Yes well, actually I can see the boats that pass in front of my dock and normally those with outboards do not sound at all when they are in Idle. That's very true, even for higher horsepower outboard motors. I wanted to know something else about outboards engines, the system for taking salt...

Sorry i think you were talking about stern outdrives... no outboards engines.. my bad.

Yes I think you are very right in your comment. I see you mention that the outboard engines have high maintenance, could you give me more details about that please.

Yes, I have been able to observe that. Precisely thats the reason of my question. I really like my 34 sundancer with its inboards engines. I think my boat is wonderful. But I was considering migrating.

But I still wanted to see someone talk about the disadvantages of the outboard engines...

Neither do I, actually this week was when I found out that that kind of boat exists.

Yes, of course, all that you say makes sense. The advantage that I see in an outboard enginewould be the one below. Please correct me if I am wrong in any and please indicate the disadvantages if you can. Outboards engines: 1) can be disassembled easier and changed 2) less weight 3) You can...

Guys, thanks for your replays.. very useful. Question.. why do you say that to docking the venture you need the bowthruster? also.. what is the experience of having outboard engines? Is it easy to work on them? They give less or more problems than inboards engines? Is the maintenance more...

Thanks Eric for your replay. Yes, shallow water is one of the reason and also easy to work on engines... I'd like a cruising boat about 37' with outboards and around 2013-14

Hi all, I have a quick question for you guys.. I currently have a 2006 sea ray Sundancer 340 in excellent condition and I am thinking of changing it for a 37 Venture 2013. I wanted to know what is better, whether to have the twin 8.1 inboards or the two 300 outboards engines that the Venture...

Sea Ray best boat ever!

Well.. it makes sense.. How can I check manifolds? Whats the normal water pressure in this kind of engines? (8.1S horizon)

Hi all, My boat is SeaRay 37 - 2006 I have different measurements of engine water pressure. The port always marks me about half. I have already changed both sensors and put them original Mercury. The sensors were located above the transmission oil cooler. Does anyone have any idea about this...

Ummm ok..thanks

Yes, I replaced both pumps.. low and high pressure... and still the same, Port engine turn off after 15 min working at @2000 rpm with no alarm.. starboard keep running.. any other suggestion?
