I have non-Ho 496's in my 34PC and on a long trip last two weeks I had the port engine stall out upon cold startup. After trying a few times if I rapidly gave it throttle upon firing and held the RPM at 1200-1400 until it warmed up it then behaved like normal. Any ideas? Idle air control motor...

I don't think I have seen one posted here before so excuse the repetition if it has. I thought I'd share my install with a few pics and what to know ahead of time if you are considering one. They say one day to install, more like two. You'll want to double and triple-check measurements before...

Does anyone use a plow style with the roller system on a 2001 34PC? My concern is the shank as it widens (or deepens vertically) towards the fluke. I am so done with my Danforth.

Here is a pic of the Whale Gulper and larger shower box installed. It just fits!

*UPDATED* I made the deal and we agreed on a discount to reflect the repair. Here she is loaded up for the trip from Lake Erie to Lake Huron

I found a 34PC so mine is up for sale. Freshwater boat with 800 hrs. Power is twin 5.7 Mercruisers with Bravo III drives. Well taken care of by previous and current owner. Shore power, power windlass, Climate control air/heat, microwave, flatscreen, DVD player, fridge, single burner stove...

Hi Folks I'm looking to move up from my 27PC and have come across a freshwater 34PC with closed cooling. What is the life expectancy of manifolds/risers on a freshwater boat? It has never seen saltwater. 496 MAGS with 355 hours. Another question: What is the going rate for these? Prices seem to...

This boat has come up for sale locally and it has 7.4 Mercs BIII. I thought I would post in this section to see what experience anyone has had with what is a reasonable amount of hours to expect for 7.4 Mercs in a PC assuming freshwater use before it would need to be repowered. I know there are...

I had the arch removed so they can repair it properly (loose exterior bezel flapping around) and my mechanic sent me a few pics to see if I thought it looked better without. I'm up in the air; the rearward-facing arch looks a little dated these days but then I have to figure out where best to...

I plan on heading to the local boat show tomorrow to hopefully pick up a BBQ for this season to mount on the rear horizontal grab rail above the swim platform. I just can't remember what the diameter of the rail is. One inch? 7/8 inch? If anybody knows offhand it would be appreciated. 1998 model...

Thought I would relay some feedback after a few weekends out with this unit. My 1998 27PC did not come with a generator so I finally decided to spring for a portable. At 1000 watts it won't run the microwave or a hair dryer (sorry Admiral) but it will run a coffee maker, toaster and Norcold...

I'm a little stumped by this one. Best I can come up with is that my camper top is so worn out that rain will leak into cockpit and run along floor and water of course finds the lowest point of escape which seems to be starboard side right behind helm seat resulting in a water stain on aft cabin...

Will the hot water heater work on dock side city water or does it only draw from the onboard tank?

This will be the second full summer with the boat however so far we haven't been using the shower/sinks etc because I have been a little put off by all the shower sump stories. As I get more familiar with this boat I'm looking at using the water now. For fill I see a pressurized water fill...

So my question is (hypothetically speaking of course LOL) should I choose to move up will I see enough additional space on a 31 or have some of you been there/done that and would go straight to a 34? I stay on the boat for weekends and we would love to have guests however the one time this...
