My 96 330DA Sundancer has the 12 volt lighting reversed. In replacing my CEC 1141 overhead salon and "head" light bulbs, (that resemble tail light bulbs), with LEDs, I discovered that the new LEDs did not work but when hooked to a battery with the center post connected to positive they did...

switching 12 volt lights to led on 96 330 da found that my polarity is reversed on all lights. How to fix???

I wanted to have an extra frige in my 96 330 mid cabin to use on long trips so I moved my generator battery farther to starboard adding a battery mount. I then added another battery in my starboard engine starting system and connected it in parallel. I drilled a hole alongside the starboard...

Hey Everyone My 1996 330 with twin 7.4 Merc outdrives is set up to use the starboard engine to pump to the power steering. There is a complete power steering pump on the port that seems to be plumbed into the steering unit but has no belt. Can I simply move the belt over to the port power...

Has anyone removed the starboard mid cabin bolster on a 1996 330 Sundancer? I can't figure out how to get at the bolts behind it. Thanks

Thanks for the advice on ECT but I noticed that they had replaced that also. I tried to look up if a 2001 6.2 liter has a crank position sensor and it may not. Just spoke with the shop and they said that the mechanic just did a sea run, switching out the two ECU's and taking run readings on...

Need Advice I've got a 2001 260 with a 6.2 MPI Bravo 3 with about 300 hours on her. I bought it 3 years ago and found that it intermittantly surged at idle only in neutral with no load and would stop surging if it was shut down and restarted. Otherwise it ran perfectly  The problem became...

Thanks Cliff I was thinking the same thing about the IAC but the mechanic said he checked that. Still waiting to hear from a regional tech and hope I get the boat back before winter comes here in Duluth, mn.

I need help My 2001 260 Sea Ray Sundancer with 6.2 liter MPI and 300 hours surges at idle in neutral from 600 rpms to 1200rpms repeating about every 4 seconds until it dies. It will idle all day in gear but as I am bumping in and out of gear to dock it the problem begins. If I turn the...

Hey everyone I've got a 2001, 260 Searay with a 6.2 liter mpi with 200 hours on it. It was stored for quite a few years but have replaced all fluids and it runs great while it is in gear. The problem is that occasionally, only when warm, and only in neutral, the idle speed surges from 600...

I love my 2001 260 Sundancer with it's 6.2 L MPI engine and Bravo 3 outdrive. My problem is that even with my trim tabs down and my outdrive tilted as high as I dare, I idle along at 4 to 5 mph which is too fast for occational fishing with my downriggers. I have thought of a drift sock off...

Thanks so much I will try this right away

My 2001 6.2 liter fuel injected mercruiser reads the correct RPM's ie 600 at idle and mid 3000's cruising, but occasionally jumps up 200 to 400 RPM's without change in engine speed. Anyone have an idea as to cause?
