Finally got the volvo outdrive into the garage. Will more than likely go through it in the fall. The search continues for a shop to fix my leaky bravo II
Well I did pressure test today and it failed. Went to 10 PSI and lost 1 PSI every 10 min. Found some air coming out around the prop shaft with the help of some soapy water. With the yoke seal leaking and now the lower unit leaking I am trying figure out if I can tackle this job. Looks like a...
Well I got the drive off the the boat. One thing I immediately noticed was there was a good amount of drive oil in the U joint bellow...doest seem good.....
Took a look at the drive surface area around the u-joint and noticed the seals seemed bad.. I can take more pics.
Is there a...
Well last night I went out to start the process of pulling the drive since I need to take the lower unit to a shop for a skeg repair. The prop nut seemed to be stuck so I threw some 50/50 acetone/atf together and finally got it off. I noticed that the speedometer tube was detached and seemed to...
Not too much going on with the boat lately as its 100 degrees and humid down in Texas but I did manage to order a few things that I'll need sooner than later. I also did a test area on the boat to see what kind of shine I could get out of it.
I ordered a new starting battery and went with...
Hello all
I decided to take on a project thats a bit larger than my previous 23 foot SunRunner that I restored and have owned for the past 8 years or so. I always browse facebook marketplace and craigslist and stumbled upon this listing for a Doral Monticello that caught my eye. The price was...
So I happen to come across a Doral Monticello 270 for sale. It was listed for 16k and it looked interesting so I decided to run up and take a look. Heres the run down of the findings

Glad to see this Sunrunner hit the water again. I dont see many at all in seaworthy shape anymore, let alone be clean. I love the swim platform. Mine came with a soaked/rotted fiberglass one. Luckily supports were good and i put trex decking on it. Also thanks for the info with...
I'll try the short version as best as possible...
Couple of weeks ago i launched the boat. put the drive down (worked fine) then noticed when i released the switch the motor was still running as if it was still putting the drive down even though it was completely down. I put the boat in reverse...
I've been having light issues with my load rite trailer so i got frustrated and just yanked the harness today. I fished the new wires through and began to mount up the amber side marker lights...
From what i understand i just splice into the brown wire from the harness.. i open the package and...
I tow a 23 foot Sunrunner cuddy cabin weighing in around 7000 lbs. The other day after launching I noticed grease on the inside of the wheels of the rear axle.
Towed home slowly, didnt notice anything apart from the norm. Maybe it was just me but i feel like the rear tires are a little more...
Recently acquired a sunrunner 235 weekender and it needs batteries. I referenced the engine manual and didn't see any guidelines as to what size to get. Would something along the lines of a 575 cold cranking amps be sufficient? Any help would be appreciated as I am tryin to fire it up this...
