Thanks for all the replies.I'll try the heat gun, then if that doesn't work, get a replacement from Great Lakes or somewhere similar. Have a great weekend, and if any of you are in Florida - stay safe!!

Thanks Cliff. I'm not sure what you mean by a heat gun... would a hair dryer work?

Hi All, I have a 2007 Sea Ray 280 that I'm looking to sell. However, the Isinglass is very cloudy, to point where you can barely see through it. The broker says it will really depress the value and I should consider replacing it. The canvas itself is in decent shape, so I really don't want to...

Thanks all - sounds like everyone keeps the covers on like I do. I hadn't thought of taking the carpets in as an alternative... I'll have to try that.

I use my boat mostly on weekends. On Sunday, I check the forecast for the coming week, and if there's any rain predicted, I put on the side canvases to protect the interior (which is kind of a pain). I always leave the bimini top on. I notice that many similar boats in my marina don't put on...

Ummm.... Secret compartment? Where is that?

I bought the boat used - it's a 2007 and didn't get any of the manuals from the seller. Wish I had...

Thanks my Dog House. Actually I already have that manual, which brings up a minor annoyance of mine. For example, when looking up the head system on page 19, it says, "The head system on you Sea Ray is equipped with a Vacu-Flush head with holding tank. Carefully read the sections in your...

Success! When I read Bucit's advice about the key position, I'm thinking, "Key.. what key?" So I looked *closely* at the panel and sure enough, I saw the key hole. So I looked around the stuff I got with my (used) boat, and sure enough, there was a key I hadn't previously noticed. I put it...

Thanks, I'll look for it tonight.

Can you tell me *exactly* where the "readout" is? That's what I'm looking for.

A belated thanks - just saw this. Didn't realize there was a separate email notifications check-off box I needed to check off.

Hopefully this is a simple answer. I recently bought a 2007 280 Sun Dancer so don't have the original docs. One of the things I can't figure out is how to know when the holding tank is full and needs to be pumped out? I've looked everywhere for some sort of gauge but can't find one. The...

Thank You, very helpful.

Thanks, but the only thing I see there is the pull-down for the years. Can you be more specific or give me a link? (I tried to add a screen shot but the "Insert image" feature doesn't seem to be working.)
