Bravo 2, 1993 Searay Sundancer 290, 7.4l
I have purchased a stainless prop to replace the aluminum. Do I use the same thrust washer, locking ring, nut etc or do I need additional hardware?
Thanks guys!

My prop hub gave out and its a 21 inch aluminum. Never have hit anything with it and it looks good to me and the prop repair shop says it can be re-hubbed. The shop owner says he's not set up for the big bravo 2 props and recommended another shop...
What a beautiful day on the Tn river today. Unfortunately on the return leg about 2 miles form the slip, my fuel pump went out. At least that's what I thought until the mechanic looked at and said the water pump seal had blown out ( explained the oil mess) and the shaft must have broken that...
My OEM frige ( Norcold DE 251 ) finally died. I ordered the direct replacement DE751 and this thing vibrates more than the AC unit and Weterbeke generator combined. Norcold advised I could hire a Marine tech to take a look at my install... very nice of them. Or, I can take it to an approved...
I just finished the install of my new Norcold frige DE0751. This is the replacement for the factory DE251. I had to enlarge the cutout by about a 1/4" on each side and other than that the install was straight forward. The unit cools extremely well. I am getting an annoying hum through the kithen...
Viewing from behind facing the transom my Bravo 2 has a small fin on the sacrifice tab. The prop spins clockwise from this view and the boat wants to turn left, which way do I turn the fin to counter the prop torque?
Thanks,

My marina is in and out of fuel so I bought a 29 gallon fuel caddy. My problem is the caddy is gravity feed and my boat higher than the walk way at my slip. Has anyone come up with an electric fuel pump that I can modify? 12volts is readily available on my boat and the old hand crank pumps wont...
93 sundancer 290.
Fridge was working great and left on shore power. Guy was waxing the boat for me and unplugged the shore power and left it unplugged. I noticed and plugged back up, now the fridge just tries to start but doesn't... does this over and over every 10 seconds or so.
Where do I...
Took me awhile to get the pics due to bad weather here. I'm thinking if the survey goes well, including the sea trial, I can't go wrong with this boat and trailer. What do you think?
Thanks for your time!

I would like your opinion on the 1989 Regal Commodore 280 and the 1988 Chris Craft Amerosport 284.
The Regal books out (NADA) significantly higher than the Chris Craft. I'm familiar with the CC name but not the Regal. The significant differences in the two are:
Regal has Twin 350's (don't know...
I'd like to install a audible alarm on my boat that would warn me with a tone or beep when the water temp hits 200 degrees or so. Has anyone got any answers?<br />Thanks,<br />Nick Nichols
For those that are up grading to a Pertronix 12 volt coil to go with the Pertronix pointless inginition, I have figured out how to bypass the ballast resistor wire. Apparently there are 2 wires joined together via spade lug at the positive side of coil, mine are white and not so white in color...
I installed a Pertronix Ignitor to eliminate the points last week. Today I am installing the Pertronix matching coil. The problem is the directions for the coil say to eliminate the resistance wire from the coil. I have a resistance wire because I measure approx. 6 volts when grounding the...
Merc 350cid 260 h/p. Had new Gimbal bearing installed while I was waiting on my new SEI drive. While idling, loud "growl" can be heard and felt. As soon as I shift into fwd or rev. sound goes away.The mechanic said my "upper" was what he "thought" it was. I don't see how the upper would only...
I have 580 total hours on the boat. I have new AC MR43T plugs, new Pertronix ignition, rotor button, distributor cap, carb fuel filter, fuel water seperator. Boat cranks cold and runs fine. Choke does pull open and stay open at about 150 degrees ( quadrajet). After running at 3k rpm for about...
What would cause a loud whine in the rear of my boat while in neutral? I just installed a new complete upper and lower SEI drive with a new gimbal bearing. The whines seems to stop when I shift into gear.<br />Thanks,<br />Nick
Just for those that are asking for info. on these drives made by Sterndrive Engineering Inc. in Clearwter Fl. I finished my install of the complete Upper and Lower on my Merc.260hp yesterday. Put about 3 good hours on it today. Shifts well and looks great. Pressure test held 20psi for about 2...
I'm considering purchasing an after market upper and lower for my 260 horse mercruiser. The units are on ebay for 1195.00 shipped with full one year warranty. The cases and parts are SEI, all american. Anyone have any experience with these?<br />Nick
