My electric choke is apparently bad. Mechanic claims new ones are unavailable. Anyone know where I can buy one for the Rochester 4 barrel, 1985 340 with 454's?
On a 1985 with 454's, what sensors send signals to the alarm? SB engine has normal cooling temp.and oil pressure, but alarm is ringing about 10 seconds after start up. Trans fluid level is fine.
Stock 454 engines, recent rebuild. SB engine will not run unless gas is poured into the carb , then will run fine and restart fine. Port engine has no problems. Any suggestions on troubleshooting?
In trying to diagnose my windlass I found 3 unconnected wires at the windlass (spade terminals), and no obvious place to connect to. I've attched a photo of the relay. I also have 2 white wires coming from the bow foot switch that ends at the relay.
Can any sens me photos of their windlass...
Accidentally cut through my transducer cable- 6 wires with copper/aluminum sheathing. Do I just solder the wires together, or are there metal connectors that I can use?
I've no use for the ladder and don't really want to store it. Price is very negotiable. Shoot me a reasonable price. Looks to be in very good shape. Includes blue storage bag.
My 85 SD, 454 engines, had the cutlass bearings and dripless bearings replaced 7 years ago, then sat in the water without being run. Boatyard says they need to be replaced due to age. Should they be replaced? Or, is there any way to determine if they need to be replaced?
My 85 340 SD, 454 engines, needs the dripless seals replaced. Yard said the engines have to be pulled. Is this true? Any alternatives to pulling the engines?
My 85 340 does not have the smoked glass horizontal sliding entry door. Instead, my wood door pulls up. If your boat is similar, what type of locking mechanism does it use? Maybe someone could send me a photo of the lock.
New owner of a 1985 Sundancer. Just hauled the boat out for maintanence and noticed the transom mounted speed wheel was broken. Is it recommended to replace it? Boat doesn't have autopilot, does have Raymarine radar setup.
