I am curious to see thoughts on this topic. I am about 3/4 the way through the rebuild/refit of my 1997 270DA. I just completed the recore of the rotted fordeck which you can read on the mid-90s-270-sundancer-thread.936 pages 28ish to 33. I have owned lots of boat from new to used and sizes...
As promised, here is my run at repainting the upper Drive and lower gear cases on one of the two Bravo IIIs I have stored. This (and another) came off my 2002 Rinker 342 Fiesta Vee that was equipped with dual 6.2L MX and Bravo Three’s. I repowered and I kept these for future use. These are...
So I wanted to start a discussion of Props, drive ratio, and performance. And what I mean by that is focusing on gear drive ratio, prop pitch, and prop slip of various boats I have had and my current '97 270DA. What's in it for me is feedback from others on various props you have all tried, %...
Need some advice. See photo. The boat was not originally set up on this trailer. This Bow stop is one of my last items to configure correctly. I need alternatives and location to purchase for the current Bow stop that is WAY too short. Any recommendations appreciated - BTW I think the my...

However, I have no idea what...
In an effort to support other boaters here, because I don’t see a thread with a well defined title related to Mercruiser alarms and coding, I am posting here. Some of this information I have gained from other forums and some by experience. Others who know more than me please add/chime in...
So, I have done great gobs of interweb research and I think I know the direction I will go but want photos and advice. I bought a new to me 1997 270 Dancer (SE narrow 8.5 beam) last august. Its in the shop getting fresh bottom paint. While doing this the trailer is getting at shop jettisoning...
Tried posting on Mid-90s Sundancer thread and got zero response so trying here now. I Just bought a used 1997 270SE. It needs work including bottom paint and real good compound rubout and wax (ill send pics once I start the process on the Mid-90's thread not here). Its in my garage on a trailer...
time to part ways with an old friend. I am the second owner of this 1989 Pachanga. It was originally a Lake Michigan boat and was purchased by me in 1997 here in Seattle. If you know these boats, you'll know these are sought after and rare. This one was has had significant rework including a...
