    98-2002 270 questions: twin engine vs singe

    I prefer dual engines. It makes it much easier to maneuver in tight quarters.

    LED Replacement bulbs for cabin area on 240 Sundancer

    I figured I would chime in. We found them at superbright leds.com under G4 sockets. He ordered two to make sure they fit, and then ordered all of them . I want to say it was around $220 all together, and the amp draw in the 12 volt system went from around 10 to just over 2. That is substantial.

    Just Changed the TPS and IAC valve on a 7.4 Horizon... what a whipping!

    As many of you know, my Father joined the Sea ray family a few months back with a 2000 340 with twin 7.4 Mag Horizons, and just recently joined the board (texray340). Since it got really cold the port engine did not want to start at all without multiple attempts and advancing the throttle quite...

    My Sandy Story

    I have reading along in the shadows, but I just have to say I am very sorry for the loss of your boat. I know it has to be frustrating, and I hope that you can find a replacement.

    Need help fast- Port engine not starting. Which battery do I pull

    Not sure. They were optima AGM batteries, and there was not date code on them at all.

    Need help fast- Port engine not starting. Which battery do I pull

    Another update. Oreillys ran a charge test and the both failed and got SUPER hot. So 500 bucks later Dad has new batteries. We will heck the fuse and the setting on the charger too just to make sure.

    Need help fast- Port engine not starting. Which battery do I pull

    Ok, we are waiting on the test to come back while we eat lunch. I betting the optima batteries are fine and it will be the charger or just a fuse

    Need help fast- Port engine not starting. Which battery do I pull

    Volt meter showed 13 volts. The second you hit the starter it goes to zero. Here is an update. Took both batteries to Oreillys to get tested and they are both too dead to test so they are charging them before testing. Could the on board charger be charging the starboard bank and not the port?

    Need help fast- Port engine not starting. Which battery do I pull

    Ok, this is on my Dads 2000 340. His port engine will not crank unless you use the emergency start, and things run fine. So this leads me to believe one of the batteries is shot. Can you tell me which one in the picture handles the cranking?

    Question about a westerbeke genset on a 2000 340 DA

    My father has a new to him 2000 340 DA and I am helping him get to know his boat and teaching the best practices and maintenance. My question is about the genset. Should you close the seacock if you are underway without the genset running? We have been running with it open (cooler weather, and...

    How to install the enclosure on a 2000 340? ARRRRRRRGH!!!!

    We actually got it mostly done. We started the zippers about 2 inches and then put in the rubber part. It still took us over an hour and there is about a 2 foot section that will not zip due to it being too tight. I am going to take the heat gun out there this week.

    How to install the enclosure on a 2000 340? ARRRRRRRGH!!!!

    My dad has a 2000 340 that came with the enclosure, but it is proving to be most difficult to install. It has this little rubber channel that pushes into the windshield and then zippers at the top. We have tried top first, bottom first, and every other way imaginable to our feeble minds, and...

    6.2L Vs 7.4L V drives

    I just helped my father purchase a 2000 340 with twin 7.4 Mags with 380 HP each. They really help that boat get out of the hole and keep on plane at around 2900 to 3200 rpm. We tested a 201 with 6.2ls and there was quite a difference.

    Question about 12volt converter on 2000 340DA

    I had a though while standing in the shower. Are you supposed to have the battery solenoids on at all times when docked?

    Question about 12volt converter on 2000 340DA

    I forgot to mention that the batteries are all Optima Gel Cells. Once we took the load off the charger refreshed the batteries fine. With everything running on the 12V side, we were pulling almost 20 amps.

    Question about 12volt converter on 2000 340DA

    My Dad just bought a 2000 340 DA and everything is going great, but we had a little issue today and I wanted to see what you guys though. Now this happened why we were hooked to shore power, so remember that. Soooo... the previous Owner had not used the freshwater tank much at all, and it...

    Looking at a 1997 330 Sundancer, and need advice

    Well, he bit the bullet today. We found a sweet 2000 340 that is just pristine. He pulled the trigger, and now we have to do the sea trials, and the inspections.
