2001 380 Sea Ray Sundancer
Engines
Twin 8.1 horizon
we just bought our 380 sundancer and love it. It needs a few minor things. 1st one of the galley doors is not closing properly. I feel it needs a new hinge. Where’s the best place to find one?
Also the salon couch is missing the filler cushion to make it into a bed. This is needed as we have a large family and lots of visitors.
And lastly. The boats cockpit ice maker was working prior to our purchase but now is not. It’s on but nor producing.
 
Not sure what hinge you have, but some have adjusting screws that come loose, might just need to tighten. If not take old one to Lowes etc. They should be able to match up. Cushion will have to be made by local upholsterer. Do you have the water pump on, it needs to be on to feed the ice maker.
 
Regarding the ice maker...assuming the "arm" is in the down position, pull the white cover off of the front of ice maker assembly and check the condition of the gears. A few good taps could free things up if they are rusted.
 
Thanks. Why does the water pump need to be on. That seems strange. Thank you for your help.
 
But if we are hooked up to shore water will that not work?
Maybe, but try the water pump on too. By the way, I never leave the shore water connected to my boat. If you spring a leak onboard while you are away, it could sink your boat if the pumps cannot keep up. With the water pump/tank, there is a limited amount of water.
 
If you're hooked up to dock water (and it's on) your ice maker should be working correctly assuming the arm is not locked in the up position as mentioned above.

Congrats on your new boat!
 
We have a 390, and also looking for filler cushion(s) to convert couch to bed. I can’t even find a photo of what they look like. Does anyone know?
