    Mercruiser 7.4L MPI Horizon distributor timing

    460 Express Cruiser (1985-1989) Discussion Area

    @SKybolt Thanks for the info. I figured that about those high hp models. Like anything else the more fuel you put to it, the shorter the life. Id prefer Cats but it seems like the 375hp 3208s would be way underpowered in this boat. I havent gotten inside to see and inspect the condition of the...

    1988 34 ft Sea Ray cruiser

    Turn it on and get a multimeter and check the battery voltage at the battery terminals. Should be around 13V-14.5V with no load on the batterys. 12.5V or less if its not working.

    Water leak

    Taylor made hatch parts for 88 340EC

    Does anyone know where to get hatch handles, support rods and seals for the Taylor made hatches that came with the 340s? Taylor made says they're no longer available. Is there an aftermarket for these parts? I can only find the parts for the newer TM hatches. Thanks

    1988 Hatches?

    The factory hatches on my 88 340 are Taylor Made. Not sure if yours are too. I have the same problem, I think Taylor still makes them.

    Check your raw seawater hoses!

    Mine looked exactly the same, collapsed in the middle. I replaced all of them 2 years ago when I purchased my boat.
