Recently I was looking at a 2010 with twin 8.2's. These had the first gen catalytic converters in the risers. So... what's the opinion on when manifolds and elbows get replaced, do the cats now get replaced too? In curiosity I looked around to see if anyone had any replacement parts to get an...

While at the dealer's parts counter... I said, oh yeah, can you give me a PCV valve (I figured why not throw the Merc one on, I've got several years and 370 hours on the engine). He looked at me and said... in all my years, I've never sold one. Neither had the guy that was sitting at a desk...

I knew they reopened the small lock, but I just saw that the large lock in undergoing maintenance and will be closed until December 6th. Plan accordingly.

The other day I stopped by one of our local Sea Ray Dealers... They had a new 270 Sundancer that just arrived so I poked my head into it. Up in the V-bearth, on the top of the upper shelf both in the fore and aft portions of the shelf were blue LEDs. The saleswoman told me they were mood...

I live in the Pacific NW and for about 50 days, 27,000 machinists have been walking the picket line. One of their main bones of contention is outsourcing. I'm not looking to debate whether or not outsourcing is the right thing, but what is most surprising is that in past strikes, I've seen all...

I had thought that a Garmin 5XX series would have been a natural install on the late model 240da but I've yet to find any images of it. So, Jim (from BOE) gave me a great price on a 545s earlier this year and here's what it looks like in the dash. It's a pretty simple install... the internal...

I figured out of all the places on the net that someone would know the answer to this one, it would be here! I was talking with a family member today and he told me that his accountant told him that in the bank bailout legislation that recently went through congress, there was also language that...

Okay, I've RTFM and can only find information on changing the contrast of the CMD4A head unit. The remote is pretty dang bright at night and at this point I'm thinking I just may have to send it's hot lead through the unused accessory switch on the dash panel to turn its back light off...

I decided to put a fixed install VHF in the boat (2007 Sundancer 240). Granted, there's a fairly limited number of places to put the antenna and Sea Ray seems to install theirs right behind the helm seat. I picked up an Icom 304 and a Shakespeare 8', 6dB antenna. I opened the manual and right...

My local dealer got a new 55 Dancer in the other day and it had the same window arrangement of the 350... and it didn't look nearly as bad as the promotional pictures of the 350 made me think it would. After thinking about it, the hull was dark blue, the windows tinted with dark frames... they...

I've been lurking for awhile and as my boat appears to be the ultimate problem child, I've had to learn more than I thought I ever would have to. So I figure I should probably share a few things that I've come across and maybe make somebody else's life a bit easier. BTW, my background, a...

I have a 2007, 240 Dancer that uses the table for support of the center filler cushion. The table is supported on two sides by rails (about 1/2" thick stock) and a cross member. On mine, the table can move aft about an inch, before it runs into the galley cabinet, or just far enough that the...
