During the sea trial this spring, it was found that a motor mount for the starboard engine was loose. It appears as though the pedestal is made from a pressure treated 2x4 under several coats of fiberglass. The engine is secured to it and the hull using lag bolts. Is it possible it could have...
Last season we had problems keeping the generator running, getting error 62 LOC. I found debre in the strainer for the fresh water inlet a few times which after cleaning it, it temporarily cleared the fault. I asked the yard to look at it during commissiong this season, they found the coolant...
The display on my 2009 310 has lost it's seal so I am getting condensation under the display window. Does anyone know if these are repairable or do I need to replace the entire unit?
The fuel in our 310 sat for about a month following hurricaneIrene and when I finally was able to take the boat out, I noticed that the portside engine sputtered a few times - and stalled once. I think it could be aresult of the gas but could also be either a fowled plug or clogged gas...
The arch mount on both the Port and Starboard sides is toeing in, almost link it is shrinking. I have sent photos to the dealer for his review with Searay.
Is this something others have seen? I would estimate each side has shifted inward by .5" or more. The silicone seal has cracked free of...
I have noticed a significant loss of pressure in the fresh water system. It like its not getting enough air to build pressure. Is there relief valve some type?
2009 310 Sundancer
Last fall I pretty much drained my tanks as requested by the yard prior to storage. Now i'm wondering if the small amount of remaining gas picked up any condensation and should I used a can of stabilizer when I fill up the tanks after she goes in the water?
Can it do any harm?
Can anyone tell me what a yard would likely charge to change the oil and filters on a 2009 310 with 350 Merc's - V-Drive? Also, how difficult is this process and can a novice do it?
I have a 2009 310DA with twin 350's, the new DTS transmission/throttle and Smartcraft. This weekend after running several hours, the Smartcraft would display an alarm and shut down both engines to idle speed. This only happened if I run at above 4500 RPM. At lower RPM, it seemed to run fine. Eng...
Has anyone ever had trouble with the DTS command module getting corrupted and losing it ability to change from neutral to forward or reverse? I have a new 2009 310 that had to be re-programmed because of this problem. The deal said they never saw this before.
I am considering trading up to a 310 with Mercruiser Twin-VD-350 MAG MPI HORIZON DTS (fresh water cooled engines & digital controls) propulsion system.
How tricky is the trim with a V Drive and is the loss of top end speedonly 8 mph? Are there any other trade offs? I had my fair share of...
Is replacing the bilge pump something a novice should attempt or should I leave this for the yard? I have problems with both the head bilge and enginer compartment bilge and would like to replace both of them for piece of mind.
I had to scrape a bunch of corrossion off my out drive (06 240DA) and therefore primed and repainted it. Two questions:
Is it necessary to wait a week to apply the second coat of Mercruser Fanton Black paint like the can says?
How long after painting before I can get the boat in the water?
