    Depending how old your frig is, it might be a good time to just get a new one.

    Multi guage and rpm gauge Needed for 320 DA

    Hi, Sorry to say I have never been able to find a replacement. The fuel gauge portion of mine does not work. Searay has a part by the same number they sent me, but it is a totally different style gauge and will not work.

    Yes, you have the thru hull closed when using this system.

    Fresh Water Pump Help

    After putting some water in the tank, I have also had to tap on the case of the water pump to get the pump to come on.

    420 DA Thread

    A local shop added a extra zipper to the bimini just to attach the sun shade too.

    Towing a 2008 Sea Ray 280 with Ford F150 Harley Davidson

    I had a 280, tried to pull it with a Dodge Ram 2500 gas. Could hardly make it up the boat ramp. Went and bought a Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel, was like night and day.

    Does anyone like showering in their wet head?

    Our home marina and the marina’s we visit all have really nice bath facilities, furnish nice towels, and have plenty of hot water! Also, not using the shower on the boat is just one less thing I have to clean. We do use the aft exterior shower to rinse off after swimming in the salt water.

    I don’t ever use my shower. I use the shower facility at the marina.

    2005 320 Sundancer

    I agree, 80 grand is way to high for one needing some work on it and 600 hours. Not to mention the status of the high dollar items like risers, manifolds, Transmissions, a/c, date of electronics, etc. Is it a salt or fresh water boat.

    496 Merc Riser Question

    Just pulled the risers off my 2003 320 last year to install a closed cooling system when I moved the boat to Florida. Risers and manifolds looked brand new after 15 years in fresh water.

    Need a resource to repair gauges

    I have had the same issue of finding a replacement guage for my 2003 320. Have been searching for a new guage for over a year. No luck.

    Upgrade to 410 Sundancer/ Express 2000-2003

    In my opinion it doesn’t matter how much you get on your return or how many hours you put on the boat each year. Diesel is the way to go! Both are good engines, but I find Cummins are less expensive to maintain.

    Engine battery question.

    I would personally replace all the batteries at the same time and check your charger. Dual purpose batteries would work good in your model boat.

    a/c fan running all the time

    You can also leave your ac in the dehumidifier mode to help control moisture, which would save you electric and save extra wear on the ac unit when your not on the boat.
