    When do you replace your manifolds?

    I replaced my manifolds and elbows (closed cooling system) on my Amberjack last winter. They were in bad shape. The boat was a Florida boat from 2006 to 2010. I got my replacements from Michigan Motorz. It was about $2k in parts to do both engines with all mercruiser parts

    290 Amberjack ride

    b_arrington. The ride quality of the 290 AJ is pretty good. The boat acts more like a 32 or 33' boat. Good luck finding an 290 AJ without the bait station. Keep in mind that if you find one without the bait station it will likely not have the alum. arch and rod holders. I personally love my...

    2000 Sundancer 310 5.7 Horizon MPI engine won't go above 3200rpm

    I would recommend scrapping and cleaning all the underwater running gear. When was the last time you ran the boat? The algae and barnacles this year have been really bad in the chesapeake. My boat sat for 3 weeks without being run and it wouldn't get up on plane until I cleaned it off.

    290 amberjack side blower vent removal

    The plastic vents that attached to the side deck on my 290 AJ need to be replaced. In order to replace the small 4" vents, the side vents need to be removed. Has anyone removed these side vents on their AJ before. Are they bolted/screwed in from the back side or do they snap in place...
