    ‘02 Amberjack, Mag 350 MPI - Strong Fuel Smell at idle and difficulty starting

    After all of my troubleshooting I have to agree with cfd95. I assumed my engine witj 100 hours was healthy and the problem was related to electrical, fuel injection, computer, or sensors. The problem was low compression and low vacuum which told the computer to match fuel demand to manifold...

    ‘02 Amberjack, Mag 350 MPI - Strong Fuel Smell at idle and difficulty starting

    1.Put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail, test pressure at idle and with vacuum supply to pressure regulator removed. Fuel pressure should rise with vacuum supply removed, if this does happen your pressure regulator is good. Now put vacuum supply back on let engine idle for a min to...

    ‘02 Amberjack, Mag 350 MPI - Strong Fuel Smell at idle and difficulty starting

    I have the same issue with my port engine. No computer codes, new injectors, fuel pressure is correct. Only thing that is different is my IAC position when warm. Ignition timing jumps more than other engine. I am leaning towards computer wire harness is bad and when warm resistance causes a...

    Shaft leak (V-Drives)

    As the owner of a 2000 310 Sundancer with V drives I can tell you that don't try and change the shaft seal in the water. The black plastic ring on the shaft is a spare seal. You would need to remove spare seal cover, 2 screws. Changing the seal in the water requires you to hang upside down and...

    2000 310 SA 5.7 V drive oil press loss, engine removal?

    I have replaced my engine and am in the process of replacing the other. You will need to pull the prop to allow the shaft to slide back thru the transmission. The coupler is the hard part, one came off just fine with a gear puller and the other engine I am having to cut it off. You will need...

    Removing 99 310 DA v drive transmission separately

    I have a 2000 310 with drives, this past year I replaced one of my engines by removing the transmission with the engine. My advice is to pull out engine with transmission, because there are mounting bolts that are not accessible with unit in the boat. You will have to remove prop shaft no...

    Yes there is a fader on the stero. It is difficult to use but it is there. Also there is a 30 watt amp behind the stero that drives the cockpit speakers . The amp has a separate volume control for the cockpit speakers.

    350 Mag Belt Slipping - 320 Sundancer V Drive

    The bearings in the seawater pump are going bad. Trust me I know it happened on both of my engines. They will seize and break the belt while under way. The engine will overheat very fast. Dont mess around anymore replace both pumps. This happened to me with same engine set up.

    Condensation in guages on dashboard

    I had the same problem except it was a film on the inside of glass and would not dry out. I had to take apart gauges and clean the glass. Not easy but it can be done. Mine looked like they had fog on the inside of the glass.

    Sounds like your battery switches are off or they are dead. You should have 2 house batteries and a port engine battery. I had all 3 fail due to a lack of service, i did not add water and the battery charger cooked all 3.
