Part was made by Viking Maine, CA if that helps.....they are out of business.

Mine has been destroyed by sun and weather. It is not 6" or 8"! The locking hatch is 6.5" with an outside diameter of 8 7/8". Screw spacing is 8 1/4" apart. Hole opening is 7 1/4". Can't find anything that works. Any help would be great...This is a 270 Sundancer....Thanks, Mike.

Will do! What about the Low Oil Pressure cutoff switch. Had to replace my pressure sensor this season. I do have water temp and voltage readings at the dash but no tach or oil pressure moving during cranking.....It just dead cut off engine like a light switch.....Thanks, Mike.

Was out for a ride tonight and lost all ignition. Cruising at 3600rpms with the 454/330hp carb motor. Have gas and no spark. Noticed I have no tach, temp or oil pressure gauges when cranking the engine over. Still have power trim and lighting but no spark. I did not take apart the multipin...

Love my 270/290 but would only buy a larger twin engine boat with a Genny. Having AC and Heat while on the water is priceless! Love it at the dock so on the water would have to be even better!!!

Formula builds a very detailed boat and their craftsmanship and on-water performance is amazing.

Very nice boat!

I'd say 50/50. If I had twins I would run off plane more. Steering a single engine off plane is a real pain in the ass. At my commercial job we run 4-5 knots constantly but twin counterrotating outdrives are the key and diesel is nice for this. My on plane speed is 3600rpms for the single...

Fyi......reving a motor to 5K with no load on it is not recommended either........especially a big block.

Temp problem solved! The thermostat in the engine was a 160F and the bar holding the little plastic balls was shot. One ball could not seal due to corrosion. I swapped the housing off my old motor....it's a 140F thermostat and the balls and thermostat was replaced by me a few years ago. The...

New frustration! Engine temp cycling from 145 to 190. Impeller is new but thermostat may be going bad. Exhaust manifolds new also. Engine runs great but changing the whole housing tomorrow.....using my old one. Thermostat was new two years ago on my old motor. Hope my oil/PS cooler is not...

Changed the sending unit....problem solved! 50-60 psi constant.

Yep.....off the sending unit. Nothing changed?

I still have my old engine for spare parts and the sending unit in hand. I unhooked the wire on the sending unit and the gauge is still pegged while running. My mechanic recommended that first. I also noticed another smaller sending unit, next to the larger one, going to my coil. Is that to...

Changed the 454 motor in my 270DA after freeze damage. Started fine but the oil pressure gauge is pegged at 80 lbs. It did it as soon as I turned on the key and while running. Engine running fine but did the sending unit die? Water temp and alternator guages fine also. Same year motor and...
