    Visiting Lake Norman?

    I've noticed a few of you have mentioned visiting Lake Norman. here's a link to a map showing the resturants and bars on the lake. I've found it very handy. http://www.lknsocial.com/portal/2008/09/lake-norman-waterfront-dining/

    1980 26ft Sea Ray

    The thought has never crossed my mind. I just use the tank drop ins and have it pumped out when it starts getting full. really wasnt that often. But I have a rule no #2 on the boat.

    What to use for wood?

    The clear is only a top coat. you first use Cetol marine or marine light then if you desire a shine you can coat it with the top coat. I didnt use the top coat last year but I think I will this year.

    you probably dont have a holding tank other than the tank built into the toilet follow your waste line down and i bet it will go straight into the bottom of the toilet like mine. there is really no reason to worry about fixing the macerator since its Illegal to pump out into fresh water anyway...

    Missing teak deck rails - any ideas?

    1975 Sundancer

    I had the same problem I talked to a guy who works on mercruiser and he told me to rock the out drive back and forth from the outside of the boat. He told me that I wouldnt be able to shake it hard enough to mess anything up. So i tried it even though I didnt think it was a good idea. But it...

    Can someone tell me about this model?

    looking at searay.com archives the 79 260 sundancer looks just like the early 80s just like my boat. But the smaller 79 240 sundancer looks like the older models

    79 Mercruiser 5.7 wiring help !

    From what I have been told the shifter control will kill the motor slightly to shift into forward and reverse. But its not enough for you to notice. And if it not right the boat will not run.
