    5.0 MPI died while idling, restarted, then dies when shifting into gear

    Any chance there could be something wrapped around the propeller?

    Bravo One - Pretty bad water intrusion in gear lube

    None at all! The drive ran as good as ever. After this repair I put about another 10 hours on the boat and ended up selling (completely unrelated to this repair). I know that the new owner had everything looked over by his mechanic and they were impressed by the condition of the boat and...

    Where to get that stupid water pressure sensor.??

    Ive tried purchasing a less expensive sensors on amazon/eBay and never had any luck with them. I've always ended up spending more money and having to buy the OEM mercruiser part anyway.

    260 Sundancer Thread.........Comments questions and answers

    Before purchasing our 240, my wife and I looked at the 260 and the difference between cabins is pretty minimal. I believe the cabin height on the 260 may have been an inch or so taller. Any reason why you're not looking at the 280?

    Time to sell!

    Sold! Just closed and delivered the boat to its new owner today. Very happy with the amount of attention we got on this boat, took just under three weeks from the time the listing was on BoatTrader.

    Time to sell!

    That's the rear Bimini itself, which I don't have spare. Do you already have the frame? Have you called Great Lakes for the price?

    Time to sell!

    Are you referring to the rear Bimini itself? If you can post a picture of the piece you're looking for, I'll see if I have it.

    Time to sell!

    Well, like a few others on this forum, I think it's time for my wife and I to move up from our Sundancer 240 and into something that we can keep in the water. This boat has been an absolutely pleasure to own, and I think we made the most out of being able to trailer. We've taken this boat all...

    Question for all my fellow DIYers out there

    Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great Monday. I have a question aimed at those of you who take care of your own boat maintenance. How do you manage your maintenance logs and data? For the past three years I have filled out the paper log included in the Mercruiser manual, however it...

    Bravo One - Pretty bad water intrusion in gear lube

    Update: I was able to remove the bellhousing pretty easily. I have it off and I'm currently working on cleaning it up. The paint was peeling in places and there was light corrosion starting to build up around the pivot points. I've sanded it down and am working on repainting. As scoflaw said...

    Bravo One - Pretty bad water intrusion in gear lube

    Thanks Bill, I hadn't thought about replacing the shift cable, but that is probably something to consider. I can probably manage the job without removing the shift cable from the bell-housing at all, however I was considering removing the bell-housing so that I could touch up the paint on the...

    Bravo One - Pretty bad water intrusion in gear lube

    Quick question for anybody reading this thread: To remove the bellhousing, how do I disconnect the shift cable? I see from diagrams that there appears to be a nut on both the inside and outside of the housing. Also, will I need to worry about messing up the shift cable adjustment? Thanks in...

    Bravo One - Pretty bad water intrusion in gear lube

    Just wanted to post a quick update: Went to the boat the evening to work on replacing the fitting (plastic fitting that goes through the transom). I was able to remove the plastic fitting relatively easily, but found that it was near impossible to remove the gear lube hose from the bell...
