    Trailer Hub Grease

    I was doing some preventative maintenance on my fishing boat trailer and have had issues getting the right seal for it, I guess it’s hard to find, go figure. Anyway, the previous owner was very meticulous with maintenance and included a number of extra parts with the boat, including an extra...

    Pickup tube replacement

    Anyone replaced their pickup tube? I was wondering how likely it is for the fitting to break? I was considering changing mine in my 2000 Sundeck 210 due to having vapor lock type symptoms over the past couple of years. We didn’t have the issues as bad this past summer as the one before, I...

    Bellows Replacement

    I'm sure this has been addressed somewhere, but I'll ask anyway. 2000 Alpha 1, Gen 2 outdrive, due for bellows replacement. How difficult is this job? Would you strongly recommend a mechanic or is DIY possible with some mechanic skills (not advanced though lol)? Also, I plan to replace the...

    Sea Ray 210BR Interior

    Curious if anyone has redesigned the interior of their 210BR? My dad bought a '01 210BR Signature new and it has been in the family ever since. My brother has it now, but wants to sell it as he has a Cobalt R7 Surf and the 210 sits in storage. I have a '00 210 Sundeck with the 5.0. I love the...

    2000 Sundeck 210 Engine Venting

    As some of you have probably seen, I have had some vapor locking issues that I have been fighting. I had come to the conclusion that I just needed to get the booster pump kit and hopefully be done with it, and then I spoke to a mechanic yesterday (I don't think Mercruiser certified, but has a...

    Older Bowrider vs Newer

    My 2000 Sundeck weighs 3600 lbs dry with a 220 or 240 hp 5.0, my brother's 2001 210 BR is 3400 lbs dry with a 250 HP 5.7. I like the styling of the SPX models, but noticed the standard engine has 200hp with optional models up to 250hp with a good amount of cost increase. I also noticed the OB...

    210 Sundeck Performance

    2000 Sundeck 210 5.0 efi I have a 4 blade 17P Solus prop that I am currently running and also the OEM SS 19P prop (vengeance) in storage. I swapped to the 17P 4 blade to try and help with holeshot. I believe it did, but I was also having some mechanical work done on the boat (project boat) so...

    2000 Sundeck 5.0 efi water temp sender

    The other day, I started the 2000 Sundeck 5.0 efi for the first time and all was good. Last year, the water temp occasionally jumped some on the gauge, so since I had just had the lower unit serviced and replaced the gauge a couple of years ago, I figure either the sender or the thermostat might...

    Sundeck 210 Fish Finder

    Can anyone with an early 2000s model Sundeck 210 post any pics of their transducer routing from the outside and inside of their boat? Mine has the swim platform and I have been trying to figure out how to route the transducer cable, but having a hard time settling on a location to drill through...

    Transducer Replacement

    I have a Sundeck 210, but I recently purchased a skiff that could use some input on. I looked over it well before I bought it and I didn’t see any places in the hill other than some typical scuffs from use, but nothing that looked like it was deep enough to leak or any gashes, cracks, or damaged...

    Winterizing Question

    Dumb question here....I usually winterize around the end of October before we have a few nights that are below freezing temps. We have a couple of nights next week that are projected to be 31 degrees or so with daytime temps around 60 and a little above. I have some work that I need to do really...

    Looking for help…still

    2000 Sundeck 210 5.0 efi. I’ve been dealing with this issue all summer. I have changed the IAC valve, fuel pump, and fuel regulator so far. I just water tested for the first time since changing the fuel pump and regulator. The problem: Before changing the fuel pump, the boat starts fine first...

    Bleed fuel lines? Fuel pump swap

    2000 Sundeck 210 5.0 efi. I am in the process of replacing the fuel pump and regulator in my sundeck 210. I’m hoping to pull out the entire assembly (pump, cooler, regulator) and unhook the fuel lines at the fuel/water separator and then the fuel line that goes from the back top side of the...

    2000 Sea Ray Sundeck 210 5.0 EFI, 340 hours I've been having an issue on and off this summer, and I have a plan to deal with it, but I would like to have anyone's mechanically inclined opinion on the matter, especially if you have experienced this same issue before. I'll try to keep this as...

    Lower Unit Replacement

    I have a 2001 Sundeck 210 with a 5.0, Alpha 1 Gen 2 Outdrive 1.62 gear ratio. I had my lower unit serviced last year and the mechanic that serviced it said the lower unit housing had some pitting and next time I have it serviced, I may want to consider replacing the lower unit. My boat runs...

    Mercruiser 5.7 Manifold & Riser Question

    We have had our 2000 210 Sundeck for 4 years and have never been stranded, never had any temp problems. Because I purchased the boat needing work and don't know much about the history before I got it and the fact that the manifold on the port side didn't have a gasket at the block, I decided to...

    Magic Eraser and Oxidation

    Hey everyone! I am working a little at a time to get the shine back on my Sundeck 210. Based on what I've read online regarding Magic Eraser, I definitely don't plan to use it on the outside of the boat...also, I believe I am good in that area anyway. So, here is my question: On the inside of...

    High Voltage Question

    We took out our 2000 210 Sundeck this weekend for the first time and it ran great! I did notice that the voltage gauge read 16 volts and don't remember it reading that high before. Yesterday, I did some checking with the voltmeter and read 11 volts on the battery posts (not running), when I...
