Just came through on Sunday and the water does get skinny toward the reds - especially on that long leg heading away from the narrows - was reading 2' under keel a couple of times. Had a 50' SB making the hard turn at the bottom coming at me (I'm in a 360 DA) and it was tight for the two of us.

I just bought the actuator from progressive ($121) and it is working great. Also bought the gasket from Skipper Buds ($125)

That drain behind the helm chair should route out by the bench seat behind it. I would take a hose and blast water through - most likely its clogged in there and its allowing the water to flow to other areas.

I have a 2005 360DA and noticed that the aluminum support has developed cracks along the welds where the smaller support arms (that the wood treads bolt onto) connect to the main support pole. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how did you fix? I am guessing that it can be rewelded...

On my 2005 360, on the switch in the galley for the lights/vent. Between those two switches is a push button. Press it and it fires the servo to release the pull out latch for the tv.

I did the split down the middle method. What I do to eliminate a gap is to fill each end and put a foam filter piece in each half (at the joint where they screw together). Make the foam a little big so that the two pieces compress together when you screw together the two halves. This keeps the...

I have a 2005 36 Sundancer and am having fresh water pump problem (this post is not about the pump). While checking connections, I noticed that I have a line that splits off the output of the water pump and goes back to my tank. There is a valve that sits on top of the tank. None of this...

I just did the same thing on my 360 DA. I drilled the holes a little larger than I needed and then filled them with marine epoxy (which sealed the edges of the fiberglass). I then re-drilled thru the epoxy and installed. Really easy.

Agree about John Pepe - he did the survey on our 360 Sundancer a few years ago. Very thorough and easy to work with.

That is about the RPM ranges I get with the same props. My typical cruise is at 3600 (21-23 kts) and burn about 32 gph.

I had similar problems with mine (have a 360DA with Lofrans Project 1000 windlass). It would do the click thing and run very slowly. On mine, the problem ended up being that the brushes on the motor were a little worn and sticking in their guides. There is a very simple way to fix (assuming...

I have a 360 (a 2005). It is more than enough boat for to overnight on (it is just my wife and I). We also use it alot for entertaining and can easily take 6 adults with us and not feel like we are sardines. Have been on a 380DA and though yes bigger I still like the layout and internal...

I have 8.1's and when cold, mine have a slight hiss noise until they warm up. Mechanic said that its normal - gave the name of the valve that is opened when cold.

Is the dash stereo remote for the original Clarion setup? If so, where did you find it?

I marked mine with 2 red painted stripes every 25'. Makes it really easy to tell how much is out.
