    Pump out on a trailer

    My 240 has the vacuflush with the optional discharge for offshore use. Being on a no-discharge inland lake, the optional discharge was only useful when on the trailer. I made a fitting with a soft rubber ring on one side and an RV waste connector on the other side. That was then attached to a...

    Kenyon Kiss Butane stove in 260da

    My 2006 240 Sundancer has the butane stove. I used it occasionaly for years, and encountered 2 problems: 1) The stove's butane compartment is vented via a hose to a through hull opening as a safety feature. That way if butane leaks into the sealed compartment, it cannot escape into the cabin...

    Generator for 2007 Sundancer 240

    If you use a portable generator on a boat there are a lot of risks, and you absolutely must learn about all of them and do all you can to mitigate them. I would call the likelihood of having a serious problem a moderate probability/catastrophic consequences scenario. CO is not the only issue...

    06 240 Sundander backfiring between 2-4K RPMS

    This is what I ordered. Was about $60 on Amazon 2 years ago. The GM P/N matched mine, problem instantly went away after installing it, and has worked for about 85 engine hours since then. Good Luck, and please post whatever your solution turns out to be

    06 240 Sundander backfiring between 2-4K RPMS

    Had similar backfire issue with my 2006 350 Mag MPI. Changed multiple things as you did, no luck, then fixed it by putting in a new crank angle sensor. Pulled mine, got the GM part number off of it then ordered from Amazon. Will look for the PN and post it later if I can find it. On mine...

    Engine: 2006 350 MAG MPI with the Gen 3 cool fuel module. Cleaning up the innards of my cool fuel module, replacing pumps and pressure reg, aware of the paint chip issue, having my injectors and rail cleaned, etc. One topic I have never seen discussed is the check valve in the cool fuel...

    Gen III Cool Fuel: Pumps & Pressure Reg?

    Gen III Cool Fuel Module; mine is original on a 2006 350 MAG MPI/240 Sundancer. (paint chips were cleaned out several hundred hrs. ago) Has anyone found direct suppliers for the correct fuel pumps and pressure regulator other than buying the Mercruiser parts? One of my pumps was still stamped...

    Fuel pump replacement

    I strongly suggest removing the entire module. I have opened/cleaned out my Gen III cool fuel module on my 2006 350 Mag MPI twice, and it needs to be out on a bench for a thorough cleaning, not to mention aligning the seals and wires on the pumps is tricky. Mine is actually open on the bench now...

    RPM During Starter Cranking?

    Better late than never-just sharing what I learned to close out this thread. Hopefully it helps someone rule their starter in or out as part of the problem if their engine cranks but doesn’t start. Starter Cranking RPM for a 2006 350 MAG MPI Engine with a 555 ECM; (and other engines, but I...

    GaugeSaver

    If your gauges are starting to fail, or just have cracked lenses, I highly recommend GaugeSaver in Green Cove Springs, Florida. They saved my Smartcraft Tach with multi-function LCD/ and troll control. It had been acting very strange, intermittently, without any rhyme or reason. Totally blank...

    RPM During Starter Cranking?

    Thank you all for the input. Sounds like I might be replacing the starter based on the low cranking RPM, not to mention the desire for added reliability to avoid getting stranded. will decide that soon. Batteries are about 3 years old. When this problem started I had checked battery voltage...

    RPM During Starter Cranking?

    2006 Mercruiser 350 MAG MPI/Bravo III. 800 hours on it, including original starter. This only pertains to cranking an engine that won't start: Has anyone ever watched the max RPM achieved when cranking their engine, when it has a problem and won't start? What did RPM you get? On a related...

    350 MAG MPI Ignition Coil

    Yes I was surprised, believe or not, Autozone had a nice professional looking electronic box made for testing ignition modules. It had various cables/connectors and a book and part number tables that they used to set it up. I wish I had gotten a closer look, (technical curiousity) but I did...

    350 MAG MPI Ignition Coil

    Thanks Shenanigans. By coincidence, I just got back from Autozone. Used the same model GM engine as you suggested to compare my coil to a new one they had for the 98 GM 5.7 truck engine. All resistance values on the new coil matched the values I listed earlier for my coil, so for now I am...

    350 MAG MPI Ignition Coil

    Thanks Thornton. I'll see if I can bench test that one, and if so, will post the result. I was able to do a bench check on the crank sensor and it passed.

    350 MAG MPI Ignition Coil

    I have a 2006 240 Sundancer with the 350 MAG MPI/Bravo III. It has 800 hours on it and it has never died or failed to start until now. I am the original owner. While running fine on plane for 5 minutes, about 4000 rpm, it just died like you turned off the key. No Smartcraft beeps or fault...
