Has anyone had to repair or replace their throttle/ shift levers from the 80's era boats? My father in law has an 86 300da with a few bad parts in one of his shifters. We are looking for somewhere to get parts for them or information on what people are using for replacements.

Has anyone installed keel guards on their hard bottomed rafts? If so, what did you use and how is it working out?

Is anybody using pivot davits such as these: http://www.allinflatables.com/shopping/davits/ad/davit.html? I recently bought a used West Marine 10'2" RIB and am looking for the best way to haul it on my 89 300da. My 300 came with weaver davits on the swim platform but my raft doesn't have pads yet.

I have an 89 300 Sundancer with the original A/C in it. 1)My seawater pump runs whenever the fan is on, I believe that it should only be running with the compressor. Has anyone else had this problem? or did the PO just wire something up wrong? 2)Is there a thermostat upgrade for these? I...

Has anyone had problems with wet carpet coming from the factory installed air conditioner in the dinette seat? It seems like the water is condensation that builds up in the tin box that the duct hoses split off of on the outlet of the blower fan. The water runs down into the hose on the bottom...

Anyone have an older Raytheon R20? I am looking at one on Craigslist that works for $200. I am wondering if it would be an inexpensive way to get radar on my boat or just a waste of time.

Has anyone removed their 80's era fiberglass arch for repairs or mounting hardware? I am considering removing the arch to mount some brackets for fishing gear and would like to know how difficult it is. I want to get backer plates on the inside of the arch to support the backside of the...

While sanding bottom paint this spring, I came across a crack underneath the bottom strake on my 89 300da. It didn't look that bad at first so I planned on grinding it out, filling with thickened epoxy and painting over it with bottom paint. As I ground into it, the crack seemed to keep going...

I have a Robertson AP1000 autopilot setup that came with my boat. It does not work, looks like water got into the controller and damaged the circuit board. I am debating getting it repaired for about $200 or replacing it with a new setup. I'd rather not spend the $2-3k for a new one unless...

Does anyone know where to find the teak handles that are on the compartments for the freshwater and seawater washdown on an 89 300 Sundancer. Don't have a picture right now but I can get one this weekend.

After cleaning, sanding, staining, pin stripe removing, buffing and fixing for the last month, I thought that the day was finally right to take the boat for a test drive. What a beautiful day on the water, 70 degrees in October is something that Wisconsinites need to take advantage of.

I will be setting up my 89 300 Sundancer for Lake Michigan fishing this winter and would like to see what others have done before I start mounting hardware. The picture is of my 81 245 after catching a limit of coho last spring

I am the new owner of an 89 300 Sundancer. When I removed the windlass to refinish the teak bowpulpit I noticed some core rot in the fiberglass around the holes made to mount the windlass. I'm not sure how far the moisture has traveled, the fiberglass and pulpit seem to still be very strong in...
