    Ordering a New 270 SDX ... Interior Color Question ...

    Refreshing here... considering the a new 270sdx - We really like the dune classic look, but agree that it will be too hot - don't want to take that chance, and be sorry... Prefer the stone over the ivory. Opinion: Will the stone be noticeably cooler than the dune? Thanks and be safe out there.

    270 OB 300 Enough HP?

    Thank you! How's the build quality then and how about now? Hard to find these to even look at, much less trial.

    270 OB 300 Enough HP?

    Hi folks, Looking to move up a bit from our 240 I/O to a new 270 SDX OB with a 300HP. The boat is about 5,700 dry. Is 300HP sufficient power with a typical load - 6 - 8 people to get going and comfortably cruise? Not looking for top end speed, just don't want to feel bogged down as I...

    Manifolds and Risers Time

    How many hours for a mechanic to replace manifolds and risers - 2013 240 Sundeck with a 5.0 MPI. I have received quotes from 3 hours to 8. Which is it?

    Bravoitis Suspected.

    May be better to call (410) 402-1096. They spoke to Kyle, said it was the bell housing that was replaced, not going to solve my problem?

    Bravoitis Suspected.

    I will pass this info to my mechanic who is a partner with Old Line Marine out of Smith's Marina in Crownsville off the Severn River. He actually spent a lot of time in Middle River so he wanted to know who your marina was - so thanks for providing the info before I even asked!! When I refer...

    Bravoitis Suspected.

    Thanks for taking the time to post this, very educational (not boat mechanically inclined) so it gives me an option to run by the mechanic. Enjoy what's left of the season.

    Bravoitis Suspected.

    Thanks Pirate Lady. Tried to track your overheating story at the place you noted but found it difficult to see exactly what you did to solve. Would you be able to message me the steps you took, parts, etc? While thru hull may solve, if it doesn't, I have a unnecessary hole in my boat!!

    Bravoitis Suspected.

    Ran boat on plane (3500-3800) with laptop measuring both manifold temps. Port gradually went to 215, got alarm. Starboard to 155 and held. Tried to remove the fitting at the transom hose to check for corrosion but the bolts wouldn't give - didn't want to force. So while not visual evidence...

    OBD SYS Fault - Service Engine Soon

    Yes, it does have a catalytic exhaust. Makes sense. There are no other read outs or audible alarms. Just hot 230 hours wonder if that has anything to do with it. Thanks.

    Thank you Scoflaw. Any risk of injury if I continue to use - short excursions around the river?

    Resource: All Around Stern Light

    I need to replace my all around stern light on our 2013 240 Sundeck. The little metal contacts fell out of the 2 holes. It folds. When open its about 86". Can't seem to find a vendor / part number. Can I get away with a shorter one? I think its so tall b/c it has to be higher that the open...

    5.0 Won't Start

    I have my mechanic coming out the end of the week. Will discuss the fuel pressure test and coolant temp sensor thoughts. We did take it for a ride last night. Did not go WOT but did get to 3500 (34mph) for a minute. Ran great. Sounded fine at all speeds. I think the idle is weak - was at...
