Hello
I owned a 1988 300 weekender for about 10 years.sold it a couple years ago and currently in a 28 Albin.
Looking to get back to searay
Looked at a 1990 350 sundancer today with twin 7.4s rebuilt in 2015 with 200 hours on them
Boat looks really clean,cabin dry,no stains on headliner,no soft...
do compression test.you may have bad valves from the manifold leaking.get on this quick to save the engine.it may just need a valve job with new manifolds and risers
Hello,my old blue 3 bank charger has died.looks to be original to this 88 boat so got the moneys worth.whats everyone else replacing with?was looking the promariner 3 bank 20amp charger.my old charger says 40 amp.is that 40 amps for each bank or 40 banks total.just want to ensure I have enough...
i change oil and filters before final trip to ramp for haul,after on the hard pump out water tank,drain water heater and bypass.don't fill the water heater with antifreeze,it will be hard to get out and a waste of 5 gallons of antifreeze,just drain it.I then pump antifreeze through all the fresh...
looking for the harness for the older system.did a top engine rebuild this weekend,when I went to plug the module back in a couple of wires came out of the connector.looks like old age is getting the best of the pins.looked up online.there is the harness listed in the catalogs but is "no longer...
looking for a harness to the thunderbolt 4 ignition module for 1988 350 chevy.the harness goes from the distributor pickup to the coil and to the ignition module.I have the triangle module mounted to the riser.anyone have a junk motor or junk boat.harness not available through merc anymore...
Hello.looking for a machine shop to do my 5.7 heads.have one bad valve but with the age want a complete rebuild.im in Amityville long island ny.any good recommendation?
Be careful with the barnacle buster.while it fixed my running hot an older tranny cooler started leaking after it was clean.guess the crud was keeping it sealed.
close the seacocks to avoid any possible leakage while the hoses are off.I remove the carb studs,put old pillow on top of engine,lay long ways ontop of engine.drop arms down front of engine to take pump off engine.can do them pretty quick as I've do them every 2 years.i then replace the pump on...
not sure where you are.I'm in long island NY.have been thinking of downsizing from my 1988 30 weekender.has twin 350 CID small blocks.manifolds/risers replaced 2016,trans coolers replaced 2017.port rebuilt carb 2017.think hour meter around 650ish.its a clean reliable boat.really love the boat...
like other things in life,if you take care of it it will not fail.change anodes correctly when they are worn.change bellows at rec intervals.make sure to paint drive correctly.I/O is more maintenance.a friend of mine often says a twin I/O boat is like owning a boat with 4 engines.
I would step...
we have been looking at 23-25 deckboats.must say the Chapparal looks nicer then any other boat I have seen.looks like fit and finish is very good,and they are using top notch materials.if we decide to downsize it will be the Chapparal
I am running 17x15 on my 30 weekender.have current props repitched.my prop guy recommended switching as he said searay propped boats for testing and top speed with no weight in boat.can say boat is much better with the 15's.easiest and cheapest is repitch,think was like 250 total.
