Boat Info
1987 Searay 340 Express Cruiser ( EC), dinghy on weaver davits, Humminbird Helix 7.
Engines
Twin 454 Crusaders, 350hp gas with direct drive
I recently fell in love with, and purchased a 1987 340EC and have numerous questions I'm hoping to find answers to.
My boat is basically a bare bones boat ie: no windlass, generator etc and I'm in the process of adding a Windlass, spotlight and Inverter.

I heard that all Searays of that era came with the same wiring harnesses whether equipped with these options or not.
Does anyone know if this is true, as being a larger guy with tired eyes, I have trouble seeing into the anchor locker to see if there's factory wiring there to hook into, or will I have to run wiring?

As well, any recommendations on an Inverter that'll work with this older boat?
 
I bought an 87 340 Sundancer last fall. Worked on it fall/spring and she’s in the water now. Everything is a labor of love. You would have to be 4’ tall and as skinny as a bean pole for anything to be easy. Great boats and everyone here in the forum is a big help. I’m sure someone has a wiring diagram that the can share with you. Best of luck.

Actually I just looked and have a bunch of stuff that’s from 88/89 but not much changed. The files are big. Happy to forward them too you if you want to send me your email. Not sure how to do that privately.
 
Appreciate your reply. Would love to get a wiring diagram. I got the original package that came with the boat but it has no wiring diagram. Please send to jtlake@jtekmanufacturing.com be much appreciated. i agree, these boats are a labor of love, but well worth it.
 
S lightly salty,
I've got an 89 340 sundancer, any chance of getting those files sent this way ? I' I'm in a similar situation to sea senora .
Thanks

Absolutely. It was another forum member that shared them with me originally. Shoot me an email address and I will forward them.
 
If you guys want, I'll gladly copy and fwd the actual owners manual for the 87 EC/DA that came with the boat. Has everything but the wiring diagram. Tons of info. Good for all 87 to 89 340's.
 
Thanks guys! Sea Senora, my ‘dancer came with the manual, but the thought is truly appreciated . Salty, thanks, and here you go;

I just emailed them. Let me know if you don’t receive them. Best of luck.
 
Hi I could use the wiring diagram for my 88 340 EC. I have the original owner packet but no wiring diagrams in there. If you could email them to me I would really appreciate it. Email is smallenginenick@yahoo.com. Thanks!
