Good Day All, I have a 1999 310 with 5.7 Mercs and 1 1/2 inch prop shafts. I'm looking to find out the length of my stern tubes but have not had much luck. I can't get to the boat right now to look so I was wondering if anyone knows that information off the top of their heads or documented...

Good Day All, Hope everyone is having a much better day than I am. I won't bore you with the stupidity of the details that got me into this situation but I find myself needing a Control Valve for my Velvet Drive 5000V transmission, model 20-02-003. I've began the search online but...

Good Day All, While my engines are off, the needle on one of my voltmeters is not resting on its pin but rather pointing right at the number 10 on the gauge face. Does anyone have a trick to reset the needle or should I just get a new gauge? I've already looked at the back of the gauge and...

I'm curious if anyone has re-bedded their hatches using butyl tape. I found a thread from 4 years ago where a CSR member had just re-bed his with butyl and he commented "so far so good". Wondering if anyone else has given it a shot and whether or not you recommend it?

Good Day All, I'm trying to figure out how to remove a small wall in the v-berth closet of my 1999 310DA. The closet is located at the base of the v-berth bed on the starboard side. The specific wall I'm referring to starts at about 3/4 of the way up the back wall and angles in at about 45...

Good Day All, I had a strange issue over the weekend that I'm trying to troubleshoot. I have a '99 310DA with 350 MAG/5.7L MPI engines with V-Drives. I ran beautifully for a couple of hours this weekend until I was heading into home port and came off plane. Approx. 5 minutes after coming...

Good Day All - I'd like to invest in a prop puller during the layup season and recently started researching them. I have v-drives on my '99 310DA with 3-blade 16x15 props and the shafts are 1 1/2". I came across a few different types of pullers but not sure which is best suited for my...

Good Day All, I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving. I seem to have a DC circuit problem with my Westerbeke 4.5 KW BCGTC generator. The 250V/8 amp fuse that protects the DC circuit keeps popping when I try to start the generator. The original fuse was a Bussman MTH-8 but I'm having...

Hi All, I have a buddy with a 260 Bayliner (I think it is '01). He heard a clattering noise this past weekend coming from his engine. He had his mechanic look at it and the diagnosis is a 'thrown rod'. His mechanic is saying this can only be fixed by replacing the engine. Is this true...

I'm interested in hearing from anyone who had this problem and fixed it but specifically any '99 310 owners. When I plug my satellite TV into the transom hook-up, I don't get any signal to the TV. If I bring the cable into the cabin and hook into the TV outlet behind the dinette, it works...

Good Day All, Has anyone ever replaced the exhaust manifold gasket on a 4.3 Westerbeke genset? Mine needs to be replaced and I was just wondering if it's a DIY project or is it best left to the professionals? It looks like a labor intensive job. My boat is powered with twin 5.7 MAGs with...

Good Day All, Forgive my ignorance on this topic but is it a fair statement to say that the impeller on most outboards is located in the lower unit? I have a 3.3 Mercury 2 stroke for my dinghy that's not pushing water so I'd like to check the impeller. I've misplaced the manual so before I...
