The boat was running fine on Sunday. All stats were good according to Vesselview. It seemed a little louder (more than usual) at 2000 rpm but at 3300 it ran perfectly. Got back near my slip and the engine died at idle. It wouldn't start & I got towed in but 1/2 hour later it started and would...

Been battling an engine stalling issue just out of blue. Starts, runs for a minute then dies. I can wait a few minutes, same thing over and over. (8.1 engines with Gen 3 newer fuel cool) Long story short, I switch fuel cool modules from the good engine to bad, now it runs fine. "bad module"...

I am chasing a fuel issue (I think) and with new fuel pumps in the cool fuel module, they are running at key On, still no fuel. I probably need to prime the line and I will check the water sep/filter for water but now I'm questioning the anti siphon valve. I believe mine is connected to the...

My engine has just 270 hours. Salt water boat & installed in 2016. I was going about 6 mph for 30 minutes and one engine just died. It would crank but not start. After I got into the slip I tried again and it did start for 30 seconds or so and then died. The longer I let it sit, it seemed like...

I'm just trying to understand how it works before i do my installation. I have a hydraulic pump for an old autopilot system that I will keep using (with new electronics). But the thing that confuses me is it's just 2 wires (12v) going to it. I don't understand how it knows to "pump" towards...

So I have a 1995 370 sundancer searay (twin engine stern drive) with B&G equipment which most doesn't work. Only thing that works actually is the depth gauge. The boat has autopilot but it was unhooked down at the linkage. I can get the system to turn on but the compass reading on the screen...

I have twin 8.1s. (2015 engines, 225 hours on both) New manifolds, risers, port impeller, starboard pump and impeller, and cruising speed temps run at 160-163 all day long. No overheating at all. I have vesselview installed also. One thing vesselview has always shown me was the water pressure...

I have a 95 SeaRay 370 with somewhat new 8.1 engines and I believe zf hurth trans. 200 hours on engines today it ran great until the end of the day. I got an alarm for starboard only. (Just audible alarm) It only came on from 1100 rpm to 1500 rpm. Boat ran fine regardless I tried the boat in...

I have 2 8.1 496 engines. Low hours and 5 years old. I've asked this on a FB group but got a huge variety of possible causes but nothing concrete so I'm asking here just to cover it all. My boat runs perfect for 20 minutes at no wake zone. I get to the ocean and open it up to 2500-3500 rpms...

I have a 1995 Sundancer 370 and it has B&G equipment (probably oriignal). Gauge/display 1: gps network system Gauge/display 2: speed and depth Gauge/display 3: Auto Pilot Someone installed an aftermarket chart plotter which works fine on its own. I can turn on the system but only the network...

1995 sundancer 370 with 8.1 engines Had a mechanic replace all fuel lines. He wanted to start the engines but has not contacted me in 2 weeks despite my many texts and calls. So I went to the boat and started them. Both started fine and idled then starboard died. (yes fuel is on) I checked for...

I took off all 4 elbows from my 8.1 engines and I thought it all looked good. I only took a picture of the worst manifold. The other 3 were just all black. This one has a slight color to it as you see in the picture. I thought I was in the clear since they all looked good. Elbow welds looked...

I want to inspect my SS elbows and peek down the manifold (per my mechanics recommendation) this weekend. He said 9/10 times they send in the elbow to get stainless steel welded. Sounds good to me. Is stainless steel OEM for these engines? anyway.. For the manifolds....I may need to just bite...

I have 8.1L engines from 2015 with 150 hours. I think its time to check risers but I don't have the 6 inch risers on mine. Just the manifold to the exhaust elbow. See the link below, it looks like that. So in order to do all 4 I know I need 8 new gaskets but there's the metal ones called...

Yet another question for another issue on this boat I'm close to buying. (1995 370 sundancer) The survey showed a soft area around the windless. He said to put a big plate under it when bolting it back up instead of the small circular washers there now. I asked, well how serious is this? He...

During a haulout we discovered about 3 blisters on the bottom of the boat. They measured 2 to 3 inches so they need to be fixed. But the surveyor made a comment that this was very unusual for a SeaRay but just said it should be cleaned and epoxyed like no big deal. What do you guys think? this...

Interested in this boat and did a seatrial today. (1995 370 sundancer) Engines are 8.1 with just 150 hours but its not because they are new, they are just not used often. See the picture. Does anyone know what the green (corroded) part is in that background? Also, notice some of the rust. Is...

I've been searching for a diagram of where everything is on a 1995 370 Sundancer but having no luck. I'm looking for the layout for things like holding tank, batteries, bilge pumps, inverter, etc etc. Does such a thing exist? I had this layout /diagram with a maxum I owned and it was really...

Before I fully commit to a boat I'm in the process I'm buying I'm trying to tally up all of the things I will need to redo. One of them is replacing the old canvas. This picture isn't the boat but its how the canvas is on the boat. Any idea what it costs to replace this? The hardware is all...

Offer in on a 1995 370 sundancer I used to have a 1999 46' maxum with cummins and did all my own work on that. This searay has 8.1 Horizon gas engines that were put in about 10 years ago but only 150 hours. I like the fact it has low hours but then again it could be bad? I know the heat...
