Thanks for any assistance! 1996 300 Sundancer, twin 5.7L... The Windlass is getting no power. I'm not really sure where to look, so any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Thought I would post a bit of a review: First, I'm not great at polishing my boats, I'm OK at best. I researched a lot of products and experiences, and chose the Leverage Oxidation Remover and Polish based on what I read. I have a very demanding travel schedule, so I also don't have the time...

Good Afternoon, (1996 300DA/twin 5.7L Mercs, 600hrs) I'm completely lost. Here is the story- I was headed out on a trip, boat running great. Went to get fuel, leaving the gas dock my port engine was hard to start... it took about 3 separate 10 second uses of the starter for it to fire...

Detroit Gold Cup Unlimited Race This was shot with an on-board camera. First, those unlimited hydroplanes are incredibly fast, obvioulsy. This gives you a whole new perspective! Second, it's amazing he only broke his ankle hitting the wall that hard. the crash is around the 7 minute mark...

So, this is definetely my last outdrive boat. Yesterday, we took the boat out for an overnight run. Stopped for fuel, went to get back on plane and my port engine wouldn't go above 3200rpm. I idled the engines, couldn't find anything wrong. Putting the port engine in neutral, it revved...

Wow, I could never let my 16 yr old daughter try this, but I give this girl a ton of credit... Just very scary to think of a 16 yr old in 50 to 60 ft seas in the middle of the night... If you are inclined, say a prayer...

My 6 yr old caught this off the dock we were staying at over the weekend. All by herself. She is extremely proud, I guess I am too!

Hello Again- I've got an AC issue. I have a Marine Air system with the digital readout. The heat works, but I can't get the AC to kick on. For instance, my cabin is at 70 degrees right now, if i move it to 75, the heat kicks on, I can hear the compressor, etc. If I turn it to 60 degrees...

Hey Guys, I winter store my boat inside. I wheeled and waxed it and was very happy with the outcome. Today, with the boat in its slip, I gave it a good wash. I scrubbed the non-skid with Starbrite Nonskid cleaner with PTEF. After it dried, it left all kinds of green splotches on my gel...

On my 300 DA, (5.7EFI) I had been having intermittent trouble when at idle the stbd engine would "drop out" and quit... It would always start back up, but was a 50/50 proposition that it would quit again during the docking process. Anyways, a friend of mine who is a mechanic said the coil...

Hi all, Selling my boat as I have a great deal on an incoming (bigger) Sea Ray... I have combed through comps' etc, but want some perspective, so fire away! Here is what I have: 1996 300 Sundancer 5.7L EFI's (2) (600 hours) Alpha One drives, gen II with Stainless props Generator Air/Heat...

Tuggy has become a GREAT boating dog!:smt001 She is very "into" the whole scene. When docked or anchored, she watches my 8 and 5 yr olds like a hawk. When the kids were fishing on the sea wall, if they got too far away she let it be known. Also, she has become very accustomed to sleeping on...

Better than the office March Madness pool, with far less predictability!

The local SR dealer had a little boat show today, so we took our boat over there to enjoy a ride and check out the new boats. We were able to climb aboard a brand new 55DA, what a boat! I absolutely loved it... Unfortunately, I'm a little short on funds, so that one is going to have to...

So I took a week off work, grabbed the puppy, wife and kids and packed up the boat... We left the waters of Lake St Clair, through the Detroit River and on to Maumee Bay Resort on the western edge of Lake Erie. Erie was GLASS on the way over, we all really enjoyed the cruise. We stayed for...

I hope I know the answer to this, but since we have a one week vacation starting this week, I want some reassurance! This past weekend, we were cruising and I had a friends mother "driving the boat"... I noticed we were starting to slow down, while she had not touched the throttles...I then...

What I thought was a fuel problem, is not. I need somewhere to look. (These are fuel injected Merc 350's) My starboard motor fires right up, runs great. If I turn it off and let it sit, it won't start back up until the engine is cold. It will crank, but that's it. (I recently replaced...

So a couple weeks ago, I had trouble starting the stbd engine after getting fuel at the gas dock. I eventually got it restarted after limping back on one engine, right before I docked. It ran fine from there. I figured I had a fuel problem, so I replaced the fuel filters on each motor...

So we just had a nice, long weekend of races. I have to tell you, this was one of the coolest spectator events I have ever seen. The planes are amazing, the racing is spectacular, and being on your boat is a great way to watch them! They had sea planes coming in all day, they had a P-51 and...
