I'll chime in... The laser temp gauge is cheap and nice to have for lots of jobs but it works great on reading the temperature of your thermostat. As mentioned before the raw water cooled engine carries a 140 for the express purpose of preventing the salt to crystalize within engines water...

Just went through this with my 270 Sundancer. In my previous 84 Cuddy Fisherman I had an Alpha and it was much more akin to Frankenstein than a Mercrusier after having that thing for over ten years.... I had a new pump and old rams then an old pump with new rams.... It was a mess but it still...

Well PD I got to tell ya it's not going to be pretty. I have a 1998 270 with a 7.4 and although the boat was practically new (247 hrs) Rust never sleeps. My Mannys and Risers were original as well. I put off changing them because I've done it before... and the boat LOOKED so new. I lost the...

My 98 270DA has the radio, cassette tape, and remote at the helm. Can I select a newer clarion to use the remote and connections but has the AUX input for MP3s instead. Haven't had much luck talking with Clarion.:grin:

Based on your troubleshooting so far I'd be willing to bet you have a seazed shift cable going down into the foot. Unfortunately the drive must be removed to replace that but it is not a terribly hard job but time consuming. The tilt is also indicative of a boat that has been sitting for quite a...

My 98 270 has lighted toggle switches for all accessories but the labels for these switches appears to be just silk screened on with white lettering. How do I light up these labels while underway. I know the instrument cluster has a dimmer for the gauges but I'm talking about lighting up the...
