I did the jr marine repair on my port side and replaced steering pin with stainless pin two bushings and a seal wasn’t hard at all to do a couple of 100 bucks, I did over the summer find a excellent used outer transom assembly and I am replacing the repaired one as well as replacing starboard...

I do know I can feel better control around dock with the four blades. Tonight, I drove the boat with three people it comes up with ease even better when using tabs. I’m very satisfied with the results I pulled her out to mount transducer in a different location. I’m figuring this boat hasn’t...

Update I removed garmin transducer near port drive previous owner installed Put 4 blade Michigan Apollo 14 5/8x16 on. It now gets on plane with ease. These are my numbers no tabs 3600 rpm 29 mph I can run down close to 3000 and stay on plane Top speed is 42 mph at 5050 it will bounce rev...

I just removed my furuno transducer from transom and now looking at moving my garmin transducer which according to garmin is installed where it can cause cavitation/ventilation

I’m having same issues with the stock vengeance props boat takes a country mile to plane. I’ve tried everything previous mentioned drives in tabs up tabs down. It cavitates or ventilates horrible barely gets on plane anything below 33-3400 she wants to come off plane. The hull is bottom...

Yes it was surveyed twice surveys leave a lot to be desired. I always thought searay as a top brand but that has now changed lift your the cushions in aft cabin plywood, plywood in the engine compartment plastic ties instead of the rubber coated stainless steel clips unsupported wiring.

So I’m neck deep in this 04 280 da. First searay I’ve owned and the last I’ve owned boats since I’ve been a kid and I’m 55 and this one is by far some of the worst build quality more wood in this boat than the mayflower. Unsupported wiring every place you look no metal clips all plastic ties...

Every boat I have had the tilt trim would work with battery switches off as well as bilge pumps There are two battery switches the one closest to rear of boat says 1, both 2 off It was on both The switch towards the front side I think says off and on The one switch was in the both position...

New to me 04 280 yesterday went to tilt up drives battery switch was off port drive operated fine Starboard side clicks, no power to trim pump battery switch in both position Turned the other battery switch to on and now I have power is this normal set up?

That’s what I am doing already put three new batteries in it I have changed all the trim cylinder hoses installing new trim tab planes this weekend. I’m pulling my starboard drive Saturday morning as well as changing all the fluids belts etc. it will be better than new when I’m finished

That is correct, nobody ran the boat until I picked it up and I had them start it they were not having any of it when I kept questioning about sea trial. They knew I was coming two weeks in advance and still made us wait 7 hours for them to load the trailer. Then I asked where everybody was...

That’s what I’m doing

I have found the shift cables installed incorrectly IMHO the survey was a complete joke as well as the mechanical inspection

No sea trial No idea it has all new cables from drive to motor, bellows, gimbal bearings, I was told it was time to replace, the boat looks new I’m guessing it just sat in water and the previous owner got taken for a ride by people

I could but it’s 205 miles away I just found the shift cables not installed correctly on motors. Has to be the problem. I’ll find out later this week

Terry marine service did the complete outdrive service Here is a picture I have when I lowered the drive down this hose popped out goes to the outdrive tank on motor they put a new bell housing on that side for some reason previous owner or broker paid for it

Boat has brand new bellows shift cables gimbal it has no reverse on port motor won’t go into gear on starboard motor This thing had a complete mechanical survey and structure said it was fine what a rip off

Anybody can have this boat I will count my losses The port motor runs no gauges work at all I just found the remote oil fill line for drive broken popped out when I lowered drive The starboard motor will not start since it stalled when it ran the tachs worked for both motors

04 280 sundancer 4.3 both tachs are working with one engine running

Well well well I picked the boat up yesterday this boat has had a mechanical inspection full drive service and survey Picked up trailer from loadmaster they did a wonderful job Went to pick up boat Of course they wasn’t ready arrived at 9:15 took them until 3:30 to get boat loaded onto my...
