I also have a 1987 Sundance. Wiring diagrams could help a lot. Any ideas where to find them

Here is an update, a year later. Replaced the coupler, the correct one needed the larger hole cover plate, found one at a boat boneyard. I have a skinny friend that works on boats. Within an hour he had everything disconnected and we pulled the motor. Sat it on a stand, than drank beer. Next day...

Any rv store

I got a,454 magnum with a bravo 1 outdrive. right n i W I have a 15 x 17 ss prop on it (3 blade). I get around 30mph @ 4200rpm. how do i speed it up.

thanks everybody. it was the coupler. 1st. the moron that owned the boat before me told me that he had replaced the coupler. so I didn't think that it was the problem. Everything kept pointing to the coupler. Pulled the motor out, it had the triangular plate coupler on it. NOT FOR A 454. it had...

moth ago boat ran fine, nothing changed, 3 weeks ago took the boat out, no wake zone all was good, pushed down on throttle, motor rpm's went up, and boat went no faster, sounded like a clutch slipping. 1st thought was spun hub in prop, ss prop with a pressed in hub, replaced the prop, and...

in 1988 some big blocks that had problems, with the alpha drive were fitted with the bravo 1. I'm sure it's a bravo 1, the water pump is on the front of the motor, not in the outdrive. the top half of the lower was rebuilt, I have the old parts. the prop was changed (thought it might be slipping...

Need a traveling mechanic in Toledo, OH area to diagnose, and fix a problem in my 1988 , 268DA, with a 454 and bravo 1 outdrive.

They make you lean forward. The upholstery is fine. It's like the seat bottom does not extend out far enough. The seat back (at the top) sticks out so far that your butt has to sit out on the edge.

I have an 1987 268DA. The seats behind the helm seat are so uncomfortable. Any ideas on how to make them something that we can sit in?

I have a 268 DA, I sent my 25yr old Kenyon cook top in to have it serviced, they sent it back like brand new. Any questions I had they answered everything. Extremely awesome customer service. They will set you straight

It is called tambour. It is the same material that is used on roll top desks. I don't remember the name of the supplier, but I Google tambour panels and that's how I found them. It custom cabinets, or something like that. When you cut them you need to remove the fabric where it rides in the...

Thanks all I have an 1987 sea ray 268 DA, which I have given to my church. I have an air conditioning/ heatpump unit that I haven't installed. I volunteered to help insll it. I don't know where to start. Any ideas, please. My new boat has air, but it's all hidden. Thanks,

Again to those who have said a lot of hurtful things. This is not my place, I'm either selling the boat, or donating to a good cause. I guess that I have been blessed with a job that pays me enough, or the fact that I have invested my money well. This weekend at the Detroit boat show, I...
