Good afternoon. I have had this problem also, it happens that if the system go's dry (No water in tank) the system sucks in air and the system will not pull water due to the air that is trapped at the pump. What I have done is to prime the system by using a vaccum at one of the faucets or mouth...

Good afternoon. My wife and I love our 2000 310 DA its a great boat for its size. Pro's- it manages very well in al types of seas and is comfortable in an out. Con's - owners mostly would agree space in the engine compartment when it comes to maintenance or repairs is difficult in areas. All in...

Nice! I few photos would be nice after installed. So how much space or extention was added?

The 99,s were fitted with both based on the package selected, at least this is what I have seen on the market. I haven't had problems with moisture at the hatches but it is commen and if not attended quickly it could be messy and expensive. I did have an issue with one side window which I sealed...

Really not a good setup with one alternator. This must have been a quick fix from the last owner. It's important to get the electrical manual and review manufacturing battery diagrams to assure that nothing else has been removed or modified before you go ahead and installed anything. Wires could...

Yes it will stay in place. Positives on leaving the tranny. * You can remove the engine with the boat in the water since you will not have to move the shaft. * The tranny and engine supports will assist and maintain your alignment when placing the engine back. * I would leave the engine support...

I just recently placed new engines. I recommend (if transmission is OK) leave the trans in place and just remove the engine. Since you had water intrusion I would pull the engine and just work it from the bottom up. Also evaluate a long block cost vs repair cost the difference is really not that...

Auto Zone, Advance auto have battery testers that you can use to verify battery conditions. If the breaker kick out this could be an indicator that one of the battery that are connected to the charger could be defective. A bad battery will also drain the other batteries. It seem charger is OK...

Interesting, 250 hp on this model. Does any one else have the 2000 31 with small engines like these? They seem to be small for the weight of this boat. It would be interesting to know fuel consumption and overall performance with this package. Or is this 2000 model really 29 ft. ?

I have 5K Kholer also and it is noisy without the shield especially when its closed up in the engine area, wanted to see if it would run cooler without the covers big difference. Highly recommend the sound shield. Might be able to pickup a used one at a repair shop. Also you can make a sample...

Hey, quick question do you hear the fuel pumps coming on before the engine start? Hit the switch without starting the engines, the pumps should shut down after the system pressure is up. There is a release valve to remove air if it is trapped within the lines. You can scan or a pressure gage to...

On my 2000 it was the side windows. They had a bad seals. The water would enter and slide down the wall / panel hard to see. It would then work it way down to the floor area. New seals corrected the problem. Hope this helps. A good indicator that this could be the problem is if the water is...

There is no way around this. You will need to remove the exhaust pipes, the aluminum rail that supports the engine lids covers will also need removal. If all possible I would drain the water heater, use a vacuum if required this will take some of the weight out of the unit making it easier to...

Impeller not easy but doable. Step 1. Remove exhaust pipes and exhaust drum. 2- remove exhaust drum support base. 3. Close water inlet valve. 4. You will see the water pump (looking at the engine front side) on the bottom left hand corner. 5. Remove the serpentine belt. (There is one pulley a...

Currently trying to track down information on my friends transmissions. Need to purchase a repair kit but the units do not have any info on them. I did find a series of number stamped on it side 2002-172-901. I have been told they could be Velvet 5000V units. They are V drive and the engines are...
