The crack is about 2-3 inches in length. It was caused by bumping the dock while trying to back in with one engine. i am going to have the yard do the repair, but I just wondered what I might expect it to cost

Has anyone had to get small crack in the swim platform repaired? How much did it cost?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before. I have a 2005 320DA with a Clarion APX 480M stereo unit. The owners manual states that the system has an external RCA input for external devices such as an IPod. O.K. great, where did they hide it.

I have a 2005 320 DA with twin 6.2 litre engines and 100 hours. On 10/4 an engine alarm sounded and the Smartcraft display indicated "IAC Output - Port" and "Engine Power Limited". I know that IAC means Idle Air Control, but does anyone know what this alarm is telling me about the engine? It...

I Just replaced three new batteries on my 2005 320DA. The engines start right up, however the voltmeter shows 1 volt less on the starboard battery than the port. I assume they should be reading the same. Is this normal?

I have boated on Lake Michigan for over 25 years in both single and twin engine boats. I can honestly say I never felt totally safe in the single engine vessels. I had engine failure once with a single engine 27 footer. The weather was calm and the Coast Guard gave me a tow to the closest...

My Searay 320 has 3 group 31 deep cycle batteries. I need to replace them but have had a problem finding group 31's. I have found group 29 batteries with the same dimensions and cranking amps. Any reason to be concerned that the group number is different?

He didn't give a reason, just stated that Sea Ray is replacing the plastic tracks with aluminum. A new track has been ordered for replacement. I suspect that plastic just isn't strong enough to take the weight of the door. Sea Ray must feel that way since they appear to be going away from...

My 2005 320DA's cabin door slides on a plastic track. The boat was delivered new with a broken track and was replaced. Now it has broken again. A Sea Ray mechanic stated that new tracks are aluminum. What does your cabin door slide on and what has been your experience with it?

Tim, I was just at the Milwaukee Boat show and I agree with you on the 330. I was disappointed and am glad that I have the 320. I thought the cabin in the 330 had much less room. And I do not like removing storage space in the lazarette for a jump seat that would get very little use. What I...

Thanks for the reply, I think I aree with Martin, write a check.

If you have changed the impellers on a 320, could you please explain to me how you get a wrench behind the pump to remove the six bolts? It seems impossible to get enough leverage to loosen the nuts. I can't believe how little room there is to work with.

I have Z-Hurth transmissions on my 320 DA. The maintenance manual states the fluid should be changed annually and the process seems not to be too difficult as depicted in the manual. However, I recall the delivery captain didn't sound like it was a simple job, and the marina charges $260 per...

Thanks skolbe, I will look there as soon as the boat gets launched in 34 days, but who's counting?
