine belt as I wasn't sure if that thread would be viewed for this particular issue. My advance apologies for the repetition "Reinstalled new quicksilver belt and tensioned as close to other (port) engine belt...

So...here we go again. While just underway and throttlin up to 3200 rpms I smell rubber burning and hear a "roar". I look back and see white smoke from my port exhaust. Immediately shut engine down as the needle on the temp guage hit 225. Water was flowing fine from side exhaust while warming up...

While performing fluid level checks for trip home from greenport, NY to east patchogue, NY (3.5 hr voyage) I notice port engine coolant overflow receptacle full. Most likely have raw water intrusion. Trip to greenport was uneventful w engines operating at 170 deg. Coolant color appears a bit...

Not sure if this is the appropriate venue for this...We plan on staying aboard shortly and there are thunderstorms forecast for the area. Not looking to take any unnecessary risks. Any advice or shared experiences would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Mike

Good morning..Upon commissioning the cabin, I discovered the refrigerator and cabin lights were not operating. Do these two share the same fuse? And if so, is it located under the helm station breaker panel. I ask now because this came to mind on my ride home from the marina. Thanks in advance...

I've 4 batteries in my engine compartment...I'm assuming one for each engine, one for the genset, and one for the 12 volt systems (vacuflush, stereo, refrigerator, etc.) On several occasions over the past 8 years, while away from shore power, one of the engines starts and the the other, not so...
