    Official 330 Sundancer Thread

    I don't know exactly what the sound is this boat is making but what you're describing is a typical drive plate rattle. It's not technically the transmission but it's the drive plate that connects the trans to the engine. It's normal for these to sound like a coffee can full of rocks at idle and...

    370 Sedan Bridge do's and don'ts help

    I owned a gas powered 1992 370DB many years ago. It was a great boat except it was too slow for me and underpowered. Also with the engines being very close together and having prop pockets made it a handful to maneuver around the dock. Always had to horse the throttles to get a response...

    Intermittent annoying engine alarm beep when all parameters normal

    Not sure what the alarm is tied to on your boat but on a few of mine the trans temp was a part of the system. I had an alignment issue on one of the motors that caused the trans to overheat after an extended run. All engine gauges where fine but all I had to do was put my hand on both...

    Need to re-power 7.4l efi

    Bought the engine from a local shop that gets them from the rebuilder so I don't remember the name of the company that actually built the engine. Only have about 10 hrs so far but all is well. I think if I was going to keep the boat for long time and put a lot of hours on it I may have gone in...

    Quality

    My experience with owning 5 different Sea Rays over the years is that the boats that came out of Merrit Island seem to be of better quality than my current Knoxville built boat. I realize that the larger Merrit Island boats are built with much nicer parts such as the transom door on my 370DA...

    Time to replace fuel hoses. Any advise before I start?

    Not sure which lines you're doing but when I replaced one of my engines last year I noticed that the lines from the cool fuel to the filter were kinked. I think someone in the past had folded them in half. I searched high and low for a way of having new ones made with the correct materials and...

    Official 330 Sundancer Thread

    Engines are not in my opinion the "wrong size" since they are physically the same size and weight as the engines in my boat and many other 330's. only difference is that you have the optional higher horsepower version which is a good thing. Only concerns I would have for this model would be...

    Official 370 Sundancer thread

    I have found that they sometimes put the screws along the edge of the panel and leave out some staples on the back that attach the fabric covering in the screw area. If you give the fabric a tug along the edge you may find a lose spot where you can pull it out of the way enough to access a...

    I have a 99 and they are not Horizon engines they are only 310 hp. I had Horizons in two other boats that were 380hp. The problem comes from the cam shaft design on the higher hp engines

    I had my 330 trucked from Maryland to NJ and my 370 trucked from Florida to NJ. Neither had the arch removed.

    Official 370 Sundancer thread

    I had the same isssue with the speakers being right in your ear so I disconnected them and installed surface mounted speakers under the seats. I left all of the original wiring intact and just made up some jumpers to reach the new locations. I went with surface mount speakers in their own box so...

    I believe my 1998 DA had a factory installed drain hose that ran through the bulkhead so it would drain into the bilge. If there was just a drain hole it would allow fumes from the engine compartment into the cabin.

    Never heard of that. The tank that's under the ice maker would be the port tank.

    Shower Draing Slow-Is it safe to use Draino on a boat?

    I think Sea Ray didn't do well with their shower drain systems. I've had several and none of them had a removable drain cover and I've always had problems with drainage. I've tried all of the different versions of clearing them and I believe the drains are just inadequate. I spent about six...
