Re: Repower

Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. I feel as though I am caught between many rocks and hard places with this repower The technicians at the marina would prefer just swapping out complete engines and not rebuilding the engines. I believe they have little experience with these old engin...

Repower

Would it be possible to replace my failing 318s with GM 350s? Does it matter if they're short or long blocks?

Thanks

1974 30' Searaider 318's rotation question

I am in the process of purchasing rebuilt engines for my boat, but am slightly confused about what to order. I found a reverse rotation engine and am looking for a std rotation engine. The site describes them as either LH or RH rotation, not std and reverse. Is the reverse rotation engine the port e...

Re: LM 318

I did find a complete remanufactured LM 318 reverse rotation for $5900.00. I cannot find a std rotation. I did find long blocks with heads for $1700.
I was hoping to eliminate any variables by purchasing complete engines. Unsure what to do. Suggestions?

Thanks

Re: Engines Quit When Warm

I had the same problem with same engines. After much anguish and new parts, it turned out to be low compression causing plugs to fail. We decided to repower. You can get long blocks for $1500 to$2000.00 each with a two year warranty. The boat is on stands due the stalling problem and Covid. Repower ...

Re: EZE-RV Guttter to Stop window leaks

Let me know if it works. We had a long hard day of rain in Vermont and the boat was completely dry inside. I did attach a short section ( sorry no picture) along the window line at the end of cabin pitching forward to catch the water dripping from the hull onto the wheelhouse deck. Worked great. Fin...

EZE-RV Guttter to Stop window leaks

I have a 1974 F30 SeaRaider. This year is my first full season and we are working out some quirks. One issue was leaky salon and v berth windows as well as water leaking around the Bimini cover. The previous owner did a wonderful job rebuilding the boat but from the amount of caulking around the win...
