Probably not the best answer, been having that problem intermittently for years . Cleaned and grounded everything you could think of. All I do now is jiggle the wirering harness once in a wile and it’s usually good for 6 months

Bob I’ll give you 300 for everything

Josh , common problem with that distributor. Forgot the name of the company , just google broken 4.3 distributor,but they make a metal ring that fits perfectly under the distributor and allows you to screw cap to it. Bought one to use in a pinch for a couple of days,4 years later I’m still...

Hi everybody, After 17 good years Port motor On my 280 had enough, Was looking to repower but can’t seem to find anyone that sells 4.3 mpi motors. Can find plenty of carb motors but no fuel injection , to me it just makes no sense. Thinking of going with new long blocks, or has anyone ever...

Thanks for the responses. I have been using mercruiser 20 W50. Curious why it would drop. Boat sits in saltwater with 300 hours on it. Thanks Tony

Hey guys, I have twin 2005 4.3s. Upon start up, both have about 55 psi oil pressure. After about 15 minutes cruising at 3500, port oil pressure drops to about 35. At idle, it will drop to about 20. Starboard will stay at 55 and drop to 30 at idle. Any ideas as to what would cause the drop...

Maybe a dumb question, but how would you flush out the engine

Hey guys, been chasing this problem since the day I bought the boat, this,that and the other thing, after 6 years I finally gave up and just start the boat at half throttle. Works every time

Hi guys,2005 twin 443s. Split the starboard unit in half to change the impeller. Was going to put it back the exact way it came out, but half of the fins are pointing clockwise and half the fins are pointing counter clockwise. Never had any problems with temperature. Everybody said put the...

Sorry thought this was a Craigslist add

I guess I just look at life a lot definitely, your buddy bought a sea ray with EIM pads , they suck ,we all know it. So how much is an old used pad worth, who knows ,probably be useless in a year or two anyway. If it was up to me I’d say who ever wants it pay me for shipping and it’s yours

Hey guys, reason I originally posted this because I backed the boat into the slip, was in a rush had to leave quickly though it would be good if there was some way I could leave the blowers running a little while to alleviate any heat sink

Just wondering if it would help with the heat sink, maybe help extend the life of the battery,or anything else in the bilge

hi guys, just wondering,this might be a dumb question but was wondering if anyone has ever hooked up there blowers to a timer or maybe a thermostat . Thanks Tony

Hey guys Tony again, 2005 280 Sundancer twin 4.3s. I went down to the boat to swap oil pressure sending units. Long story short, ran the boat with both sending units disconnected, analog and smart craft gauges were giving me steady readings. It makes no sense. I know I have an oil pressure...

Hi guys, It’s Tony again. 2005 280 twin 4.3s. Port engine suddenly has 10 lbs less oil pressure than starboard. Heard no banging, no noises and no tapping. Runs normal. Oil pressure fluctuates up and down with rpms. Never goes under 30 lbs even at warm idle, but is still all of a sudden 10...

No should be higher than 4100. Said there was a problem with the trim tabs, are they controlled by the eim, have a lot of problems with those pads, just google it. May be causing them to be all out of wack

going to order a new filter, seems like it’s a regular garden hose fitting. Always thought it was a 3/4 fitting but sea more available for 5/8s. Sounds dumb but witch one is it. Thanks Tony

Changed the plugs over the winter, was a nightmare getting to the back one. Had to do it blindly, buy a couple of extra, can’t tell you how many I’ve dropped on the back side

hi guys, try to keep it short, had the cap off the holding tank, where you would pump it out from. Tried to fill some of the tank with the garden hose to flush out the tank but it would not take any water, seemed to just fill the hose, not sure if there’s a check valve there. When I flushed the...
