Official 2003.5-2008 340 Sundancer Thread

Does anyone know where I can find or fix a 300v voltmeter on the Ac-dc panel 2005 340DA / 375 model please?
It is extremely slow to go up and down.

Sorry, I'm looking at the 2003.5-2008 models only.

115k: Private seller, went and looked at this one. It looks brand new, no exaggeration. Cleanest used boat I've ever seen. 2003.5 with only 340 hours. Current owner of 8 years. Generator with 200 hours. Recent updated Garmin 7" GPS/Chart and VHF radio. SmartCraft system. Could eat lunch off the bilge floor. Only thing it doesn't have that I want is Radar and a rear camper enclosure, which will probably be 8-11k for me to add.

118k: MarineMax brokerage boat 3 hours away. 2004 with 300 hours. Camper and radar. NO generator.

119k: MarineMax brokerage boat 3 hours away. 2006 with 480 hours. Yes Generator, no camper or radar. SeaDek throughout cockpit and platform.

129k: Local brokerage. 2006 with 450 hours. Gen and Radar, no camper. Not interested at this price.

Edit: Found another 2004 with 305 hours that was listed for 117k, sold on May 5th. Radar/Generator, no camper.

Thanks for the replys!

MrLean - Curious to see if you ever landed on a boat and if so, what you paid for it?
 
I think my shaft seals are leaking, seems to be something wet under that blue colored boot where the shaft exits the boat, anybody seen this at all?
 
Does someone have the part number of the holding tank filter for a 2004?

It is Modutec Surface Mount Panel Meter 0-300 AC Volts, 00-115300-201.
But pricy, it was $ 175 in 12/2016.

What a fun morning. Been fighting the generator on my 2006 340. It would run for 5 mins then shut down. Changed out the impeller, flushed out the exchanger, then when I went to clean the strainer, the cap top broke right off. So now I am at home with the broken top piece, but no part number. Could someone take a look at their cap and tell me what the part number is? My piece is 2 3/4" diameter without the ears. I know it is a Groco, just need to know which cap.

cant help as my boat is still in shop but would love to hear what your generator issue ended up being. Mine has similar symptoms ( will run for a few minutes then quit) and the shop hasn’t been able to figure it out.

I’m still trying to have them launch my boat for the year and this is my last issue

I paid a guy who only works on generators to look at mine. He said my carb was bad. It is a 2004 Kohler 5E(Non Led display) with 180hrs. Paid him to replace the carb, plug, fuel filter, oil and go over it last weekend. She ran like a clock all weekend. Sorry I do not know the cap part number.
 
Guys wanted to share this upgrade I did over the weekend. Never had anything for the space under the port cockpit seat and I always need more fridge/freezer space, so I got this Alpicool C15 fridge/freezer. Ran a 12v outlet from the house battery bank. It seems it was made for this spot.

Looks like a good fit and adds function. I store my electric Weber grill under there so the space is already in use.

For the install you might have been better off running a 12V lead back to the house panel so that it does not inadvertently get left on at the wrong time and kill your house batteries. I know running to the port batteries below is much simpler since it is an easy drop. Also hopefully you did not use wire nuts and electrical tape like the lights in the picture (LOL - just busting shoes).

Personally I always thought that was a waste of space for a cooler but I guess if you had the ice maker option a cooler made sense. The one thing that bothers me is the door as it always wants to close on me because of the angle and I haven't figured out how to rig up something not ugly to keep it open when I am in there.

LOL ..yes the light! Good eye! Thanks for reminding me. I need to connect those with heatshrink connections properly. Also so far as running 12v to panel ..this is fine for now, but good idea. My boat stays in year round so if it’s not on the hook, it’s plugged in at the dock. I’m scrambling getting ready for an 18 day trip out coming up here next week, so I’m going with this for now :)
 
The friendly exchange of information on here is awesome. Pleasant relief from what I see on Social media.
Let us know how the trip goes, M Prod.
And yes I too am struggling with what to do with that cooler spot as well. I have been using it to store cleaning materials since I seem to get out cleaning materials more than I get out the grill. I will look for a bin that fits the space to keep them more organized.

I keep my common cleaners between the shelf the the front of the storage area. My Weber electric sits on the shelf... but... I do have to remove the cover to fit it in (the handle is what puts it over the top for fitting in as one but I knew that before purchasing). I put quick release pins in the hinge and the cover fits fine on top just needs to go in separate. We wanted a better grill that we could use on the dock so that eliminated all propane/butane options (although I still have them) and I had to have a home for it. We regularly use the grill on our home dock and it is great!

Extra cleaners only come on board when needed or are buried some place else.

Yes but there is certainly a fair share of ‘unfriendly’ threads on this site. I’m learning to just stay out of them. Arguing on the internet is a lose lose situation every time. :)

I’ll be sure to post some pics of the trip. You probably know the area. Southern Gulf Islands this year. We had planned on the San Juans as well but Covid has taken that out of the equation it seems, so we’ll make do. Now only if summer could just show up before we leave. The weather this year has been pretty abysmal so far.

For my cleaning supplies I keep them all in the cabinet to the left of the Alpicool around the cockpit fridge. They fit for the most part and what doesn’t, I keep in my dock box.

I did it with the mercury gateway module and NMEA 2000 feeding both vesselview and garmin 742. Did not work. Only way it would work is to disconnect either vesselview or gateway from junction box. Both together no go. Currently using garmin as a speedometer and chartplotter. Not a problem because both the garmin and gateway will go back on the pontoon this winter.

I did this on my 2003 with Simrad. You have to replace the wiring harness under the gauges to get the smartcraft and new Simrad (and other brands from what I understand) and the original gauges to all work together. You have to set the smartcraft and the new device (Simrad) id correctly too, ie 1, 2, etc...And this will transfer your smartcraft settings to the new device as well. I contacted Mercury and they assisted with the proper wiring harness for my boat.
