    Best type of prop puller

    I'm changing the 3-bladed props on my 2001 310 Sundancer to 4-bladed props before launching this season. The props are on order, so I've been looking at prop pullers. I've seen several different designs (Harmonic, C-clamp, scissor-style, something called a "Prop-knocker", and others) and I'm...

    Virus Link

    I don't know if you have any control over this, but today, a link saying "Continue" showed up at the bottom of the page where the ads or the reply box is normally displayed. I thought maybe there were changes in the way the site worked, so I clicked it to get to the next page. I immediately got...

    Changing to 4-bladed props (310 Sundancer)

    I have a 2001 310 Sundancer with twin horizon 357 inboards and V-drives. I'm considering replacing my 3-bladed 16 x 15 props for 4-bladed props to get better docking control. The local prop shop suggested 16 x 14 4-bladed props, but they seem extremely difficult to find with a 1.5" bore. I'm...

    Duplicate station on VHF - is there a way to delete it?

    I have no idea how this happened, but I ended up with two channel 21's on my ICOM 330 VHF. One channel 21 displays normally, the second one says "21" along with "DUP" in the upper right corner of the display. Does anyone know how to delete the duplicate channel 21? I looked through the manual...

    Uneven fuel consumption Port vs Starboard

    I have a 2001 310 Sundancer with twin 357 Mercruiser Horizons (replaced in 2016 and now have about 300hours on them) and V-Drive transmissions. I have been getting a huge disparity between the fuel consumption of the port and starboard engines. Both engines seem to run fine, although the...

    Can you confirm that your MMSI number?

    I bought a new radio. The radio that was in the boat when I bought it has an MMSI number, but I'd like to confirm that is it actually registered to my boat before plugging the number into the new radio. I'm concerned because at some point in the past, the previous owner had transferred some...

    Vibration when climbing waves

    I have a 2001 310 DA with twin 350 V-Drives. I'm getting a slight vibration at cruising speed when under the strain of climbing the back of a wave. The vibration subsides on the down side of each wave. It's fairly mild, and other people don't notice it until I point it out. But I can hear it and...

    Replacing throttle cable on V-drive

    I need to replace the throttle cable on the starboard engine of my 2001 310 DA (350 V-drive). I'm trying to determine the best way to disconnect the cable from the throttle handle assembly. There is a small U-bolt about 6" below the dashboard that holds the cable in place at the lower section...

    Inconsistent tension on starboard throttle

    I have a 2001 310 Sundancer with twin 350 Horizons and V-drives. While prepping the boat for launching today, I noticed that the starboard throttle was at about 1/2 speed. When I pulled the handle back to the idle position I noticed that there was virtually no tension on the handle when moving...

    VHS Radio intermittently switching to weather band

    I have a Lowrance Link-8 VHS radio. We generally leave it on channel 16 whenever we are on the water, because you never know who could be in trouble close to your location. Over our many years of boating, there have been a few occasions when we were the first to arrive at a scene and lend...

    Analog display for 2 kW Raytheon array

    I recently purchased a 2001 310 DA that had a Raytheon array, but no radar display. A friend of mine, who is an electronics technician checked out the array and said that it appears to be operating properly. From everything I can tell, this array was the original radar that was purchased with...

    Can seller just allow contract to expire?

    Let me apologize in advance for the length of this post. I tried to be brief, but I think that most of the details I included are important in order to completely understand the situation. Last fall, we sold our 260 Weekender and had been looking for an early 2000's 310 Sundancer without a lot...

    Mercruiser 357 Horizon re-manufactured engines - Any concerns?

    I'm looking at a 2001 310 Sundancer that was advertised as having 185 hours on the twin inboard engines, but in reviewing the details I discovered that the engines are 357 Horizons. Never having heard of a 357, I did some searching to discover that they are re-manufactured engines. I had some...
