Hi Guys. Thank you for the information. I guess I will just carry some jerry cans on board. I don't use the storage below the cushions on the V-Birth and have some cans at work that seal up which are heavy duty industrial and do not vent but the outboard ones with t fittings sound much better...

Hi all. I want to fish offshore a bit... not too terribly far but 25 miles would be good and only having 100 gallons makes me nervous..... I know estimating poor fuel economy of even 1.5 gallons per mile would be just on the outside edge of the 1/3 rule but like to bottom fish and run...

Okay, spent the last couple hours trying to get to the starter. Got the shroud bolts loose but can't get shroud out of the way. No clearance. Is there anyone out there with a 1996 270 Sundancer with the kohler generator installed who has done the starter replacement? They left so very...

Had the same problem with mine. That is THE spot they like to die and what a pain in the butt too when replacing. For mine, I created a custom made plug from silicone, ran new wires through and sealed it off with my new plug around the wires. Then was able to reuse the perfectly good trim...

Black residue Hello. It has been my experience with most boats I have owned with a swim platform either diesel or gas of black streaking occurring above the outdrives. This has usually been because of the exhaust fumes. I have used a good quality boat hull cleaner from any westmarine or...

High all. Running a 1996 270 Sundancer with 7.4l BravoII setup. Got a quick question. Can anyone give me an idea of typical fuel consumption either in gallons per hour at cruise (my boat cruises just on plane at about 21 knots at 3200 rpm) or in miles per gallon? I believe my boat is eating...
