Currently don’t have pictures but the leak is coming thru the gasket that holds the window in the frame. I would guess the rubber gadget gets hard from exposure and the no longer can keep out the water. I am going to visit a window company to see if they can replace the rubber gasket.

we have a 1996 330 Sundancer. During a recent heavy rain I noticed water leaking thru and around the window glass and the rubber channel. Is there an ‘easy’ way to seal the glass in the channel? Or, does the channel all need to be replaced? Has anyone done the replacement? If so difficult and...

I can see a short black hose stuffed with wires. I will look for another chase. Would be great if it was a little less challenging.

I have a 1996 330 Sundancer that I am trying to install a gas fumes sniffer. Is there any tricks or hidden passages that can be used. It looks like all the wires and cables from the dash area lay on top of the starboard fuel tank. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Transom locker it is. My error on calling it a trunk. I am going to get behind the water inlet and see if that is leaking. Already check the transom shower and that was good. Thanks for all the info and correction on description 'trunk'. Thanks..

We are new to the Sundancer with a 1996 330. Seems like a great boat. With all the rain in the Great Lakes area the inside of the trunk is always wet. Is this normal? Would like this area to be dry. Water also seems to seep from the trunk to the back of the compartment where the hose connection...

Has anyone replaced the rollers on the cabin entry doors? If so where did you get the replacement rollers and how did you get the sliding door out? I have adjusted the rollers many rime but I am close to not have anymore adjustments. Tx

Excellent,,post #128 was just what I was looking for. Now if I can only make myself like a pretzel the job will be easy. Getting to the rudder post is 90% of the work. Thanks

I have an 87 340 EC and replaced all the interior cockpit panels. I used marine plywood and had them recovered with fabric to match the seats.

Does anyone have a source for old Sea Ray parts?? I have a 1987 340 Express and I am in need of a replacement dash switch panel. The panel is a blue graph design with all the cutouts for the switches and lableled. Of course the panel is pressed something (cardboard) and is cracked. Is there a...

I have a 1987 340 Ex with twin Crusader 454's and it seems like both are producing a lot of exhaust steam. I have changed both impellars and there seems to be good water flow from both exhaust. This is in fresh water and the boat has never been in salt water. Approx 625 hours on the engines. Is...
