I need another transducer - suggestions please?
My 2000 2800scr lost its transducer - broke-off because something impacted it. The wire is just dangling there. It was hooked to the factory gauge on the helm and worked fine. My understanding is...

Impressive response (graph and all) - thank you kindly! Here in Southern Ontario, I just payed $2.60 per litre of gas. My tank holds 380 litres (about 100 US gallons). That’s just short of $1000 for...

Thanks yahoo82,
It seems that the 454 (7.4mpi) is plenty big enough of an engine. It’s a stock bravo 3 prop and like I said, it comes up on plane without much effort. I wonder though if maintaining...

Planing my 2000 2800scr
Got a question for someone out there:
On a full tank of gas and load for bear, my single engine 28’ 7.4 mpi comes up on plane no problem. Normally, I keep the tabs all the way down along with the...

No IAC filter for this model (2000 7.4 mpi)
Thanks for the suggestion but put a new IAC sensor - and it appears that it needed one (old one was stuck open).
Taking a closer look at the ignition wires, the ohms of resistance are a little high...

The manual is rather vague
I’m now down to the MAP sensor and or TPS.
It’s almost worth investing in electronic diagnostic tools - that my marina mechanic does not have either.

Hard starting 7.4 mpi - any suggestions please?
Hello,
It’s in a 2000 2800 Maxum Bravo 3 with a single 7.4 (454) mpi
De-winterized start was difficult. Seemed to run okay in the fall - but had to crank more than I thought was necessary.
After a...

Thanks again Shrew
Good winter/spring project (cable batteries from port to starboard). The list has been bugging me since purchasing the boat in 2018. It was amplified when I added the extra house battery - those 27’s...

20 gallons per hour
The 2800scr uses about 20 gals per hour closer to 4000 rpm. Maybe 18 at 3700 - 3800rpm. Calculating mileage is an art in itself. The gas gauge on the boat, I believe, is meant to be read while under...

Sound advise
I do use the 1/3 rule. My chart plotter also calculates fuel burned - so between manual calculations, the plotter and gas gauge, I have a pretty good idea.
Unfortunately, the 2800scr has only a 100...

I think that the engineers intended the gas gauge to be read while underway - for practical reasons. I found that at my slip, the gauge read 1/4 when there is actually about 1/2 tank...

Got a question to you learned Maxum veterans. On plane my gas gas seems to read more accurately than sitting at the slip (which happens to read lower fuel).
Did the Maxum engineers, decide...
