I’m sorry it is such a bad picture. Lighting was horrible under the cover. Anyway I did add 1.5 inches to the height. The overall height is now 3 inches. You will need 6 spacers 1.5 inches tall and 1 spacer 2.25 inches tall to elevate the OEM holder to a total height of 3 inches. The OD of the...

delrindepot-4 is the eBay user name I used to make the Delrin spacers. It takes 7 of them. 6 of the same size and one that replaces the Delrin spacer spreader present just longer. I used calipers to replicate the ID and OD of the one already present. I’m pretty sure I added 1 1/2 inch to the...

I had this picture on the phone. If you zoom in you can sort of make out the change.

I reused the existing cup holder. I had a guy I found on eBay make Delrin spacers to elevate the entire cup holder about 1 1/2 inch if I remember the height correctly. It makes the three cup holders actually useful and also provides a fiddle so items stored under the windshield on the port side...

Nice. And I thought I got a good deal when I bought a Kohler 5ecd with 4 hours on it from Cobalt that they did not use in a prototype boat for $1800. You got me beat by a long shot.

http://clubsearay.com/index.php?threads/removing-backrests-from-2000-searay-270-da.54642/#post-611476 Found it. They were not my pictures. Also unfortunately the pictures were on photobucket which is no more. You might try the original poster, Bright Idea, from the above thread. It looks like...

http://clubsearay.com/index.php?threads/late-90s-270-sundancer-thread.1786/page-6 On page 6 I listed a lot of the improvements I had done to the boat at the time. One of the links is to the wiring runs for the stereo. Unfortunately most of the links to old clubsearay posts are broken. I think...

Maybe. I might have posted them back in the day. I’ll look.

I have the 2000 year model of same boat. I have removed all of the interior to have them reupholstered. To get the two back pieces on the rear facing lounger does require taking apart a lot of the interior in the rear bunk. It can be done. Just for slow and steady. Take pictures to remember...

Or you could bravely go where few have gone… For the same cost of a generator and probably less weight, put in a large lithium bank and seriously upgrade the main propulsion alternator to charge the lithium bank. Could work depending upon how you use your electricity? Sailboaters do it a lot...

Changed profile picture.

Yes that is mine. I guess if it was actually mine it would be maroon and white so we will call the orange and white one my wife's boat. I have not changed my profile picture.
