300 Sundancer questions.

One of my forward window porthole covers on the outside has a chunk missing out of it. I have found replacements on Ebay, but have a question. Do these pop off, or are they screwed on some how. Cannot get to the boat to look at it due to storm. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jeff
 
jeffk: Good luck with the seatrial! That is one heck of a good price if it all checks out ok. Did you get a survey?

Jeff - make sure they show you where the super secret starboard stowage in the mid cabin is.....if they can find it.
 
Jeff,

Can I get a hint in advance?

Looks like you have the same boat, except for the motors?
 
How about a little hint :)

Is it long and narrow, and flips up? I may have alraedy found it.
 
Okay, twist my arm...it flips down, starboard side....wait, maybe if flips up on the port side.... :grin:
 
Hi, I have a 2002 300 Sundancer and Im loocking for teak to put on the swim platform. Anybody that can recommend any company that sells complete "kit" ready to be mounted?
 
I am very close to buying 2005 300da. It has low hours and looks in good condition. Wondering what any knows about the 2005 300da (problems,etc) and if this would be a good family boat (wife & 2 kids)
Thanks

I have a 2006 which is the same as a 2005. I love the boat and the layout. Quick boat and you can still do the "sport boat" type stuff like skiing and tubing while enjoying the big cabin for overnights. Problems I've had??? Bellows needed replacing early (Marine Max said it was faulty clamps) and the round skylights needed to be resealed. Both covered under warranty. Hopefully you will be a 300DA owner soon.:smt038

I'm not aware of a teak kit that would be specific for the 300 swim platform, however, there have been a few threads on CSR that discuss this, try searching the board. I think CSR has an advertiser for teak products.

Does the boat you are looking at have a generator? I had an issue with my EIM (located on the bulkhead in the engine room) being located to close to the generator muffler. The EIM would get too hot from the muffler and cause abnormal switch pad functions.
 
My generator is down right now.

Needs a fuel pump, which I'll replace in the spring.

After letting her cool off for a few months, I just went out to the boat this past weekend to start it up. I noticed that I could not open the hatch...or turn on any other switches on my port helm control panel (hatch / FWD ACC / Etc). I look under the wheel and saw a breaker popped for the panel, which I reset, and the panel was working again. When I tried to use my starboard panel ( nav lights/anchor/ etc) it wouldn't work either. I double checked all of the CBs at the helm and the engine room CB box and all were good. Now here's the kicker, when I looked at the SR owners manual it says the helm breaker box is supposed to correspond to the starboard panel and the engine room box to the port. As I said, the breaker reset at the helm solved the hatch problem on the port panel. Does anyone know if these panels go bad frequently or if the CB boxes have issues? We've had a couple Nor'Easters and they might have gotten a little damp. Anyone have any good troubleshooting techniques? On a happy note, it was great to get back on the water!
