I took it back to the dealer, they said that the settings on the back of the tach were wrong...that problem has been solved. Then when I picked it up the stereo wouldn't turn on at all anymore. Took it back and left it with them for a few days and just picked it up again today. Now, the stereo...

Thanks for the info. The Merc Prop selector recommended a different prop that I might try, but I'm probably just gonna take it back to the dealer this week and let them figure it out.

Hello, I recently picked up my 2019 210 SPX with a Mercury 150 and found that the dealer put the wrong prop on it...not the first time I've had this issue with them on a boat they sold me. The sticker on the motor gives a max rpm of 5000-5600 and currently WOT is about 7000rpm. The prop...

Thanks for the info! I'm not running any amps for the stereo, the battery is the same age as the boat and connections seem to be ok. Any suggestions on how to narrow down the possible issues? I've done a lot of work on my Mercruiser engines but until now I've never had an issue with these...

Hello, I just picked up a 2019 Sea Ray SPX 210 with a Mercury 150 and one of the first things I noticed was that the stereo, a Fusion MS-SRX400 wouldn't turn on. AFter messing around with it I found a 15a fuse in the back of the head-unit that didn't appear to be blown, but when I replaced it...

That helps a lot, but I can’t figure out, am I adjusting that on the throttle side of the cable or somewhere else? Not really sure where to look. Maybe this is a dumb question, but I’ve never had to do anything with shift cables before. Thanks

I scheduled a time to pull the boat and work on it but, now I’m wondering if that’s actually necessary. For a couple weeks now, most of the time when the boat is sitting in neutral, I can hear a sight knocking sound coming from the outdrive but it goes away as soon as I put the boat in forwards...

I checked the oil, it seems to vary quite a bit in height over the course of a day, but once the engine is cold it always returns to the same spot. What do I do if it’s a cone clutch? Is that something I can fix myself? Thanks

My 2004 240 Sundancer started having an issue, where at random times when I shift it into forwards, there is about a five or six second delay before it actually shifts into forwards. The only way to get around it is to apply throttle, but this results in the boat suddenly lurching forwards and...

Yeah, I use the Mercury High Performance gear oil. I was hoping it could be something simple that doesn’t require pulling out of the water... It’s possible that there is a leak in the pipes, but that wouldn’t explain why all the threads on the reservoir and in the cap were full of oil. I guess...

Unfortunately, the oil hasn’t been changed in a long time and if anything it was a little lower than normal, as I haven’t topped it off recently. I read somewhere about water leaking into the outdrive and causing similar symptoms, and my biggest fear is that I’ll put more oil in, run the engine...

I just did, everything appears to be there still

I’ve got a 2006 260 Sundancer with a 350 Mag MPI and Bravo III outdrive. Yesterday the boat was out for most of the day and had no issues. This morning I went to start it up and the low drive lube alarm was going off. There is oil splattered everywhere, likely from dripping on the drive belt...

That’s a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll definitely be setting that up soon.

I can turn on the stereo at the remote, but the Bluetooth receiver that plugs into the aux is battery powered, so it neeeds to be turned on every time and it has to be charged after 12ish hours of use. I tried to find a way to plug it into the charger continuously so it doesn’t have to be turned...

Yes-I’ve done that already, it just gets annoying to have to turn it on down in the cabin everytime that the boat starts again. But for the time being, that’s what it will have to be.

Unfortunately, the remote is molded into the dash, but the piece it’s molded into is small and easy to remove with just three screws. Maybe I could replace the entire trim piece? I’m not really sure what I want for the antenna. Whatever it takes to make it work...

Hello, I’ve been trying to find a new stereo for my 2004 240 Sundancer. It currently has a Clarion XMD3 head unit with a m301rc (oval) remote. I was hoping to find something a bit higher quality and have Bluetooth. The problem I’m having is finding something that will either be compatible with...

Yes, I just left it and figured I would have a mechanic fix it at my next haulout because it was only leaking when I was onboard. Then a couple weeks ago while boating the seawater pump started leaking a steady stream of water into the engine compartment whether the boat was running or not. I...

I have a 2004 240 Sundancer that I currently have moored on fresh water. I have been wanting to move it over to salt water soon and am wondering what the best options are to save my engine. Should I add a Neutra-Salt system? Convert to closed cooling? Or add a flush kit? Are there other options...
