I need to replace the rollers and tracks on my 395 sundancer as well. Would you let us all know how you accessed everything and if you had to get door out please as it would really be helpful to me and others who need to do this job. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks NorCalRobert, I was asking about the reversing valve as i have read that these can get stuck and sometimes need a tap to free them hence asking for its location. The aircon works fine but the heating blows out cold air. Bill, pardon my ignorance but solenoid operated spool valve you...

I have a Cruisair self contained unit on my Sundancer 395 located under the bed in the forward cabin. Does anybody know where the reversing valve would be on this unit as I have developed the same problem with cold air being blown out when in heat mode please.

If engines are running OK and Oil Pressure, Temperature, Coolant Levels are OK and Raw Water is flowing fine then it could be a sender unit that may need replacing. Look in your manual and it will give you a list of the areas that alarms will refer to (or at least mine does) and check each...

Hi Golfman I have a Searay 395 and my dash is also cracking up in the same way as yours. I think this is all down to heat and sunlight that was constantly on the dash when the boat was in the Mediterranean. I have spoken with a Gel Coat repair specialist at the marina and he has suggested a...

Just thought I would say thanks to everyone who helped. Have managed to get the Tacho issue resolved. My sensor is on the flywheel and not on the alternator as previously thought. Pulled the connector to the sensor and found it to be corroded, cleaned it all up, now nice and clean and working again.

Hi DB360, My BT battery is located just to the right of the bed and short of taking apart the AC ducting thought it would be easier to slide it out through the front as it needs changing for a new one.

Hi all does anybody know if the front panel at the foot of our bed in the state room is able to be pulled away for access to the air con and bow thruster battery or do we need to go in through the flip up panel under the mattress. I've tried to pull it but don't want to cause any damage to it in...

I have a marine electrician coming down to the boat on Tuesday to try and look into this problem. As a heads up can I ask if anyone knows if there should be a separate sender unit from the engine to the tach on the Yanmar engines ( 315 H.P LPA's Diesels) and where would I be able to look for...

Hi JVM225 I will try doing what Steve6043 said re tach and hopefully that will fix the problem. It's just weird that we have never had problems with this in the past and both tachs have behaved themselves prior to this. I will also look at checking the voltages at various points in case there...

Launched the boat this year, 360 Sundancer on Yanmar diesel engines, and noticed the starboard side rev counter reading a two hundred revs less than the port side. Engines seemed to be running at same speed. Been out on a few cruises and noticed the starboard side rev counter reading 400 revs...

Thanks hottoddie. I have spoken with the prop manufacturers and that's exactly what they have suggested. My mechanic has been over the engines and listened everywhere and he also feels it could be prop song. It's only coming from the port side. Bit annoying but have been given suggestions on...

I have always had good advice on hear so have another problem I have encountered which I hope someone will be able to help with. The boat is a Sea Ray 395 Sport Cruiser running on a diesel Yanmar engines with twin shafts. Last year all was running nicely. No unusual noises. This year I replaced...

gdavis 67, You are a star. That explains it. Switch is same and the there is also the same looking relay type thing in the engine bay. Many thanks to everyone that has replied.
