    Not getting fuel from Starboard tank

    3 days ago my Starboard engine ran out of fuel. If going by the gauge, I should have had enough gas. Our 1990 350 express cruiser has not had any engine problems. It has a primary and secondary fuel filter. I just serviced the engine, changed only the secondary fuel filter. Im doubting the...

    Please revisit this stalling with me.

    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. -The engine...

    Missing fuel filter

    2001 310 Sundancer with 5.7 mpi Horizons. 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 John

    2010 Sundeck 260 - Fuel Gauge inaccurate/jumpy

    Hello, I am a new owner of a 2010 Sundeck 260 and have an issue where the fuel gauge isn't properly reading the level of fuel. I've done some research and digging and see that I can try to test the sending unit and the fuel gauge, but this isn't as simple as I thought for two reasons: 1. The...

    Fuel Vent Water Intrusion

    Has anyone else had issues with water entering their fuel vent and clogging the line? I have a new 2019 SDX 270 and suddenly I wasn't able to pump gas into the tank. I'd recently navigated some rough seas and seems like I took on some water in my fuel vent line that filled up the carbon...

    205 Sport Fuel Solenoid Wiring

    Have a problem with my Fuel Shut Off Solenoid. Tested Solenoid, all ok. No Feed from harness. Circuit Diagrams do not show where it is fed from. Very grateful for any help. If not, I'll have to fit a Manual Shut Off which I don't really want to do. Cheers!

The second time, we took out 3 adults and 4 kids, it would bog down and start to stall if I gave it gas. I...

    Any thoughts or advice? When I fill it--it reads full. After a half day of boating it drops to 1/2 a tank. If I go to fill it up--it only takes 5 gallons. I have a 22 gallon tank according to my owner's manual. After a full day of boating (or two half days), it reads empty. If I go fill it...

    1990 270 Sundancer fuel sending unit access?

    Hello - New user to the forum! My fuel gauge isn't very accurate. I've tested the gauge, grounding out both sides, and it flips from E to F when ground applied, so I assume the gauge tests okay. Looking in the bilge, I see what might be the fuel sending unit on top of the tank. I hope its...
