I have a 1987 340 Sundancer with three deep cell house batteries, run in a series. The batteries are charged by the original smart battery charger installed by Sea Ray. They show a charge of 12.6 volts when fully charged, but drain within an hour or so. I did not have this issue until I recently...

My thanks to SRC member, 88dancer300, for inspiring me to do this install. He posted his install last month and it seemed like a good idea to me. Some of the newer boat may already have this feature installed by the manufacture, but, my old "87" doesn't. Now I'm able to monitor the status of my...

I need to replace my 6 gal. water heater. I was wondering if anyone had a thought about the quality and/or difference between a Seaward heater and a Kuuma heater. Any input will be appreciated. r

Well I finally decided to pull the outdated TDX system and replace it with a new holding tank. I'm trying to decide weather to replace it with the Sealand conbo. tank/pump/monitor system or just a simple holding tank. If anyone has replaced their old TDX system and could offer some advise I...

Had a great time on the river (6 Days), but at the end of the trip, when I was preparing to dump the sewage holding tank. I developed problems with the TDX-S. The macerator motor would not shut off. The macerator should only run through a 20 minute cycle and then shut down. The manual says, if...

I looked at a 2000, 380 DA today and I'm thinking seriously about making an offer. I would be moving up from an "84" 340 DA. What difference 4 feet makes. The 2000 looks great, well cared for, clean and low hours. My question: the boat has twin 454 Horizon motors, I'm not familiar with Horizon...

This is actually my Son's problem that I've been trying to help him with. He owns a 1985, 340 DA with twin 454 Crusauders. A few weeks ago the starboard engine was running rough so he had the marina mech. do a quick tune up. Plugs, cap and wires. Both distributors had already been converted to...

My boat currently has a vertical capstan, and I want to upgrade to a Lewmar V700G vertical windlass. If anyone has done this, I could use some advise. Will I be able use the existing electrical wiring, if the gauge is correct, or will I need to replace it? Is there anything I should be...

This coming weekend I will be helping my son locate a leak in his fresh water tank. But first we need to locate the tank. The water inlet is on the starboard deck. The cabin layout has the cabinets, sink, fridge, etc. on the port side. The dinete is on the starboard side with the water pump...

This is the second time I've thrown out this question. I have a 1987 340 DA. I got a lot of good feed back the first time and may go wtih the new digital ac control. My question is; has anyone moved the existing controls from inside the cabinet above the salon table to the front of the cabinet...

I have a 1987 340 Sundancer with twin 340's. The controls for the ac/heater unit are located inside of an upper cabinet above the dinette...somewhat awkward to get to. Does anyone know if they are placed there for a specific reason rather than on the face of the cabinet. And if they can be moved...
