Few experiences, ignition sensor in distributor can do that, once also had kids messing with boats at dock and they had unscrewed all my fuses at the helm on an older boat, every time I hit a good wave engine cut out. That was a good one, as they seat fine at rest and only jump out in rough wave...
A friend had one of those winter covers on a 90’something 370 express , I haven’t been around that boat for years so not sure if it’s still holding up. I know his canvas cover came from

Watched him put it on and take off year after year for the 8 years I was...
I have a Hurley H3O on my 2004 340, very happy with it. Loads carries and launches my 2018 Achilles HB280DX RIB with 15hp Yamaha 2 stroke left on it just fine. The 9’2” fits just right on the boat with the stock platform as is. I also used it a lot with my 2008 Achilles SPD96 and an 8hp 2 stroke...
My 2004 tranny ID plate says ‘ZF 63 IV’, If your plate says the same, this $43 filter is the OEM filter for it non-Mercury Marine part-number-ized ( price quadrupled ). This is a genuine ZF Hurth filter and 2 new O-rings set. Warning there’s a little part that snaps into the filter that you...
Here’s all the junction box options and cables etc. find your junction box and if there’s a spare unused port you can just plug the VesselView into it and you are good to go. If no spare ports then you have to get a junction box with more ports. I just upgraded from the 6 port I had with no...
I just installed VesselView Mobile in my 2004 340. In my boat and likely yours you will find a smartcraft junction box behind your gauges at the helm. You need a spare port on the box to plug the VesselView mobile into. That cable you are holding isn’t the 10 pin you are looking for. Without...
The VesselView Mobile that techmitch points to is what I just installed (
Mercury Smartcraft Vessel View Mobile Kit 8M0115080 - New/ OEM - iOS or Android ) which is best installed into your Smartcraft Junction Box behind your gauges ( mine was only a 6 port which was filled and I never had...
Aren’t those new ones (mines an 04 so I call 2012 new) relying on a Carbon monoxide sensor ? Just Something to consider. Wondering what doesn’t run means. Does it turn over, start at all, run rough, stall or what. Lots of people might offer ideas, check for gas, check for spark, then all the...
Agree with all that leak is #1, however I did have same issue, there is an adjustment on the pump to tell it when pressure is good and stop pumping, don’t recall exactly, it’s a screw you turn. Can tone it down and it’ll stop if no leaks. I had bad pressure though, so yes I replaced the pump and...
I dug out the rotted wood on my anchor hatch door on my 88 weekender, I know what you are dealing with... if you go to Sams Club they sell these white cutting boards in packs of 2 for commercial kitchens. It’s a very strong plastic,,,and they are pretty cheap, great material for this. Did that...
Great news in New York today, in the states 5pm update. They now clearly allow reopening boating facilities so long as social distancing followed.
It’s a step in the right direction :)

The breaker for the charger is on your AC panel next to your salon seating. It’s labeled AC Converter. Enjoy the 88 weekender, last year of the nice teak interior, 89 they didn’t do all that woodwork.
