I have a 2003 340 DA. I am getting the following warning sensor "STEER CKT HI PORT" there are no other warning sensors and the starboard ending shows no warnings either. The manual sucks and does not explain and many others so we are left to seek help!! So now I'm seeking help. Does anyone...

Went out Sunday to commission my 340 DA for the season and found out that I had no power to anything: stereo, engine hatch, guages, etc. I had shore power hooked up and both meters showed power to the boat. I turned the solenoid switches on and got power to the boat. However, after a cruise...

My 2003 340 DA obviously has dual engines. The left tachometer usually always read 1100 RPM's. The Smart Craft monitor displays the correct tach. Do I need to replace the dash tach. My starboard engine burns fuel at a higher rate than my port side to the tune of using 12 more gallons...

I realize this is a stupid question but I am NOT mechanically inclined AT ALL! I'm also 6' 4" tall and engine compartments are not built for me....more cuts and scrapes then completed tasks usually! I have a 2003 340 DA. I have no idea where the strainer is or how to do it. Marina owner...

My compass light is either burned out or is not working. I have tried the accessory switches on/off while pushing the compass light button at the helm with no response. I am therefore assuming the light is burned out. Any thoughts on how to test/change it? Thanks

We were recently struck by a micro burst at our marina. Our finger was torn off it's moorings and snapped the power pole and broke the water connection to all 35 slips. Good news is our boat was out for bottom painting and service work....prop damage! We splashed yesterday and are headed...

I am trying to find a strut or spring type system that will hold the doors of the small cabinets on either side of the forward berth. I have a 2003 340 SD They open from the bottom and the hinge is at the top. They are not large doors and it is a pain when trying to dig out clothes, etc...

Ran aground going into another marina yesterday. Just barely hit the rocks b/c the water is up 10 feet and the breakwater jetty is underwater. They marked it with a pole stuck in the rocks with float noodles taped to it. Calling the Corps this morning to complain about inadequate marking of...

Does anyone know where to get new snap-in carpet runners for the cabin? I called the company Snap-In Carpets and they do not make them for Sea Ray only the carpet. Any help would be appreciated. @*#+ing guests spilled queso on the runner last weekend and washing it did not get it out...

Does anyone know where to order cabin door keys?? I have the # from the door that is associated with the key. I am assuming Sea Ray (Marine Max) etc. would be the best place to start but wanted to save time if someone already knew. Thanks

I am looking to put a coffee maker in the space that my 9" TV/VCR Combo unit is as I upgrade the audio/video throughout the boat. Has anyone else done this on a DA like mine..340 / 2003?? Does anyone know a brand or manufacturer of a coffee maker that is of good quality? I located one on a...

My marina changed both engine impellers on Saturday. Both engines run well but now my bilge pump has cycled a few times and after coming back from a cove for the day I pushed the bilge pump button and more H20 came out. Not a lot of water but enough for the pump to run for 3-4 seconds. It has...

I was wondering if I needed to have the shafts on my '03 340 DA checked as part of my regular maintenance schedule. She is having no performance issues, no vibrations, etc. My marina said it would be about $300 to check them but they did not seem to encourage me and asked several times if I...

I just received 4 gallons of Sea Hawk Cukote Biocide Plus # 3545 bottom paint. I need to compare the compatibility to the Sea Ray factory paint to ensure proper application of the new paint. The Sea Hawk rep told me that I may need to apply another product following sanding to ensure the...

:huh:I just checked on my boat Saturday. Lifted the engine hatch and saw a small amount of water in the bilge. There is not enough to activate the bilge pumps automatically or even to pump it out when I turned them on from the helm. I just got the boat in Sept. and noticed the water then but...

Late this summer I had an issue with the fresh water sensor reading. The Smart Craft system showed the temp @ 175ish degrees but the air temp, etc. was correct. Is this an easy fix? Where is the sensor and how is it repaired? Hopefully the boat has to be pulled from the water to do this b/c...

I want to upload my boat pic so that it is seen when I post but I cannot figure out how to do it or where to go on the site to do it? :huh: Any ideas from those who have pics up already?

I am going to have my audio/video system upgraded next spring and thought I might use the holiday sales as a time to get a flatscreen. I want to install it on the flat wall of the cabin that is right of the stairs (when coming down) and facing the main berth. Most of the newer Dancers have it...

:smt100I am looking to do more of my boat work myself but am certainly no mechanic. Does anyone have some recommendations of maintenance books/manuals that I can acquire to learn more and assist me in small repairs? I have a 2003 340 Sundancer and twin V-drives. Thanks

Lake Perry, KS- Does anyone know of a quality mechanic, who is reasonable, that is NOT affiliated with one of the marinas?? I am @ Rock Creek and although the service has been solid to date, they are very pricey. Thoughts??
