    Quicksilver Generator Oil Dipstick Question

    I believe I have read all of the Quicksilver threads on here but can't find my answer. I have the 6.5 in my 89 DA. The dipstick is plastic and runs through a plastic tube to the outside of the generator. The tube is tapered and just sticks in a hole in the side of the motor. No grommet...

    Replacing carpet with... more carpet!

    I have read plenty of threads about different flooring options. I love the idea of getting rid of the mauve carpet in our 89 340 and replacing with a hard surface but it’s not a top priority. Carpet will go in much easier and cheaper. Does anyone have any suggestions on the type of carpet...

    MarineAir thermostat issue.

    I have what I assume is the original thermostat on the original MarineAir 16000 BTU system. It’s the standard 3 knob style. From what I can tell after a season and a half of use is it basically has 2 settings, off and on. The Start mode does nothing, have to turn it to On to get it to pump or...

    Newly rebuilt carbs and last years fuel...

    Finally made time this spring to pull the carbs off my Merc 454s on my 1989 340 Sundancer. Took them to a trusted auto mechanic for a rebuild. He said the fuel inside was pretty nasty and he suggested I drain my tanks. I trust him to work on the carburetors but he is not a boat guy. The...

    Cabin light bulb.

    Sorry to post this again, just figured it may get lost in the old 340 thread. Anyone found an LED replacement bulb for these fixtures? I think the bulb is a #53. The ones I found on Amazon don’t look like they’d fit. Thanks!

    Just another Quicksilver generator thread...

    I believe I've read all of the other threads and looking for some more help. I have a 6.5 kw Quicksilver that was out of the boat when I purchased it. It has been diagnosed with a short. Engine runs but needs a tune up. There is a shop in town that "may" be able to rewire it and get it...

    89 340DA. Need help identifying weep hole...

    Is there anything under the large flat space on each side of the hull, outboard of the engines, under the exhaust (see pics)? I have a very slight weep coming from the starboard side. Inside of hole feels like it may be filled with foam. I'm scared that I'm waterlogged in there. Anyone seen...

    89 340 DA - Need help identifying fuse sizes

    I tracked down a bad fuse in the panel to the right side of the helm. The panel isn't labeled and I haven't removed all of the fuses in the panel yet to track down what each controls. When I do this I want to double check that each circuit has the right size fuse. There are also a couple of...

    Oil leak near fuel pump

    I took our 1989 Sea Ray 210 BR out yesterday for the first time this season with a prospective buyer. The engine is a Mecruiser 350. There was a little oil on the floor of the bilge and it appears to be seeping out around the fuel pump. It looks like it's coming out of the pump, not where the...

    Hiring a detailer

    i bought an 89 340 DA last fall. Just moved it into its summer slip in a covered marina on the Ohio. Cleaned it up and things look ok. Not completely chalky but needs a little polishing and waxing. Was hoping to have the boat pulled this Spring but due to nasty flooding this year everyone is...

    Found a new leak on 89 340 DA

    I was wrapping up winterizing today and it was raining. Found a leak in the corner between galley and head, at the top of the window. This is a new boat to me but from the looks of it I'd say it's been dripping for a while. As anyone run into this? Is there one spot that tends to be the...

    Purasan winterizing

    Anyone have any experience winterizing a newer Purasan system? The directions clearly state to not use antifreeze so you must drain the tank separately. Wondering if anyone had figured out a good system for pushing/pumping out the contents and being able to collect it. The location of my tank...
