We have always used vc17 bottom paint and always in fresh water. In the same marina for years. This year's haul out presented us with some type of blistering or apparent damage to the bottom paint in the areas of the trim tabs and centre anode. All anodes were replaced this year with...

I have not been able to find anything searching through the posts regarding anyone who has redesigned the cockpit layout of a 92 330 dancer. There are two issues I am looking to resolve with hopefully a bit of change. -the two bench seats, one behind the helm seat, and the other across the...

I am hoping to find a source for cabinet door hinges for our 92 330 Sundancer. They are the hidden hinge type used for the galley cabinet doors. I have searched Great Lakes Skipper, FP Marine and Ebay with no success. Please let me know if you know of any other sources I may look into. Thanks Ken

We are looking at purchasing a 1992 330 DA. I had a couple of questions relative to the windshield attachment to the hull as well as railing stanchions. The feedback I received from Sea Ray support is simply unbelievable. Particularly for a 20 year old boat. You would think I had just spent...

Who invented Footitis ?? I have been infected. However I would like to survey your opinions regarding selling our 300 and moving to a 340. We love the 300 with the big blocks however need more room. Thanks Ken

Due to the design of the bow anchor roller bracket, I have to manually deploy the anchor with enough rode to just suspend the anchor vertically, position the boat to where I wish to deploy the anchor and release it. The issue I am having is the windlass will not hold the anchor vertically (25...

I have read numerous posts on different types of stuffing box shaft log packing but have not seen this type mentioned. ---tallow impregnated braided flax packing--- I would like to know if others on the forum have any experience with this type of packing. Thanks Ken

We are in the process of refurbishing the cabin of our 89 300 Weekender and the First Mate has decided the original Little Litton microwave has got to go. I have looked at how to remove it and have removed the two small screws along the bottom front flange, and although I can move it somewhat...

This might be old news however I wanted to post a very good cleaner we have found for carpet stains. Simply spray it on and forget it. Tough stains take a bit more effort however the cabin area of our 89 express looks as good as new. It also helps to prevent further staining. We are very...

I am searching for replacement gauges (voltmeter,tachs) as well as the strip behind dash lighting for our 300 Weekender I have tried Old Boat Gauges, FP Marine, and Blue Water Specialty Marine products however so far unsuccessful. Please let me know if you know of other sources where I may be...

I would like to request information regarding replacing raw water impellers on our 89 300 Weekender with 454 direct drive inboards It looks to me that the entire belt driven pump should be removed in order to replace the impeller, however before I start tearing things apart I am hoping someone...

Now that we are proud owners of a classic it makes sense to move to the proper forum category.. Thanks to andyr for the help. This is our first experience with a larger twin engine boat and I must say we are very happy with our purchase. Lots to learn. Neighbours at the marina have been very...

I would very much like to hook up with other 89 300 Weekender owners. I have tried searching the site without much success and probably going about it the wrong way. Thanks Ken

Our recently purchased 300 has the following battery switch set up with a three battery bank. Two of the batteries are from what I can see 680 CCA, and the third (new battery) is a series 27 deep cycle. I am not sure of the series of the other two batteries just yet. Both Guest switches...

Last post in the fall dealt with the marine survey. Sea trial completed very successfully, boat transported to our slip and ready to go. Love the sound of the big blocks and very impressed with the precise manouvering capabilities using just the shift controls with the throttles at idle. Lots...

Looking at moving up in size from our 93 230 DA to a 92 270 with at 5.7 Bravo 2. The 270 has about 820 hours, a good "above average " survey, new canvas and carpets. The boat is some distance from us and we have not physically inspected it as of yet, however comments from both the broker and...

Currently trailering a 93 230 DA. Does it make sense to go larger ?? Could sure use some help evaluting the pros and cons from the experts. We think we like the flexibility of trailering however the Trent Canal system has become very interesting for my wife and a I (3 and a half hour trip )...

I currently have two switched 12V marine 60 ah cranking batteries connected in parallel. Our 230DA is wired for 12V dc with no shore power option. I have purchased an 12V DC/AC television for occassional use with probably 2 to 3 hour continuous run time. The tv draws 70 watts which I believe can...
