    550 SEDAN Bridge Power steering filter

    Hello Carter, when you changed your power steering oil filter I assumed you filled the new filter with oil prior to installing, my question is did you have to manually bleed the air out of the system at the ram or did the air just work through the system on it's own? Thanks, Jim

    48DA DVD replacement

    I am in the process of replacing my DVD on a 2008 48DA and have the TV removed to unplug the DVD but I cannot get the cord through to the DVD player due to what I believe are the tie wraps on the wiring bundle . I assume you need to remove the trim panels above the TV and Stereo to gain access...

    48 Sundancer Owners

    We moved up this year from a 2009 40 Dancer into a 2008 48 and have no regrets. The boat in my opinion is the best layout that Sea Ray has manufactured. I would suggest looking at a 2008 or newer due to the electronic throttles and the 2nd generation smart craft, other than that the 2005 to 2009...

    2008 48DA Rudder Packing Leaking

    Mike, I was thinking about having a tool made also, what is the measurement across the flats of the tool that you had made? The nut appears to be either 2 3/4 or 2 7/8. The pipe wrench worked fine on my 40DA but the rudders are very difficult to get to on this one. Thanks Jim

    2008 48DA Rudder Packing Leaking

    I am looking for some feedback on what type of wrench people have used to tighten the rudder packing nuts on a 48DA. On my other boats I have been able to get a large wrench on the nuts, not the case with this one. I believe the nuts are either 2 3/4"" or 2 7/8"". I have tried a plumbing flange...

    Hot water heater 2006 400DA

    The hot water heater on my 40 Dancer is located under the aft seating area. Pull the seating section forward and then raise it up and a panel will be exposed, remove that and you should see the water heater. Also the compartment that my heater is located in is sealed and if you drain the water...

    Dancer 40

    Jay, I am the friend EAUTY refers to with the 40 Dancer and Cummins 380’s. Regarding being underpowered the boat performs to my expectations. At 80% engine load with full tanks of fuel I cruise at 26 -27 mph burning 26 gph. I can run quicker if I want to push it and when I cruise with a friend...
