    Inside Passage Experience?

    Sounds like a great idea to me. Buy a less expensive boat and pay what it costs for gas. I have a 310SA 2000 and wouldn't hesitate to do a trip like that. I am in the PNW and boat a lot around here. As luck would have it, I am selling my boat and you could use it for the trip and tow it home. I...

    Electrical Troubleshooting Help Needed

    further to my last, if the rpm is not going up on one engine ,this slower motor will cause a lot of extra drag on the boat and not allow the "good" engine to develop max rpm. I believe that once you get the motors timed correctly rpm should increase more easily on both engines hopefully giving...

    Electrical Troubleshooting Help Needed

    did you re-time the motor after the swap? This has to be done. If you don't have correct advance the motor will not reach higher rpms.

    Headliner Removal Starboard Wiper replacement.

    I am trying to fix my starboard wiper. I have removed the light in the ceiling to see wiper motor. There appears to be screws holding the wiper motor to the deck. I cannot access these screws at present time. I figured the best way was to remove the ceiling panel in that area to gain full access...

    Official (1998-2002) 310 Sundancer Thread

    As a reference, I just completed engine re-builds on a 2000 310 350 Mag/mpi v-drive boat and I got 36mph on gps at 4700 rpm. You should see something close on any well running 310 shaft drive.

    Fuel Pump Whining 350 Mag mpi 2000

    As of late I seem to notice my port engine has developed a distinct whining noise as it is running. I thought it might be the alternator but when I listened to the engine with a stethoscope ,the alternator was quiet but the cool fuel unit seemed to be emitting the whine. The engine is missing...

    Sorry but I am not thrilled with the new site. Search feature for past postings seems weak. I normally typed in a search for something and would get lots of data.At times it was bringing up some irrelevant posts by word association but that was filtered by me. As an example, I searched drive...

    Belt Squeal after alternator change... HELP

    I had the same problem on my 2000 310 DA 350 mag mpi's. The only way to fix it is to ensure all pulleys are on the same plane. I accomplished this by using washers for shimming, carefully bending some brackets, etc till all pulleys were in perfect alignment. Then make sure the belt is tightened...

    Looks great. How hard is it to remove the platform from the boat? Is it all bonded to the hull with glue or something or just bolts? thanks

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

    BT ,Thanks for the input. I am assuming I got water damage due to reversion. I will know for sure after heads are off. The engine did not overheat. Head gasket could be the problem. The engine was doing a lot of clacking at the time the oil pressure indicated bad,so I am assuming the pump might...
