Hello everyone I need some advice. On my340 89EC, I am having a problem with the port temperature gauge. It seems to be reading very weakly. I.e. There is a very slight movement up when underway and the other engine is hot. I've swapped the gauges and they are both ok. I've read the...

Hello Everyone I am looking at a 10' Zodiac for use this year. I've talked to a guy who has a 2002 model with inflatable floor. Sounds ok but I will have to look at it before. The owner did mention that he's almost had the thing flip back up on him when he's in it b/c the engine and his...

Hello Everyone I am considering a project for early spring. I am thinking that it would be nice to build a new seat section for the passenger side of my 34' EC. Currently I have the elevated A frame type of expandable seat that was standard. Frankly, this seat is not really functional and I...

All I've gone through a couple more air conditioning problems over the past few weeks and I thought that I would add them to the forum in case anyone needs problem solving in the future. My boat: 1989 Sea Ray Express Cruiser 340 Air Conditioning System: Marine Air Problem 1: Loss of...

All, I figured that I would post a summary of my recent experience with a Marine Air air conditioning unit on my 1989 340 Express Cruiser. Hopefully this will be a benefit for someone in the future. I know that I scoured these forums when I was going through the problem so maybe this will...

All I have to pay tax on my boat in Indiana. They want to know the original value of my boat in 1989. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should report? I'd like to go on the low end because they have no idea the value either and I don't want to pay more tax than what is fair...

Hello All We've had a couple of unusually hot days here in Chicago and I have been trying out the AC on my new (old) 1989 EC 340. I've searched the forums but can't find anything that's helping too much so I am making a new post. The AC unit runs and I can hear the compressor kicking...

Hello Everyone I finally got my hands on my new (to me) 1989 Express Cruiser. Today I was looking for the source of water in the bilge. Seems that the starboard stuffing box is dripping quite a bit while not underway. To tighten it and to hopefully stop the leak, do I simply take out the...

Hi all Thanks for the info that you have all given me on my other post. Now I am curious as to your list of 'essential' dock/marina gear.? What gear, equipment, items do you really use and recommend. Anything unusual or different that might be a good trick to pass on? Thanks Michael

Hello All New owner of a Sea Ray and I have some questions about how to manage the boat at the dock. My boat is a 34' Express Cruiser. I will be storing it at a local marina and will be staying on it several nights a week to help break up a long commute. Does anyone have any information...

Hello Everyone I'm now the proud owner of a 1989 340 Sea Ray Express Cruiser. I've posted a few things in the last couple of months and I appreciate the info that you've shared. The deal is closing and I will be looking to move the boat onto Lake Michigan. I'm planning to use it as a home...

Hello Everyone I am shopping for a Sea Ray and yesterday I looked at an 89 340EC. This boat did not have a generator and I am wondering about the 'essential'ness of a generator. I talked to the owner and according to him he only got low on the batteries once after they had set up for a long...

Hello all I am considering a EC or Sundancer in the range of 33ft. Does anyone have any recommendations or insights about the differences? I will be using the boat for two purposes. 1. General boating and fun on Lake Michigan. Mostly cruising and time out on the water. 2. A place for...
