    1987 S23 Floor and Stringers

    I went down to harbor freight and picked up a chain hoist then used a tree limb. Then lowered it down on a trailer. Worked perfectly and was cheap to do. I'm in the same boat with the stringers and all. I made up my mind I'm all in.

    1978 260 Sundancer 12 volt house ground

    I was looking at the ground section in the article and you just answered another question for me. I redid my shore power which has a metal breaker box which is of course grounded. I was wondering about whether or not that was enough of a ground for that and I see the article says the shore power...

    1978 260 Sundancer 12 volt house ground

    OK, I was doing some research and have seen a number of ground systems, some which just say using the negative post on the house battery. However I came across one I think may be the better way to go. Basically you just run the house battery negative to the start battery negative post which is...

    1978 260 Sundancer 12 volt house ground

    LOL! Darn I thought I had an answer. I was able to test my old panel board this morning and all the switches work great. So I guess once I feel secure about a proper ground and finish identifying the rest of the spaghetti wires then I can start running circuits to everything.

    1978 260 Sundancer 12 volt house ground

    Hello All, I'm in the process of rewiring and am separating the 12 volt house panel from the starting battery to it's own battery system. I'm going to use the old panel which has breakers for each circuit next to the switches. The panel itself has no ground connections, just the breakers and hot...

    Air Conditioner Question

    Great. I didn't see anything wrong with it however I like to be cautious in case I was missing something. There's nothing online showing someone running an air conditioner with their boat out of the water. I'll give the bucket a try to make sure the pump works then use a hose as I go further...

    Air Conditioner Question

    Hello All, I have a 78 260 Sundancer that I've been working on and trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. I just finished with the shore power wiring so all the receptacles are wired and working. The boat has an air conditioner set up under the seat cushions which has a regular 3...

    Batteries/Wiring

    I'm trying to figure out the wiring on my 78 260 sundancer and how I'd want the batteries and circuits set up. I saw this quote from 2017 here on Classic Sea Rays which sounds right to me. I'm curious if others agree or have any other ideas or suggestions. Appreciate any comments. Here is the...

    1978 260 Sundancer Toggle Switches?

    I think you got it. Based on your idea this morning I looked at some for sale adds online with photos. The boats that are an exact match with mine don't have the spot light and none of them have those toggles or even the hatch door. Good to know. Thanks
