I am looking for some advise regarding recomended service on our new to us
2007 320 sundancer. 219 hours. Bravo 111. We just purchased the boat this winter. It was surveyed and sea trialed. No major issues. A technician at the marina where we will slip this boat recomended that we do a complete p.m. Replace all bellows, seals, gimbal bearing, water intakes, shifting cables, trim switches and impellers.
What are your thoughts on this list being a bit to agressive? I agree with all the seals, bellows, impellers but I am a bit skeptable on the shifting cables as there is no report of shifting issues. Also, the gimbal bearing, yes, inspect and check alignment, but just to replace for the sake of replacing has got me wondering. 219 hours just seems light to me to warrent replacement of many of these items. Thoughts?
Thanks, Mike
