Copy that.... I didn't think one of them posted. It is a 340 however. 2000 Sea Ray 340 Sundancer.

Would slower cranking then cause not enough gas to flow the Starboard engine.

Thanks!!! I will do that tomorrow.

Thanks... I'll follow Mitch's advice first. Regarding holding the throttle wide open while cranking... Talk me through a little more about eliminating the IAC. Does that stand for the Idle Air Control?

If it cranks but not at full crank, does that affect the gas flow?

I don't think it's a battery issue. It cranks but just slightly slower than Port engine. Battery shows full charges.

It is. It is not a charge issue. It has plenty of voltage to battery, just slow turning over like it's not getting fuel.

Hi all... I have a 2000 340 Sundancer. I purchased it about 10 months ago, has a little over 1000 hours on 7.4 engines. We live on a floating home on the Columbia River in Oregon so we keep it parked out front. We've had a few days of freezing but I have a bilge heater and keep a light bulb...

I'll give that a shot. It just sounds like it's not getting fuel. It cranks at about 75%

Hello... I have a 2000 SeaRay 340 Sundancer. We live on a floating home with our boat parked out front. This week I needed to move it. During the winter it always takes a few tries but always starts. This time, the Port engine turned over quickly and eventually started. The Starboard...

Yup. Cost me a couple hundred bucks to figure out it didn’t work. Had a Canvas guy come by.

Haha

Thanks!! That is something we definitely want to do. Sounds like an amazing trip. We have not yet gone through the locks so we’re looking forward to that challenge!

Not sure if I could convince my wife to do the bar…. Might have to go with some friends. She has said she never wants to do it but maybe I could change her mind.
