Hi,
Looking at purchasing 1999 340DA with 7.4's and V drives. A few questions to start:
I have heard about a design flaw in the exhaust that needs to be addressed... does this apply to this vintage? These engines have approx. 1000hrs with new risers and manifolds.
What do I need to be looking for wrt maintenance on these engines at 1000 hrs (the proverbial 1000hr tune-up)?
Any specific, common problems I need to be aware of... water intrusion issues, part failures, etc.?
The boat appears to have lived a good life to this point. She has had a steady diet of salt water however.
