That looks good, but I think I may have to go in the water to tie the straps around the keel (or whatever is called). Have to be something pretty snug because with the wind gusts we get in CO I dont want to have to wake up in the middle of the night to grab the thing from the water :-) I have to...

Hi guys, Im looking for options to camp on my Sundeck 200 for one night only. We did it last year just using the bow and cockpit covers and while works we will like more room at least to stand up and use a porta potty without have bend while walk. For the bow I've found online the the tent...

thank you so much. I never touch it while try to start the boat to check if it gets hot. I will try to remember next time to touch it and check temp.

Hi guys, since I got my Sundeck 200 with the Mercruiser 5.0 MPI 2006 last year I've found almost everything from factory except for this cable that definetly someone made a jumper for a reason. Can you help me figure out what they did? Boat dont have any issue that I'm aware except for a small...

I will have to look online how to remove the drive, never done it and looks kind of scary for me.

Sorry, I may explained my self wrong, I am not taking the drive out, I was referring to the lower unit. The way I'm used to do it is removing the lower unit from the drive, thats the easy part but when have to join it back it can be tricky in my experience, the water tube, the gear rod, etc...

Thank you so much, that's what I thought. Well, something more to add to my list of maintenance, I hope the lower unit is not that hard to put back up like a bad experience I had with an old Mercury 140hp outboard that took me days of playing until finally was able to put it back up, mostly...

Hi guys, I have replaced impellers in outboards before but now on my Mercruiser 5.0 MPI with Alpha drive I am so confused if it has an impeller I have to replace/maintain as a regular maintenance too. Looking at the Service Manual I still confused because the manual talk about different models...

Thanks for the advice. Hah, I saved the plug and made the cut with enough cable just in case I had to use it one day, good thinking.

Hi folks, I'm reviving this thread because I finally installed the external trim switch. ordered the right one for the engine (the same someone posted in the picture) but the plug in mine is a flat plug while the kit came with a rounded plug, ended up splicing the cables, not too hard on my...

bump!

Hi guys, This maybe is a dumb question. I'm looking to buy a hard copy (no PDF, I already have the PDF) of the Service Manual for my Mercruiser 5.0 MPI Alpha. By all my research and serial number I need the #31. My serial number is 0W351348 and the #31 says 5.0 MPI Alpha 0M300000 so I assume my...

that makes sense, thanks!

It is a Sierra 18-3648 Thermostat Kit

Hi guys, Last October I did the winterizing of my "new to me" Sundeck 200 and because I wanted to be anal (plus this is an investment hard to afford) after the drain I did the Anti-freeze removing the thermostat and hoses to fill everything. I noticed that is a good time to replace the...

I did mine last weekend, I'm in Colorado, here temps are not too bad yet (in the high 40s and 50s at night) but Im going on vacations next week and the less I want is to come back to find out that nature threw us a last minute cold front and I lost my investment. I changed oil and oil filter...

Excellent job!!! Looks like new. Now change to an HK or a 1911 and you dont be an dumb anymore ;-)

I think there are situations and situations. I will not be offering my boat for rent BUT if I know someone who has experience or even better had a boat in the past I will rent him mine. For instance I will love to try a boat before buy it, which option do I have? rent it... I will love to rent a...

Thank you very much. Mine has the brackets, I just need to find out a good material like PVC to make that piece, I thought about wood but im not sure. Definetly looks like the same "mechanic" who left the wrench in the bilge area didnt put that piece back lol

definitely I got the radio location detail messed up because I thought it was the 240. bolt on platforms are good? dont have experience with them. I discarded the 270, now im with 260 in the first place or 240. what is the problem with the catalytic converters? rust? I will like to try the...
