I had a bad impeller in my generator. Replaced it, and couldn't get it to run. Found a small fish in the through hull fitting. That's probably what ruined the first impeller. I pulled the strainer, and couldn't get any water to come in when I opened the valve. Probed with a screwdriver, and...
I have Skyhook on my '08. Only Axius on Old Hickory Lake, near Nashville. I really don't use it, but it came with the original deal. I wasn't offered any cash back. It would come in handy going through our lock, but I haven't done that yet. It does come with a beeping alarm, like the backup...
I have a 2008 310 DA with Axius. I frequently have CO alarm problems in the cabin, with the door closed. I did suffer two exhaust gasket leaks since I bought the boat, and thought that might be the problem, but the problem persists. Anyone else have this issue? Once it went off while on...
A mechanic that worked on my boat used another trick. He cut out the bottom of the gasket bolt hole so that he could stick one bolt through the gasket on one end, and then swing the gasket down onto the second bolt. It should have worked, but he didn't get it down quite far enough, and after a...
Well, now that's a little different. Can they tell you the distance between the poles? I would guess it's more than 24'. Probably 26', or 28'. So the size of your neighbor's boat will make a difference, but if they are saying it will accomodate 12' beam boats, yours should work fine.
Do you think it is really 12'? My 12' slip is only 11'9" because it has column bumpers and rub rails. I have an '08 310, with 10'6" beam, and I have to tie it pretty tight to keep it from hitting the roof columns due to wind and waves. I also have Axius, so docking is easier. Getting 11'2"...
Car magazines have been doing some tests, and brakes can stop a runaway car, so I think there is a panic factor involved. Also, the Toyota push button doesn't stop the engine unless it is held for over 3 seconds. That is to prevent accidental shutdowns. If you panic, and just push the button...
The generator on my '08 310 Sundancer quit running and gave me a code 62 ERR. No water was coming out of the exhaust when I restarted it, and it promptly shut down again, with the same code. I checked the pump impeller, and two of the vanes had broken off and become lodged in the discharge...
A man at work was heard trying to find a door for a Ford pickup truck from a wrecking yard. His fellow workers reminded him he had a Chevrolet. He said the door was for his neighbor's truck. Our guy had started to pull out of his driveway with the trailer jack on his boat trailer still down...
The Nashville Boat Show has an '09 350 with Axius, MSRP $440,417, show price $299,900. Also, an '09 310 with Axius, MSRP $300,515, show price $199,900.
The cabin CO alarm on my '08 310 has gone off enough times that I began to doubt its capabilities. I bought a battery CO monitor from Lowe's to use as a backup. Today I let the engines idle in the slip for a while, with the cabin door closed, and the canvas all up. After a few minutes, the...
I have added to the starboard outdrive all summer, but none to the port outdrive. Total added is about one quart over 30 hours of use. No oil in the bilge, and no oil in the slip, so it must just leak while under way. The mechanic pulled the outdrive and did a pressure check, but no leak was...
