I never heard of these before. You would think there would be more drag, but there isn't. No anodes needed. No hydraulic pumps or rams. No fluids to maintain. Automatic adjustment. Why wouldn't you want them? https://youtu.be/UlB67fa567c
My friend's 2003 410 Sundancer is weeping diesel fuel from under the port side fuel tank access panel. The hot water tank is aft to the plywood panel blocking in the port fuel tank. The fittings on the top of the tank seem to be dry. I wonder if the tank has an inspection port or sending unit...
I'm going to help my neighbor install a 2nd satellite box and TV on his 2003 410 Sundancer, but can't find the Travision TV1 TV hub to run the 2nd line. Any ideas where it might be? I didn't see it behind the salon sofa backrest.
I have a friend with a 2003 410 Sundancer with 3126 CATs. His RPM gauges stick. With the boat off at the slip, he reads like 1,200 - 1,500 RPM. The starboard side used to be reliable and he would go by that and his sync gauge to match RPM, while the port gauge always read less. It's almost...
I have recently been dealing with a hypersensitive windless breaker. If I retrieve after paying out too quickly, it trips. Sometimes there is mud on the anchor and I drop it back in to wash off the mud, then retrieve it. I see how this can overload the circuit, but its not like I'm quickly...
I'm captaining a 45' Sundancer from Myrtle Beach to Boston the first week of May. Assuming perfect conditions, high pressure, low swells, and light wind, can I get out of Pamlico Sound to run up to Virginia Beach without running the Oregon inlet before? Is there a clearly marked channel...
Each year in the past, I bought three tubs of DampRid for the boat. Two in the cabin and one in the engine room.

This year, I went to home depot and...
I have a friend on the market to buy a clean, well maintained 410 Sundancer with Cats. He's got the slip, now needs the boat. Does anyone know anything about this one?

I usually remove my impellers and put them on the galley counter over the winter to relieve pressure on the vanes. It also lets me inspect them closely for wear and cracking.
So, last year I pumped pink through the engines and then removed the impellers making a bit of a mess with pink...
The operator is a drunk driving defense attorney. The girl only survived because one of his 12 passengers on the 29 foot boat was a paramedic. Losing an arm at the elbow will have you bleed out in minutes...
I have a beautiful and well made Sea Ray table in my salon. It has two deep nicks in the surface that penetrate the clear finish down to the veneer. I can fill it if I knew what the clear finish was made from. Does anyone know? Is it acrylic, poly, or some other varnish?
Like all of you here, I don't stop thinking of boating even in the face of a blizzard that is going to shut down the entire state at midnight. Two days ago I met my new detailer at the dock to go over what I want done on my blue hull this spring. As I was having that conversation, my mechanic...
550 Sedan Bridge crash and sunk in Boston
Does anyone have any info? Boat name Il Sole Mio? He was docked at my marina for two years and the boat was listed with Russo. It crashed into a rock pile somewhere around Spectacle Island and sunk to the bottom. Way to end your boating hobby...
I had a new table made for my boat and no longer need the old table. I offer this up to karma (Its yours for free if you can come pick it up in Boston). The only catch is that it does not have the aluminum base or pole, which you can probably get through Sea Ray.
Wasn't there someone on the Northeast floatilla who is a metal artisan? I need steel cover plates fabricated to cover the holes on my main engine blocks where the raw water pumps go. I want to remove the pumps in the fall and reinstall them in the spring. This way I can remove my impellers so...
I have a lot of soot under the heat shield for my port turbo. There is no loss of boost or performance issues that I can detect at the helm or on the gauges. I'm guessing a waste gate issue. Has anyone experienced this on the Cummins turbos? I discovered the starboard side turbo is not...
I'm going to install underwater lights and I need to see if I have space to install Macris Industries MIU60s with all the hydraulic lifts, zinc, and tabs. They are 25 inches long. Does anyone have a shot of a dry transom on a 2005 - 2012 48DA?
