I have a Garmin 4210 that I put in 6 years ago. I had to "massage" the factory opening a little. I have the Garmin Inland Rivers and Lakes package and the San Juan Islands and North charts. Very happy with it. I also got the Garmin radio which interfaces with the chart plotter. Enter an...
I have a 1999 340DA with 7.4s. Cruising at 26MPH and 3450RPMs I consistently get close to 1 mile per gallon. I'm up in the Canadian San Juans and the Broughton Islands every year starting in Anacortes, WA. I have 840hrs on both engines.
I have a 2000 340DA. We trailer it from the Spokane, WA area to Anacortes every year in August launching at the Twin Bridges at Swinomish Channel. We spend 3 weeks in in the San Juans and up into Canada. We have been as far North as Campbell River and Desolation Sound. We have been doing...
I have a 2000 340DA that I trailer from Preist River, ID to Anacortes, WA once a year to cruise the San Juans. I tow it with a 2009 Dodge 3500 Dually. No problems!
I posted recently addressing the towing issue for my 2000 340D. I tow it on a 4 axle trailer that weighs 2,850lbs plus 14,000 for the boat with quarter tanks and the dinghy on the back. So I'm pushing 17,000. I have to take my radar (GarminHD) off (I have a mount that lts me have it off in 10...
I tow my 2000 340D from Priest River, Id to Anacortes, WA(395 miles) every August to cruise the San Juans. Last summer we ended up cruising in Desolation Sound, BC. I have a 4 axle trailer and the weight of the trailer and boat is 16,800. I tow it with a 2009 Dodge 3500 Dually. The width is...
Last summer I took out the Raymarine stuff (radar/chartplotter) and installed a Garmin 4210 in my 2000 340DA. This summer I'm putting in a Garmin radar. The 2000 bus makes it easy to hook things up. I took the boat out for 10 days in the San Juan Islands (north of Seattle) and couldn't have...
I usually stay at the Marriott Residence Inn right across from the South East corner of Lake Union from the water venue of the boat show. There is a free shuttle that runs back and forth between Lake Union and Century Link Field where the indoor venue resides. Lots of good restaurants at the...
Last summer I tossed the Raymarine stuff that came with the boat originally. In it's place I put a Garmin 4210. It was the largest one I could fit in the old hole after some saw work. This year I replace the radar with a Garmin unit. I have been verrrry happy with the Garmin. Went on a 10...
December 27, 1996 piles of snow collapsed the roof at the Port Orchard Marina sinking 45 boats. Story in the Seattle Times on December 28, 1996. Most of the boats were 30 footers or longer. Don't look up! Over here in N. Idaho (outside of Spokane, it's coming down quite steady. My boat is...
Towed my 340 from N. Idaho to San Juans (Aug 11-20). Launched at Swonomish Channnel just prior to the twin bridges to Anacortes. Great time-no boat problems. Trailered over with 2 other boats
Re: 340 SUNDANCER THREAD: 2002 340 Sundancer "forward bilge pump"???
Very pleased with my 2000 340. It has the 7.4s but at 3450 I'm at 25-26 mph. That's with 4 people and full tanks. 3450 seems to give me the best gas milage (about 1 mpg) or about 25 gph. Prices are reasonable now. Bought...
Put a Garmin 4210 in my 340 this summer. Just fit in the dash but comes with an external mount bracket. The N2K network is plug and play if you want to add on (Radar, depth, engine numbers etc.). Happy with the performance and the Bluechart. Have west inland waterways and San Juan Islands...
I have a 2000 Sea Ray 340DA Sundancer. It's 11'5" beam and weighs 13,000# empty. Add a few gallons of gas and a 2,850# 4 axle trailer and I'm at 17,000#. I tow it with a 2009 Dodge 3500 diesel dually. Living in N. Idaho on Lake Pend Oreille I tow the boat once a year to the San Juan Islands...
I have a 2000 340 Sundancer. I just took off the Ray Marine radar replaced the Ray Marine Plotter with a Garmin 4210 ($1,750) and a Garmin VHF 200 series radio. Next I will replace the radar unit with a Garmin. Both are N2K and NMEA campatible so hooking them up is a snap. The chart plotter...
