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: 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...

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...

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.

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.
