I am working over the same model and year. On the mechanical end of things, make sure the engines and V-drives don't leak oil. Check all the seacocks and make sure they work as advertised. The engine room is cramped and not alot of wiggle room if/when you have to do any maintenance. There are a...

Yes, it does. :thumbsup:

Hey Rocky, Yea, you misread it. Not gonna sell the arch. It is collapsible like akbassking’s but it folds forward instead of aft. Before you purchase an Arch come check it out. I don’t have any pictures of it. It was a spur of the moment road trip and I didn’t think about taking any pictures...

double post

Hey sled, I am in the process of working over an 85 300 SDB. If you have any questions feel free to yell. I am a lil south of you and there are a couple of other 300 owners on here as well. As far as a Radar Arch, I just picked up a 300 in a fire sale (cats not out of the bag yet) that has a...

Not the kinda news boat people like to hear or see. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Cleanup-underway-after-fire-guts-building-at-Narrows-Marina-308899911.html?mobile=y&clmob=y&c= .

Just a quick update. While I am waiting on parts for the engine and trans I dug into the bilge issues today. I got three of the four seacocks out. I made a tool and surprisingly they came out pretty simple with a little convincing. I picked up a piece of 18”x 2 ½ x 2 ½ inside diameter square...

We are doing the work at my house in Tacoma, and have a slip at the Narrows Marina. Will have to give you a shout when it's back in the water. :smt001

The bonding wires, as a habit, I often call grounding wires. I am aware of the function just have a habit of calling them grounding wires and, it’s also easier to use the word grounding with people that are not familiar with it. What I was referring to is that while looking for info on the...

For those that were asking for a thread, I thought I would start one for the cleanup of the engine room. A little bit of history on the boat. It’s a 1985 Searay 300 Sedan Bridge with twin Mercruiser/GM 350’s and V-drive transmissions. The boat is new to us as of the fall (Sept/Oct) of last...

I will start a thread for the engine room overhaul this weekend. Should be a fun adventure. :smt001

I just made a boom for my forklift and plucked them right out. I was gonna say, if you weren't so far away, bring her by and we'll pluck um out too.

Thanks speakrdude, my muffler was originally mounted forward of the steering linkage. You can see the hose dangling behind the linkage in the upper pics. The Genset is on the port side forward of the engine tucked under the floor and the exhaust hose snakes back between the engines on the floor...

Soooo tempting!!! Would have to thrash to get it all done and hope for no surprises.

Hey all, I pulled the engines out of the boat over the weekend and I’m sure glad I did. Talk about finding some goofy things. First thing that comes to mind were the power cables on both starters. Both starters had two power cables attached to them. The nuts were holding the cables on with...
