As you can see I have a 1996 400EC with 7.4l, 496 engines. I am going to change the oil myself. What oil should I use. I read about Mobil 1, 15W-50 Then I read some others. Now I am not sure. Thanks, Joe

I am looking for a repair and maintenance facility for my Sea Doo Jet Boat. I am on the Bush River, live in Harford County. If anyone has any ideas of some good shops that would be very helpful. Thanks, Joe.

I have been tracking my trips and I keep coming up with the same numbers or very close. Last night 8 of us went for a cruise down the river, across the Chesapeake Bay to Fairlee Creek and after some food, conversation and drinks we came back. So: 8 adults 200 gals of fuel 3/4 water Dinghy...

Finally, got out on the bay over this past weekend. Took some colleagues from work for the afternoon. I have to say the boat ran wonderfully well and so did the dinghy ok the motor. We came out of the Bush River across the bay to Still Pond. Anchored up and then took the dinghy for a spin...

Ok everyone here is the situation. Some time between right now and next summer I am retiring and headed to Cary, NC. I am not planning to take my boats. My 400EC needs the three aft panels and probably the front window 5pc enclosures. 1. Since my Bimini is only 4years old I was thinking...

I have to lights on the arch that I use at night when backing into my slip. They are old and falling apart but work very well. Over the winter the one housing broke so I decided to replace them with LED's. I bought the entire unit not just the bulb. Here is the issue - I have wired them up...

Ok - I am working on my 1988 270 SD. She has 4.3L/175HP Mercruisers with carbs. I started the engines last week both ran fine except for the Starboard engine that wouldn't idle. Just so you know, we rebuilt the outdrives and new carb kits on both. Port engine was fine no issue. I decided...

I am looking for a good and I mean good detailer to bring the shine back up on my 400EC and if they do a good job there then the 270 Sundancer. Had my shoulder replaced and still not quite strong enough to tackle that job just yet. I am up on the Bush River at APG Thanks for the help......Joe

I think I would like to put a hardtop on my 400EC. Currently have canvas. Is this an option? If so where do I look to find one? thanks,

Thinking about retiring and if I were and wanted to move to Florida which location or other would you suggest. Looking for boating, golf and warm weather.

First - I did try searching within the site for question above but one I couldn't find anything and I am running out of time. So, I am getting ready to Haul out. In years past I have always filled my tanks and treated them with some form of fuel stablizer. I have done a ton of research on...

I may be moving to Suffolk, VA to take over a business. If I do are there any good marinas and boating in that area. I think I was told I would be about 40 miles from VA Beach.

Before i start I have posted this in two other areas. Here and in the 410Sundancer/400EC Official Thread. No input yet but I am running out of time and need some suggestions So, here's the story........... In June I started both engines while still on land. No problems with either one. A...

So, here's the story........... In June I started both engines while still on the land. No problems with either one. A few days later I launch the boat. Starboard engine starts and purrs like a kitten. very happy. Port engine having trouble starting. Finally starts but it is very erradic...

Below is a link to this Hard Top company. they make a top for your boat that weighs, depending on size, about 100lbs. One of the member at our club just had one put on his boat. His boat is not a cruiser but a fly bridge. Looks good and stable. Just wondering if anyone has seen this and...

I have read and watched WM videos and more on the removal of the 30amp shore power outlet. Here's the issue. There are four screws in the plate. I believe they are like a wood screw since when you are installing the outlet they tell you to drill a small tap hole then start the screw in. My...

From another thread I wrote about the Fuel pump issue, mechanical water pump and the Vapor Separator Tank that was causing the surging issue. Replaced the fuel pumpand water pump and cleaned the VST. Picked up the boat on Friday night. Did some cleaning on Saturday morning and then decided...

Before I post this - I did search to for Algrip and paint not much so I am posting this here. I have two other boats besides the 400EC. I have a 1988 SeaRay 270 Sundancer. I am thinking that I would like to paint the boat with the Algrip paint. I have been doing some reading and watching...

My high pressure fuel pump on the Starboard side is reading about 25 at 2500RPM. Mechanic says we need to replace it or get a Fuel Pump Kit. Question 1 - Which one should I do? Replace or Rebuild Question 2 - Should I take it apart and clean it first and then do one of Question 1? As of...

My boart engine is fine at idle but from 1000 to 1800 RPM's it will cycle up and down. Meaning the RPM's will go from 1800 to 1000/1200. At higher RPM's it does it but not as much. any suggestions - I have already replaced the Racor Fuel Filters.
