I used to have a 270, but I had a single... My math says that you could make it with respect to fuel. 219 km is about 135 staute miles. 5 hous, that is 27 miles per hour. My guess is that is at 3500 rpm. At that rate each engine will consume about 8.5 gallons per hour or 17 in total each...

Outdrives. They have Magnesium anodes, because I just changed them.

I boat in Lake Erie and keep the boat in the water all spring and summer. My boat (new to me) does not have anodes on the trim tabs. What kind of anode should be on the tab (Mag, Aluminum?). I thank you for any guidance that you may give. Thanks Yako

Go with a local custom shop. They fit will be better and you can make the individual panels whatever you want them to be. You can have more window, less canvas. You can put screens where you want them (in my case the back only). I would not go to OEM

That will work fine. I use the submersible pump in winterizing the engine, so I simply use that. Your pump will be fine.

Multiple methods. I use a submersible pump nad drop it into two gallons of antifreeze. plase in the water output of the AC (thru hull) and let the antifreeze run backwards. Learned from Eddie (lon Island Boat Club) on youtube. 5 minutes.

Yes, there are multiple methods. I disagree that the "muff" method is only good for the south. It is all about understanding how much dilution you have. With the muff method you get a nice homogenous mixture. This allows for the abilit yto test the mixture and see what kind of protection you...

Here is what I have been doing for years: I do this at home. First, I drain the manifolds, since it is easy to get to the plug. I have a large wash tub, whcih I place under the outdrive. I put in about 15 - 20 gallons of rv antifreeze (don't remember). Then I put on muffs that attach to a...

I agree. There are others, but you know that the swimplatforms.com will fit your boat. You can install yourself or you could pay the boatyard to install for you. My advice is to ship directly to the boatyard, as the platform comes in a crate and requires a fork truck to offload.

Is there a thread for the 300 Sundancer from the mid 1990's? Would love to see what people have done with their boats.

I am looking at buying a 300 Sundancer from 1994. This had both engines replaced the 220 Hp engines were replaced with 260 hp (5.7Lengines). When I tested the boat, I was able to get to WOT of 4200 - 4300 not the 4600 as speced. If the HP was increased and the pros stayed the same (origimnal...

I like the compartment idea. May be easier to put something there rather than repair.

I am going to purchase a 300 Sundancer form 1994. There is hole in the dash that had some old navigation equipment. It was taken out by the previous owner and he patched it with a piece of laminated wood. Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this with the wite dash material .... or..... anyone...

I would start by load testing the batteries. They may have a voltage of 12 or so, but that does not mean that the battery can generate the amperage required to start an engine. If the load test fails you need new batteries.

The three pumps are it. My float switches can be tested with a little knob that sticks out. Difficult to notice, but if I contort myself, I can reach in and twixt. This pushes the float up and then the pump starts pumping. Not sure if the sump for the shower can be manually activated. My...

Could have something to do with the angle of the hose? I don't know. In my case, just go on plane and the problem is solved.

When my 270 is on a trailer I will loose prime all of the time. This is likely because I do not close the thru hull valve when I pull the boat out. In my case, when I go on plane at 20 mph for about 10 minutes, it self primes. This year when I put the boat in it did not do this. All I did...

That is what I thought. This happened to me while underway. Since I do not use the shower, I decided to cut the wire and enjoy the day on the lake by cutting the wire. Then I repaired and put the wires back together again. I was trying to figure out if I was missing something. I tried...

I have a 1995 270. In the bilge, on the port side, there is a set of breakers for the sump and bilge pumps. The breakers are small red buttone. My question is this.... Is there a way to manually trip these breakers. I had a sump that was stuck running and wanted to turn it off in order to...

I have a 1995 270. I have an electrical question. My sump pum float got jammed and it was constantly running. In order to turn off, I thought that I could throw the breaker for the sump that is in the port side of the engine compartment. I could not figure out how to throw the breaker. I...
