    Riser Manifold Job Gone Bad

    Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I was fortunate to have a guy on the dock who is a very good mechanic look at the issue. He was able to pre and apply JB Weld High Heat to the area. There's enough mating surface to make a good seal. Gonna give it a try.

    Thanks for the reply. The other head is in good shape. Externally. I get what you're saying though.

    Riser Manifold Job Gone Bad

    Good day all. Long story short, when changing out my manifolds and risers to cure an exhaust leak it was discovered that the "replaced" manifolds were never done as indicated when the boat was purchased. With that said, my motors are 2006 inboard 5.7 350 Horizons with approx. 500 hrs. Where the...

    LIFTER VS MANIFOLD/EXHAUST LEAK

    Thanks for the reply. Great tip with the wire hanger. I'll give it a try. Nothings off the table. From what I saw with my oil pressure gauges everything is in normal range. I'm gonna triple check that today.

    LIFTER VS MANIFOLD/EXHAUST LEAK

    Thanks for the reply. Wouldn't an arcing plug wire(s) cause the motor to run rough? The motor seems to be running smooth, no hesitation. I do have a spare set and will be replacing them anyway. Have to see how that works out.

    LIFTER VS MANIFOLD/EXHAUST LEAK

    Thanks for the reply. Ya, leaning in that direction. It's a bit cluttered (hoses, plug wires) and I've been trying to see as much as I can. Still looking.

    Shift Levers

    Good day all, I have a 2006 Amberjack inboard with the MFD flush mounted on the dash. While seated at the helm the shifter levers obstruct the viewing of the screen. My question is, are there shorter ones available? Or is there a company that can fabricate or modify the shifter levers. I believe...

    Need to remove helm and companion seats, 2006 Amberjack

    Thanks for your reply Lazy Daze. I'll take a look at other options. But I just don't understand, what were they thinking when the seats were installed LOL. Why bury the nuts so you can't get to them?

    Need to remove helm and companion seats, 2006 Amberjack

    Good day all. I've committed myself to replacing both fuel sending units with the "stem" type. In order to have the clearance needed to install them I have to move both the helm and companion seats. I started on the companion seat and found that the screws are bolts. I was able to remove the...

    Intermittent Fuel Level Readings

    Good day all. I have a 2006 Amberjack 290. When I first start the engines I get the most accurate reading on the fuel gauges (also has SmartCraft readings that reflect gauges). During operation the fuel levels will fluctuate on both gauges. Sometimes even going to empty and knowing that I have...

    Need help locating the seals for water lines.

    Thank you very much for your reply. I did find them and they are on order. I am in the northeast and it has been cold. But looking at the condition of the seals that came out, I'm not sure they had been changed out since day one. lol. Can't hurt putting new ones in and hopefully by the time they...

    Need help locating the seals for water lines.

    Good day everyone. I hope you are all well and safe. I have a 2006 Amberjack. After winterizing the freshwater system, the hot water feed from the pump and the two cold water feeds from the pump are leaking. I've tried to stop the leak by pulling out the rubber seals, cleaning them and even...

    Sea Star high pressure hose removal.

    Thanks Jim G. However I just came in from working on it with a friend. The outcome is Sea Ray did a wonderful job securing the hoses. So good that they put zip hangers in locations with no access. My only choice is to abandon the old lines and find a new path. I ran some wires before from the...

    Good day all. I have a 2006 Amberjack V-Drives. One of the high pressure steering lines is damaged and in need of replacement. Both ends are disconnected and all zip tie hangers that I can see have been cut. I’m only trying to remove one line. I've made some attempts to pull the line through but...

    Relocating sonar/temp/speed next to depth sounder- interference?

    Good day all, with the boat on the hard it's time to address some issues. This is the first year with my 2006, 290 Amberjack. The previous owner had installed a Raymarine "Triducer" B774V. The problem is the installation is in the wrong location right behind one of the strakes on the starboard...
