    High water pressure: both engines

    Batteries are a couple years old. Usually on a battery charger/shoreline. But the charger breaker got turned off and it sat that way for around a month, so there definitely was lower voltage than normal. But I’m surprised that after shutting down, charging and restarting it still showed high...

    High water pressure: both engines

    Just had my 320 Sundancer pulled out and serviced. Took it for a cruise and immediately noticed high water pressure- reading in the high 30’s. Shut it down, jumped in and checed intakes and found nothin out of ordinary. Brought it back monitoring temps, and never saw anything out of normal...

    Port engine wouldnt start after fueling

    After putting another 100 gallons thru her, I think it really was flooding due to over working the control stick. Took her out and had lunch up the coast; had to dock in a very tight spot. But I was much smoother with the stick and noticed a huge difference in engine response. I pulled a...

    Port engine wouldnt start after fueling

    It was trying to start. Which goes along with the flooded motor theory. I should mention they told me to clear a flooded mercury motor, fully engage throttle- all the way- and crank the motor. The fully engaged throttle puts it into a clear flooded motor mode. Crank it 2 or 3 times and...

    Port engine wouldnt start after fueling

    Had people working on it since original post. Both motors started the next morning, but then only the port would restart ( opposite of the night before ), Even had Mercury on call while computers were hooked up and transmitting engine data. Every thing is running good now. The only thing we...

    Port engine wouldnt start after fueling

    I headed to the fuel dock to top off before heading out ( 100 gallons ). Boat ran fine out of slip to the fuel dock, but after fueling, the port engine failed to start; starboard engine ran fine and took me back to slip with no problems. It has to be fuel related, but hard to believe that it...

    Yes It was super easy to overlay radar onto gps charts and it works really well. Preset settings for offshore and harbor are all I’ve used so far, but very happy with it

    Official 320 Dancer Thread

    Hi Brando, We are super happy with it. We basically day trip back and fourth between our home harbor in Dana Point and 20 miles up to Newport beach. There are a ton of restaurants up in Newport, so its a nice cruise. We haven't slept on it yet, so no review on that side. But for day trips...

    Official 320 Dancer Thread

    Dinghy question. Has anybody successfully mounted a small dinghy to the swimstep of a 320? My swimstep seems large enough, but the sun cushion extends over it; enough that it might make it tough to fit even the smallest dinghy. was hoping somebody has already learned what davit I should be...

    Seal Deterent

    I love my new boat and its beautiful swim step, but we have a lot of seals in our harbor that would love it too. I've seen everything from fences to plastic coyotes; in fact I watched one jump onto and eventually over a fence this weekend. I found a local company called SealStop which has a...

    Dinghy for 2020 320 Sundancer

    Thanks That sounds exactly what I am hoping to do. Were you able to keep there while cruising?

    Dinghy for 2020 320 Sundancer

    Hoping to get something small enough to somehow rig it onto rear step for storage and maybe even while cruising. Has anybody done this?
