The engines sounded the same, just the Tach's had different readings.

Was going around 12 knots, the engine indicator showed both engines equal, yet the starboard was about 1500 RPM higher than the port. The starboard RPM's lowered to the same as the port, then went up again. No adjustments were made to speed and indicator showed both engines still equal.

Had the manifolds and risers replaced, then I added fresh water flush out kits to the sea strainers.

I finally got my the manifolds and elbows replaced with Mercruiser and works perfectly, no more smoke. I was shown the old manifolds and elbows. The previous owner had used some orange sealant on them and covered the water galleries.

I was hearing a squeaking noise from the starboard side of the bilge when the transmission is in forward. I found that the noise was coming from the carbon (grounded) brush that rests on the shaft. I have zincs on the shafts, do I need the carbon brushes also?

Where is a good place to get new mattresses made for a Weekender? Have to replace the middle mattress, so I figure will replace all 3. Thanks

I found the power switch for the VHF, same one as the stereo, when I flipped it on nothing. I will add it to the punch list.

I removed the broken Standard Horizon radio. I left most of the wires, power (bottom of fuse holder) and the speaker and Chart plotter wires. Attached a new radio, no power. Checked the power chord and the line that is secured to the back of the helm and there was no current. The breaker...

Thanks alot, I wish that this was in the owners manual.

Thank you. One of the selling points of the boat was it came loaded with electronics (radar, GPS, Autopilot) and the previous owner kept pretty good care of it until his health faded. I have a punch list of items to repair however, I believe this will be a fun journey.

Just purchased a Weekender 300, my first boat. I have a couple of questions about this type of boat. Where would I find the circuit board the horn is inoperative and I want to check the fuse. When I start the boat do I move the battery switch from 1 & 2 to 1? Thanks for your help.
