    Bad start to the season

    Was having a trim problem on the STBD side so I had the marina take a look. Turns out the transom assembly is cracked on the STBD side. They noticed the Bravo 3 sticker on the PORT side was bubbled. Pulled it off and found the assembly corroded all the way through. Both engines have to be...

    300SE Leak Problem

    Not a leak below the water line thankfully, but water getting into the cabin during rain. We are lucky to be in North Florida and had 70 deg F temps this weekend. We spent the weekend on the boat, but woke up Sunday to a Thunderstorm. We were sleeping in the mid-birth and noticed water coming...

    2 engines, GEN set, 3 batteries, 3 switches

    I have a 1999 Doral with twin MERC 5.7 and a GENSET. I don't have schematics for the boat and want do some rewiring. I have a PORT, STBD and House battery with a switch for each. There is a battery isolator installed, but it is only attached to STBD engine and the PORT battery is not attached...

    300SE Maual?

    Anyone have a source for a manual for a 1999 300SE? I am mostly just interested in the electrical schematics. I have the manual for the 2002-2004 330SE which will help, but trying to find some specifics for our exact boat.

    Mercruiser 5.7 with Bravo three having problems going into gear

    When advancing the throttle forward it will not go into gear until I hit about 1500 RPM. Every now and then it doesn't go into gear at all and I have to come back to neutral. No issues in reverse. Any suggestions for what to look at would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Strange engine starting problem.

    1999 Doral 300 with twin Merc 5.7 Bravo 3 and Kohler 6kw generator. If we run the generator for a couple of hours the engine compartment gets hot and the STBD engine will not start. Turn the key and get nothing. Engine acts like the throttle is not in neutral. PORT engine starts fine...

    300SE Wiring Diagram

    Anyone have an idea where I can get the electrical/wiring diagram for a 1999 300SE? We have a couple of things that just don't make sense to us. 1) Even with all three battery switches in the off position, the AM/FM radio still gets power. Although it is just a small draw for the memory...

    On an Island: Southern Doral Owner

    Re: On an Island: Southern Doral Owner Ahh, great to be a Southern Doral owner. Spent the weekend out scalloping. Nice 88F water even in late September. Wife and I had a great time and now have a freezer full of Bay Scallops.

    Need more chatter in here people!

    Re: Need more chatter in here people! A couple of photos of a quick upgrade we did on our 300SE. First photo is of the mirror, which doubles as access to the back of the helm electrical. We removed the mirror and added a very light weight LED TV. TV is mounted on a low profile, quick release...

    Battery Isloator Question

    Question about Battery Isloators. Below is a photo of the isolator. No branding on it, but it looks like it is designed for 2 alternators w/regulator feedback and three batteries. The strange part is as you can see only a single alternator is hooked up driving two batteries with no...

    Stern Anchor Suggestions

    Since we are moving up from our 20' center console to our 30' Doral we are looking for ideas as to what people use for their stern anchors. In our case we will be backing up to the beach at an island in about 4 feet of water. We are on the lee side so there are no waves, just typically a 5-10...

    Bad Alternator?

    Re: Bad Alternator? So went over to the boat at lunch since this is bugging me. Below is a photo of the isolator. No branding on it, but it looks like it is designed for 2 alternators w/regulator feedback and three batteries. This matches what is in my DORAL manual. The strange part is as you...

    Bad Alternator?

    We have been out just a couple of times so far in our 1999 300SE. Running both refrigerators and an AM/FM radio we only get a couple of hours before we get a low battery warning and have to fire up the generator. I have noticed since we go the boat that the STBD voltage is lower than PORT when...
