I see that they call it a muffler for gas boats, and bypass expansion chamber for the diesel boats. I had so many broken impeller pieces in my heat exchanger that it is possible the expansion chamber got overheated, though I never had the engine over heat. I am sure the expansion chamber is...

I just had the boat up on land and checked it underneath when I painted it, everything is fine there. And I do not have any problems with high temp when running it so it must be a good flow under water, it is just when sitting at the dock that I am surprised to see just a trickle. The impellers...

I have 2001 Sundancer with 3126 Cats and seeing very little water coming out on the port side. The starboard side has a great flow and splash, the water on the port side barely running. I cleaned out the heat exchangers (had lot's of impeller pieces, 14 to be exact) and cleaned the transmission...

I was told Browning's Marine out of VA Beach used to arrange SeaRay trips some years ago, I just can't find anyone arranging this now from SeaRay. I should probably join a local boat club to broaden my horizons! Thor

Does the Club plan any trips this year on the Chesapeake Bay? I am out of Gloucester, VA and it would have been fun to join other SeaRay owners for some weekend trips. Already made reservations for 4th of July at Windmill Point. The Tikibar is calling.... Thanks Thor

Hi guys. Thanks for all your replies, and all of you are pointing to the belt. So I will try to shrink down from 6 foot 1 to about 5 foot and get in there! The 41 Sundancer is tight back there, but I have been there before, and I was surprised I made it back out! Thanks Thor

Hi Have anyone experienced a screeching noise from a 2001 diesel Westerbeke 7.0BTD generator? It comes and goes, and I do not think it is the engine itself due to I just got the oil sample results back that shows normal engine wear. I have only 330 hours on the generator. Beeing a diesel engine...

That was funny, see, I am a norwegian southerner! No ice fishing around here.....

I want to say thank you to all that contributed with answers, very helpful. Seems like it boils down to this, AGM if you anker out a lot, and wet cells are ok if you don't. Thanks To David I have the boat at Crowne Point Marina in Gloucester right now, moving it York River Yacht Haven...

Hi Guys I purchased a 2001 410 Sundancer and the batteries are from 2004 and it is time for replacement, all 5. I don't want to spend a fortune, and there appear to be many options out there. Autoparts store is at the cheap end at 75 dollar for a marine battery, then the other end is way up...
