    I really appreciate everyone’s input. I’m a guy who knows what I know and I know what I don’t know (which is important in life). Anyway I thank y’all very much so I can talk sensibly with marine shop tomorrow.

    looking for a "what would you do?" scenario on my 8.2L 380HP inboard engine / water intrusion

    no my apologies didn't mean to imply i would sell boat without diagnosis or repair. that was me rambling. i'll at least get the diagnosis and then make a decision depending on what needs to be done. I guess this happened just sitting in the slip i ran it 2 weeks ago and both engines were...

    Rear bilge pump replacement. UNDER GENERATOR

    Float switch is fine. When I had some water in bilge and start to plane off the water going to the back would trigger the pump to come on. When everything is quiet at dock and I hit the pump switch it comes on but won’t pump any water. Oddly enough it will pump on occasion. So I don’t...

    Rear bilge pump replacement. UNDER GENERATOR

    I’ve got a 350 sundancer with v-drives. My mid high water bilge works fine. My primary rear bilge has been problematic. Believe it needs to be replaced. Looks like they put the bilge in, dropped in the engines, covered rear bilge with platform and then put the generator on the platform...
