Re: Water leak and lines help needed

I had both problems on my 2700 at one time or another. SeaPuppy is correct that you should push on the water connectors to make sure they are snapped tight. On mine, one of the transom showed...

Re: Engine Alarm

My mechanic, who is excellent, says 9 times out of 10 it is the IAC motor when you get the intermittent alarm.

Replacing Throttle Control

My 2003 Maxum 2700 has a Merc/Quicksilver "Commander 3000" throttle control. Last summer it got stuck in neutral (throttle only). I took it apart and put it back together and it worked fine until...

Re: Parts

If it is a Danforth compass, contact them directly. They will replace it at a steep discount and then you wont have to drill new holes.

Re: Water in engine bay

On my 2700 SCR, there is at least 1 drain that empties into the bilge (under a bench seat where a cooler goes) and I find that rainwater accumulates in there as well. I always have a small amount of...

Re: Im looking at a MAXUM 3100SE WHATS IT WORTH ??

Wow, I wish I had waited 18 months to buy my boat. $60K sounds like a steal if the boat is in good condition.

Re: Boat name...Where?

When I was shopping for my 2700 I saw one online with the name on the transom locker door. I thought I would put a name there (if I ever got around to it) and assumed it would stick based on that...

Engine is distracted by bikini? :P

Sorry, no ideas from me. But anyone whose first post involves bikini pics is OK in my book. I am sure someone will jump in with something helpful.

Re: 1st boat, what should I put on the shopping list ?

The dealer should provide a coast guard safety package, which will include flares, throwable, etc. They should also provide dock lines, anchor, etc. In other words, the dealer should give you all...

Re: New Boat defects

All new boats have bugs. BUT, I would be a bit concerned about the hull leak. If water is pouring into the engine compartment you must have a big gap. I am not sure I would be satisfied with a...

Re: Feeling pretty good, and... nervous

Oh, and for kids it is good to have some boat-specific toys that they play with just on the boat. Keeps it special and the have something to do when they get bored, which they will.

Re: Feeling pretty good, and... nervous

Don't go any faster than your kids want to go. I went too fast once and now my three year old is afraid of going even a little fast, so we have been cruising around 2000 rpms (i.e., very slow). I...

Check the outdrive serial number against what is recorded on the flame arrestor on the motor. That should tell you whether the drive was replaced. As reported previously here, my drive was...

Re: Windows that won't stay open

I believe my windows are the same style. I was able to tighten by tightening the screws on the ends of the hinges. Is that what you tried? Just don't tighten too much.

Re: No more power...?

My guess is distributor cap. Merc uses one with aluminum points to save money and they corrode. Replacement will have brass points. To test that theory you can clean the points and try running.
