Hey folks. Hopping to get some input on what happened to me yesterday. 2003 Sundancer 240 with 2003 5.0 MPI.
she was launched Wednesday, commissions,tuned up and a new belt put on by a reputable large marina in my area where I store her for the winter.
Yesterday I ran through my checklist...
2001 310 Sundancer w/2011 5.7 mercruiser horizons.
It has been very, very difficult to find a mechanic to come out to the boat and scan. Long story but I've been trying to get the scan done throughout the many posts.
With that said, I really appreciate your patience and help.

I can't find the fuel filter/water Sep on the starboard side. The one on port is attached to the fuel tank so you can't miss it. Finding a big white can shouldn't be hard but I don't see it.
Thoughts?
Thanks

Drove the boat 10 hours straight. It ran perfectly. Right after I throw the dock line the starboard engine stalls. Help here led me to a 20 amp fuse that was blown. Replaced the fuse and it started and ran great as I moved it a...
Hello,
I am looking for a recommendation for electric fuel pump for my 1976 SRV190. It has the Mer233 ( Ford 302 ). Fuel tank is mounted in the front of the boat, above the floor with a top mounted fuel line. Fuel line is around 15-16 foot long.
I was looking into a Walbro FRB-13 because it...

Hi everyone, my starboard 8.1s horizon engine has been acting strange on my 01 380DA. I'll turn on the batteries and a few minutes later I'll hear the systems monitor beep, with a message about a starboard engine issue. At the same time, the starboard engine fuel pump will activate for 2-3...
See the picture below; it belongs to a Mercruiser Big Block V-8 7.4 lt mechanical fuel pump that failed yesterday while underway; it parted in two pieces!! How on earth this could happen? believe it or not the diaphragm is still in good condition so I managed to sail the last couple of miles at...
Good Afternoon all,
We have just purchased a Sander 280 with twin 4.3 MPI and the port engine has a fuel pump that is faulty and needs to be replaced. My question is has anyone replaced one of these units and what all needs to e disassembled the service manual for the 4.3 is useless for this...
5.0 Bravo 3R, the boat has an electric fuel valve which has a line from the fuel tank to the cool fuel box with the fuel pump. The valve became too hot to touch and the boat would not start. I just replaced the valve. My understanding is this valve shuts off the fuel in case of a fire and has to...
So I am finally going to install fuel boost pumps on my twin 4.3MPI engines to hopefully once and for all fix my vapor lock problems I've had over the years.
My simple question is...for those that have them installed on their 280DA (or similar twin engine Sea Ray), where is the boost pump and...
So I'm an issue keeping my engine from running. The engine shut down on me a couple weeks ago while at idle, docking the boat. Couldn't restart. Dug out the fuel pressure gauge and determined I had no pressure, and then realized I couldn't hear the fuel pump prime when the engine switch was...
My Quicksilver QS-6.5G generator wasn't getting fuel, so I replaced the fuel pump. I replaced it with an Airtex E8251 designed for small carburetor marine engines. Cost me $52 at JK Auto Parts up the street from me, but on Amazon I've seen it for $50. The Quicksilver part# 811508 / Generac 74024...
And so, the saga continues...
Over the last couple of years I've been battling vapor lock in my twin 4.3MPI's. I've gotten better about dealing with it and preventing it but in some circumstances it's hard to avoid a scenario that will make it happen (re-fueling at a fuel dock, fishing).
Over...
Boat shop parts dept. seems to have plenty of them, but no anwsers (some ideas) am i the only one to keep blowing this relay? the fuel pump fuses don't go. any help?
I just replaced the 3rd Fuel Pump relay in 12 mo's, i suspect a fuel pump problem causing high current flow thru relay, 1st time...
I hope someone can give me a little help here. I have a 182 Bow Rider powered by a 4.3L mercruiser. I have 320 hours on the motor.
This weekend I started having some serious problems with power loss. While pulling the kids down the lake on a tube I started experiencing momentary power...
