I thought the same until I spoke with a Mercruiser rep today about an issue. He thinks they are in the log. I'm running a scope in the exhaust this weekend. We will find out what's in the mysterious log.

Does anyone happen to know where /if the 2000, Sea Ray 380 Aft Cabin , 7.4 MPI muffler flaps are located? Has anyone ever had an issue with them being stuck? I think this design may have been used on other models as well.

At idle, the port side underwater port is belching air and water out of it. This is a recent event. I was hoping someone was familiar with the interior of the "muffler" and could give insight before I pull the above water port hose.

2000, 380 Aft

Port engine has excessive exhaust coming from the underwater port. The above water port seems normal. New water pump, nothing in the above water port hole. Any ideas?

Did you ever figure this out? I need to do the same. I think I have a way if you haven't figured out something easy.

One was changed when the shaft was pulled to change the transmission but the was changed using a pull/install tool with the shaft in place and believe it or not, it wasn't that difficult.

840 and 852

Just a quick note to share a learning regarding cutlass bearings on my 2000, 380, Aft Cabin. After hitting something underwater and having to replace the starboard transmission and shaft, I decided to replace both cutlass bearings since the one shaft was already out. Neither of the bearings...

Just an idea for mounting a 38" TV in my 380AC. Would probably work for other models. Still plenty of room in the hanging cabinet.

A few more pics

I looks like the enclosed wood section at the top of the hull was not really enclosed or encapsulated. Luckily, the glass around the wood is pretty thick so I ground it out with a wire wheel. I'll fill it with epoxy resin mixed with silica the glass the joint. The 2 screws in the pics were just...

Yep! The gap in your looks much better than mine. The top of those "blocks" on mine were cut off, exposing the wood inside. The screws protruded through the top of that area at about 1/4" or so. What's weird is the factory original Grey paint was coated on top. Who knows, maybe they had a...

2000, 380 Aft Cabin

Pics coming this weekend. Yes, if you remove the kick plate next to the aft vanity, you can slide in and look above where the hose and wires run across the transom. You can see the joint and the end of the screws. Just notice how close to the edge of the joint they are. Aldo, stick your finger...

Its obvious that it originated at SR as I doubt the deck was removed from the hull, holes filled in flawlessly and reassembled with screw holes only mating up 1/4" of joint "lip". Obviously it held for 23 years but it was not installed correctly when the sections were put together. I am the 4th...

Two weekends ago while making a trip across Mobile Bay, I heard what sounded like screws being pulled out of a plastic hole only to stop and find the hull to deck joint being pulled apart for most of the width of the swim platform. I did have a small dinghy and motor on davits on the platform so...

Aren't the 370 AC and 380 AC the same boat? Maybe change the name to include both so that the search brings it up. I found a structural integrity issue that may be of interest to many if not most 370/380 owners.
