1999 Sundancer 310 DA. 350 MAG MPIs. Starboard engine has developed a “squeal” that becomes a “shriek” at higher RPM.
Using my highly discerning ear (not), I first thought it was an idler pulley. Swapped in a new one and alternated it in the two positions. Not the cause.

Seeking any recommendations for Westerbeke mechanic in the Tampa Bay area (with ability to pull a generator from a boat in the water preferably). The genny on our 1999 310DA has an intermittent oil leak. I have not used it enough to fully diagnose the issue since noticing the leak last spring...
We have a 1999 Sundancer 310DA currently at the Ft Belvoir, Va, marina (Alexandria, VA, just south of D.C.). Uncle Sam sent us to Tampa not too long ago and relocating it via cruising was not in the cards time-wise, or gas cost.
Seeking any and all leads on any firm or experienced individual...
Uncle Sam is sending us to McDill AFB in Tampa. As I weight the cost-estimate of moving our 310DA down there either by trailer or its own power from D.C. (or sell it and buy a new one there), we need to find a new home for it. Not looking for a high end/high dollar marina. Just something with...
Prop off our 1999 Sundancer 310DA. Original Equipment spec Michigan Wheel Dyna Jet 16x17 Right hand (if I recall... looking at it from the stern... so port engine if I recall the rotation) bronze prop. 1 1/2" tapered standard shaft. In sorting some initial performance issues, I said "F**k it"...
Hello,
The big back seat cushion that goes across the transom of our 1999 Sundancer 310 DA has finally succumbed to years of sundamage. I've got it off the boat (that was fun) and now I need to find a shop to reupholster it. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good shop in the...
Funny what the survey missed. Boat is hauled out for engine work (leaking oil pan and other attention while out...). It was discovered that one prop is a Michigan Dynajet 16x17. The other is a yet to be determined brand by the prop shop, maybe Acme, 16x17 but with larger blade area and shape...
Hello. Seeking recommendations for where to take our 1999 Sundancer 310DA. The starboard engine needs to be pulled to replace the increasingly leaking oil pan, among other gripes that need to be addressed. But that’s the critical maintenance needed at the moment. It is kept at a marina on the...
