    HELP - Boat won't start - 2004 Sundeck 240 (Mercruiser)

    I have a similar problem with my 5.7 TBI. Turns over but no spark. Changed everything. Measured all voltages. Ignition switch w/key and safety cutout okay. Late last summer a couple of weeks after spending time on the lake, idling in driveway sputtered to a halt. Have a clamp style spark tester...

    Teleflex rack /power assisted steering

    My '00 SR 210 BR with 5.7L EFI, 375 hours has play in steering, which may be wear in pinion or rack or just lost motion from tilt steering mechanism or connection at outdrive. Any idea as to how long a Teleflex steering rack and cable last. SSC141/17' replacement for my model.

    Condensation in guages on dashboard

    I'd like to know how you get the formed bezel off the front of the SR "Legend" gage(green body). They're about $42 to replace.

    Steering wheel with excessive play

    My 210 has the steering wheel connected through a tilt mechanism to the back mounted Teleflex rack system. The excessive play in the steering wheel on examination looks to be at the connection behind the wheel to the shaft to the rack. Do you just pry out the center SR button to access the nut...

    Condensation in guages on dashboard

    Gages breath with temp cycling, and as a result suck in moisture which can accumulate on the inside of the bezel glass. I think the best way to get that stopped is to wipe a small amount of clear caulk around the bezel where it intersects with the glass. Be sure to wipe off the excess and wipe...

    AC Delco Spark plug rebate through 12/2014

    I ordered a set of the long thread AC MR43LTS through Amazon and was given the rebate price. My '00 SR 210 BR had the AC MR43T plugs which fit but don't have the same reach as the AC MR43LTS as listed on the intake cover. Also, changed the plug wires, rotor cap , rotor and sensor wheel. Fired...

    Marine Radio Fixed Antenna Mount

    I have a fixed antenna mount starboard side front of windshield, 210 BR. The pipe has sufficient inside diameter to take the connector and wiring down underneath the console. Problem is with the antenna screwed in place it leans outside the rub rail. That presents a problem when nested or...

    Leaking Gear Lube Hose for Alpha One/ Gen II

    Its definitely inside the boat because of residue i can see under the engine. The bottle seems to leak a little because of traces around the mounting bracket and behind the rubber strap. Don't know how much vibration it takes to slosh around. The rubber hose goes out from the bottle fitting over...

    Leaking Gear Lube Hose for Alpha One/ Gen II

    I have a dropping level in my square gear lube reservoir with no external leakage. I assume the 54 inch lube hose to the dribble valve at the transom has developed a leak. Anyone with this trouble. I will check my hose tomorrow. I see no external lose at the outdrive.

    Granty

    I have the open cooling system that draws in lake water. In that system are 6 blue plugs for drainage, particularly for winterization. I purchased this boat last Fall and noticed some leakage by evidence of rust stains just below a couple of the plugs. After replacement of all plugs, there were...

    Windshield Wiper Motor/Horn Replacement

    Maybe I should start a company called, "jury rigged marine." When you are strapped with out of date technology that is beyond repair like I had, and the best you could do with a factory type replacement is what you had before, but the other replacement parts, like the wiper motor are...

    USCG boarding

    One thread mentioned a check by the USCG for flares. I think they are a genuine fire hazard, unless its a pistol flare. Down south in Alabama we are allowed the use of a signal flag which i carry but no flares. Between the use of the cell phone on the lake which may not have full tower coverage...

    Brunswick, Sea Ray, Join Boatbound To Help Owners Rent Their Boats.

    My wife said this ranges along with the possibility of leasing tools, etc., that's come in vogue. $500 a day during peak summer is a nice thought until you realize they've run aground and broken off the skeg and destroyed the SS prop, or run over somebody while inebriated. Is 3 million enough to...
