I havn't read the entire thread so forgive me if I reply in error. For the record I have 2003 340 dancer with 6.2L and have been trying to get the bow down using the tabs for a long time without any success. The reason for this is because the boat was porpoising (pushing water and not...

thank you very much...I will!! I was expecting to see some kind of spring loaded tensioner or slot bracket. I also suspect that this pulley is squeeking (bearings) and has a little bit of play....

how do you loosen the serpentine belt on a 6.2L mercruiser.....how does the idler pulley work?

2003 mercruiser 6.2L MPI.....How do you release the serpentine belt tension?

boat: 2003 340 Sundancer (375 international or SDA...newer shape 2003) I need the waterline length and waterline beam. When i inquired through the SR site they didn't know and gave me over-all numbers?!! Any idea where to find?

Hi 320Bob........you had 17x19 factory 3 blades on your 320 Dancer before you got the DQX 18x18 Nibral's right?

yup........130 difference between the sides

plenty of room in the tunnels for 18 x 18........want to go 4 blade for some more docking control.......factory prop is a 17x 19 3 blade.......what do you think the effect will be.....WOT is currently 5200 with the last 500 doing absolutely nothing for additional speed.

did you sell these props....I'm looking

Any one out there have a 2003 340 Dancer SDA (the new one for that year...SDA) with the standard 6.2L V-drive. (also any 2004 or 2005 with this power). Have you re-proped with something other than the factory 17x19 3 bladed prop?

SR used Teleflex marine red/blue water hoses with metal compression fittings on the ends. A couple of these connections continue to leak and actually get worse the more you tighten them. I ended up replacing a couple of these hose runs with RV pipeing and those quick connect fittings...

Couldn't agree more. The journey is the destination. The 'underpowered' thing is about moving my sorry a%$ around the marina at idle speed. (bad title on post)...SR has said there is no better prop application for this hull...the 17X19 is the correct application and the specs are dead on...

$29.50 per foot, Hilton Beach, Ontario, Can (North Channel, Lake Huron).....this Marina goes by the model number on the hull versus LOA which is nice. Anybody out there every heard of a marina actually measuring?

Yup......2 340s were built in 2003. SR refers to mine as the 2003 340 SDA (a mold that was used until 2008......3 captains chairs.....arctic white)......built in platform, 37.5 x 12

Agreed! Yesterday I had the boat in the shop for 27X29 cupped variable pitch wheels, had the bow thruster from a lake freighter installed (the V-birth is now gone), had a pair of Cummings Diesels put in (actually left the gas ones in for some extra poop in case its really blowing), volvo...

drawing a blank right now but forward idle is probably about 650 so there would be a little room......as I'm sure you know we need to stay below 1000 with this theory

The boat is on spec.....the captain is not. Don't worry about fendering up, I live in Canada and I just put the boat on the hard for the winter. It would appear there is little prop solution for this. As for the hazing.....by all means! My only beef is that it's criminal to waste really...

Thanks Rod....actually been powering both on the spin for fear of grabbing the wrong one (not always good either)....I swear if you drive I/O for too long your screwed up for ever

Thanks Trit21.....last boat was I/Os and I just having a hard time getting my head around 4 sticks versus 2.......

Gary......you're not listening to the question becuase your too interested in being entertaining! I don't want to go faster......36 is plenty. The prop bite is for dock control. I'm finding the boat is not responsive when I'm moving it around at idle speed 'There is a lag' that I thought...
