    Leak behind engine

    I took my 89 270 Amberjack out to test on a smaller lake before taking it to Lake Michigan and I have this leak. Anyone have any experience on what direction I should go from here? Maybe the bellows?

    Old Cannon Magnum 10 downrigger

    Long long ago my dad had a boat and we ended up with one of his old downriggers. I got an older 89 270 Amberjack and would like to use this downrigger this year since it works. I will need a base for it but other than that it seems like its in good condition. However I was messing with it and...

    I was thinking of moving the ladder to the starboard side of the swim platform. Anyone ever done this, why do they put it on the port side?

    TV in Cabin

    I was thinking of what TV I want to install in my 270 Amberjack. I am trying to find a bluetooth TV that has external storage and will fit my spot fully. I think I am going to need like a 28"-ish . However I am having a hard time finding a 12V version. I was thinking maybe it is better to just...

    Any info on this hole?

    1989 270 Amberjack I took out the carpet and plan on replacing it with that faux teak rubbery stuff and when I unscrewed the table stand hole this was under it. It is wet in there! What goes into this? Shere does it go? What is it for? Should it be wet in there. There is this squishy rubbery...

    Anyone have any idea what my boat would have cost new back in 1989? 270 Amberjack. I was talking to some friends and I actually do not know this is my first run in with a boat like this.

    1989 Amberjack 270 Wiring

    Anyone know where I can get some diagrams on the wiring for my boat? The back of the control panels have a mess of wiring that is pretty tight and I prefer not to have to tear it apart.

    Exhaust Bellows do they matter?

    I have a 1989 Amberjack with twin 5.7 I/Os in it and they both have Alpha one Gen 1s on them. While I had the lower unit part I noticed one drive has ribbed bellows and it is clamped from the Housing to the gimble ring on both sides. This seems obvious to me that is like that so it can stay...

    Wakeboard tower

    I feel silly asking this but why would a person pick a radar arch instead of a wakeboard tower? Cant a person just attach a plate and rocket launchers to a wakeboard tower? The wakeboard towers look more sturdy because of the wider stance they have. Thanks, Dave

    89 Amberjack Anchor Locker

    I was working on getting the windless going on my 89 AJ and noticed water was in the anchor locker. We have had a few days of decent rain and I was thinking maybe some of the stains I have on the cabin walls is because of this. I don't see a drain, where is that water supposed to go? You cant...

    Shore power and battery charger

    Please excuse the ignorance but is it common when plugged in to shore power to leave your onboard battery charger running? This is my first "bigger" boat and I will probably have all kinds of newb questions to ask. I have a 1989 Amberjack 270. Thanks, Dave

    Fueling up boat on trailer.

    I just bought a 1989 Amberjack 270 and it comes with a tri-axle trailer. I know there are some variables involved here but I was wondering since this beast holds 200 gallons would it be foolish to fill it while it is on the trailer right at a gas station?

    New Amberjack 270 owner

    Well I have been keeping my eye out for an Amberjack for a few months and finally think I came across a deal I could not pass up. After months of being patient I picked up a 1989 Amberjack 270 with twin 5.7L engines. I wanted to get a survey but did not have the time considering the deal I got...
