Looking to source the parts needed to change the manifolds and risers on my 2005 320 Sundancer at the best possible price..
Can you recommend a good source and about how much they run? (besides Marine Max).
Thanks
Hoping someone has a working or new EIM box (the one under the helm) which runs the starboard pad (horn, anchor, lights, stereo)... If someone has one for sale please contact me asap here or you can text or call me at 954-224-7411.
Thanks
Barry
Though I've done this impeller replacement many times, I got distracted when I was removing the old impeller and want to put the new one in tomorrow, but can't remember which way the veins should go and I know that's very important.. Anyone that knows - it's a Kohler 5E.. Also any tricks in...
Just a heads up for anyone interested, I'm signed up with Bahamas Toursim Boating Fling, for the last one of the season, leaving from the Bahia Mar Fort Lauderdale. Captains meeting Wednesday night July 24th, and we leave first thing (6:15am) Thursday morning July 25th, to the now renamed...
OK, I had my mechanic out today to do a general service and since I have mostly had the boat at idle for the last 6 months, he said I need new spark plugs. I know what I used before were AC Delco 41-983 Iridium, and I had found an amazing deal on ebay one time, but now that deal is not there...
My new Standard Horizon VHF from BOE is due to arrive the middle of the week, and I was wondering if there is any reason at all to also change out my fixed VHF antenna? I haven't noticed any problems, but it's now 7 years old and I was wondering if the so called digital ones do anything...
Hey Guys,
My old Raymarine is dead and I'm ready to purchase from BOE a new Standard Horizon with AIS and DCS built in. great radio but slightly smaller in width and height than the hole that was cut out for the larger Ray unit. Most of today's radios are smaller in footprint. Any...
Signed up this week for the boating fling put on by the Bahamas to Bimini Bay the last weekend of July. Captains meeting on the 25th, and we leave first light on the 26th... I missed going last year as I had an engine (Cold Fuel Module ) issue , and am so looking forward to getting away with...
OK, so I've seen the spots for SuperFlush on the Ship Shape TV shows, and as a one man operator of my boat, kind of like that you don't have to close the seacocks, or even start the engines once you get the system installed. Also like how it has a way to increase the pressure to really clean...
Maybe this has been posted before, but just got an email about this tragic accident..

I've owned my boat (2005 320 Sundancer) for about 3 years now and have never had to use the hot water heater; in fact the original sticker is still covering the breaker, but since I'm heading over to the Bahamas next week, I figured I'd test it out...
I have plenty of water in the tanks, and...
The next boating fling that the Bahamas puts has it's captain's meeting 2 weeks from tonight and leaves the next morning at first light for the clear turquoise waters of Bimini. So far I know Ray and Kathy from White Pearl, and myself, my son and our friends on Sunny Daze are heading over...
Up until Saturday, I've never had a problem with either of the refrig units on the boat, but after coming back from a day out on the water I went to check the refrig down in the cabin and see what was left in there, and saw that nothing in there was cold. Usually there's a faint noise when the...
When I was at the Miami Boat show I went to the Mercury booth and saw what I've been wanting for 2 years; to be able to hook up my Chart Plotter to my smartcraft and show all the information on the great screen that Garmin has in my 5208 (I know Raymarine also has a great gauge screen). Of...
I've debated on getting an EPIRB vs one of the new PLB's, and have decided on the PLB as they can be taken anywhere and even though it is a manual device to activate, can fit in your pocket or Ditch Bag pretty easily and so my questions are if anyone has any experience with either of the two...
I've had this engine about a year for my dinghy and it has always started the first pull no problem...Now, for the last few times; it will cold start with the choke out the first tme, but after a minute or two when I get it warmed up and push the choke in it dies and won't start again no matter...

With my insurance up for renewal in a few days, I shopped around and am thinking of switching to BoatUS as my current insurance is written thru Lloyds of London and another UK based company and is about $300.00 more than the Boat US quote I received for the same or better coverage. I also...
Last year we ran from Port Everglades out to the ocean and up to Lake Boca for Aquapalooza with Chad from Azureyes and had a great time. This year it is again at Lake Boca this coming Sunday...
Anyone else planning to go???
