I just took the Sundancer out for her first run of the year.
I bought it late last year and have never had an inboard before.

I was running at about...
Hello, looking to purchase a 2000 SR 270 Dancer with 7.4L MPI.
There are no accurate records of when the last time the risers / manifolds were replaced.
The boat is in fresh water and has 397 hours.

Hi,
I have a sea ray sundancer 290 - 1996.
Last year my engine, Mercruiser Bravo-II, MCM 454 7.4l gave up and I am now looking at replacing it.
I managed to find a Mercruiser MIE 454 Magnum MPI 7.4l (385 hp) that was recently renovated/serviced at a good price.

Hi there

When i start her up(cold) she starts very fine but immediately she goes up to about 1800/1900 RPM.
When she reaches running temperature, 160 deg she will then drop to about 1000 RPM and then drop...
I purchased a '96 270 Sundancer a few weeks ago and it has a 7.4L motor in it with low hours (about 300 original hours). I'm curious to hear your feedback on these two questions:
(a) What is the "proper" start-up procedure for a big ol' carbureted V8 with electronic ignition?
(b) How long...
