Does anyone know where to find the fuel sending unit on a '96 250 sundancer? I've taken the panel up in the aft cabin and nothing but the top of the tank is visable...I'm thinking it's in the bilge, under the white plastic tank but not sure and hate to just start taking things apart

Update...after a week, I went to the boat today....I looked down the carb while my wife pumped the throttle and there was fuel squirting into the carb every time and you have to have the throttle floored for it to start so my issue isn;t no fuel it must be to much fuel so am I looking at opening...

Thanks for the reply, I've always had Q-jets and never had an issue with them...this is my first webber and I'm not liking it so far

Thanks for the reply, I've always had Q-jets and never had a problem.....if the carbs leak down, how does this happen? I understand the lines loose pressure with no pump working and gravity drains to the lowest point but in a carb bowl how would fuel leak down?

Hi guys, I have a 1996 250 sundancer with 7.4 and a weber carb....I recently bought this boat, had the carb rebuilt by a local, reputable builder, did major tune up, made sure timing is right on and it sucks to start......when cold i pump the throttle 5-6 times and have it full open when...

I have an '89 sundancer 300, does anyone know what wood that is? it was apparently clearcoated with something...maybe from factory but its ugly now and most of the clear is gone...i want to refinish but not sure if its teak and i should clean and use teak oil or?

I did check the plug wires toight hoping it was something that simple but, no luck.....I pulled the motor....did rings, bearings..timing chain. oil pump, sent heads out to be rebuilt, sent carb out to be rebuilt....got it all reassembled and back in the boat and am now firing it up for the first...

I adjusted the valves again today and still no good.....the motor just runs so rough, almost like i have a cylinder or 2 thats down...it doesnt idle, flutters thru the carb when you accelerate, it doesnt pull nice smooth vacuum when you increase the throttle, it has to have an intake valve...

just went thru my 5.7 in my '89 300 sundancer, got it to run but need to adjust the rockers and theres just to much in the way to do it running...I remember there was a way shown in a manual that was something like...."with no1 up at TDC adjust no 8 exhaust and intake then rotate 1 turn and do...

both props look identical so it cant be counter rotating? I did put both in forward to remove.....so to start from scratch....when i put the upper and lower unit together, i should rotate the shifter gear clockwise which would lock the prop in the clockwise direction to be in forward?

so they should both turn clockwise? the previous owner had replaced both drives with SEI 106 drives......just kicking myself for not checking the rotation of the starboard drive before i took it apart and now confused, mainly because of the video i watched where the guy said to rotate the drive...

I bought an '89 300 sundancer with twin 5.7's....it wasnt running when i got it and have been working on it... i pulled the starboard outdrive to replace the impeller and seperated the unit to access the parts but never took notice of the direction when in forward.,,, i looked on you tube and a...

I just got an '89 300 sundancer.....i'm replacing the water pump and impeller in the mercruiser outdrive, i have the unit split and am putting the new parts in and while in gear, i can barely get the lower unit to turn in either direction when in gear...it spins free in neutral but in gear i...

false alarm...just got it in........didnt realize the gimbal bearing moved as much as it did

hhave an '89 300 sundancer with 5.7... i had to pull the motor to do some repairs and at the same time replaced the gimbal housing, and gimbal bearing...i used the original inner plate. I can not get things aligned, i have the alignment tool but it wont go into the splines...looks like it leaves...
