Hi, I've been troubleshooting my generator in my 380 DA for a while now. Typical start and run until you let go of the "preheat (sensor bypass)" switch. All the sensors and K1/K2 relays check out. I had a specialist come out recently and he said that the CO detectors are wired to a relay that...

Hi, I posted the below in the official 380 thread and all I got was sympathies. I'll try to summarize to see if anyone knows where I should start... Configuration: - 2000 380 DA with 2 port batteries (engine) and 2 starboard batteries that are new (engine and house) Symptoms: - On shore power...

Hi, I need to replace my water heater in my 2000 380 Sundancer and measured it at about 11 x 11 x 13. I'm guessing that the dimensions for the common replacement 6 gallon heaters at 13 x 13 x 19 will fit, but was hoping someone can confirm. Thanks, Michael.

Hi, I have two new 454 MAG MPI engines in my 380 and have developed an oil leak. The leak is from the hose fitting going into the oil filter hosing. Since I can't find an exact match to these hoses online I think I'm going to use braided stainless steel an make my own. While searching for...

Hi, Looking for a systems monitor panel for my 380 DA. Thanks.

Hi, Just tried to launch today after weeks of wrestling with a broken spark plug, and now the starboard transmission won't engage forward or reverse. The marina said they saw pink foam coming out of the exhaust when they pulled it in the fall, so I replaced the transmission cooler, drained...

Hi, Our head won't flush all of a sudden. It's less than half full, the breaker is on, and the motor/bellows is operating constantly when activated. The bellows are new as of last year. I reached in (yuck) and explored but found nothing at all. I also used the plunger (push only) and don't...

Hi, I have a 2000 380 Sundancer and with a Glendenning engine synch setup. One of the cable ends to the center of the front pulley broke and I spent last season synchronizing the engines manually which was not a problem and added it to my project list. The other day I noticed the starboard...

Brand new 454's and starboard side won't start. Engine cranks but not a hint of firing. - New plugs, cap, rotor - New IAC - Have Rinda scan device and no codes - slight smell of fuel but don't think it's flooded - working throttle while cranking has no effect - re-seated wiring harness and as...

Hi, After thining that I've properly repaired and tuned my generator motor, it now starts easily and runs perfectly, for about 10 minutes. Looking for advice on where to start troubleshooting. Thanks!

Anyone have a working Raymarine autopilot course computer they would like to sell? I have the ST7000 control unit and my course computer is behaving unpredictably. Thanks.

Hi, I think I'm going to have to replace my starboard engine (I'll spare you all the details). The boat has two 454 MAG MPI's with about 900 hours on each. I have two questions: 1. What is the conventional wisdom on replacing both engines vs. just the one? 2. What options do I have for...

Hi, I've been running my generator regularly to make sure it was ready for any overnights on the hook. Now that I'm at Watch Hill, it's not working:smt089 It ran great last night and has been starting almost instantly. I started it this morning and it ran great. Then my fuel vapor sensor in...

Hi, I shorted out my UW lights replacing the switch last year and want to replace them. Can anyone tell me if I need to pull the boat to get to these or can I do it while in the water? Any help on identifying the type of bulb needed would also be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I'm tired of struggling with my generator and recently had surgery that will make it difficult to crawl into this space on my 380 DA. It's a Westerbeke 7.2 and starts/runs, but only with a lot of trying. I want a pro to take a look. I left messages with Hansen Marine (Marblehead, MA) but...

Hi all, Anyone have a good wiper arm/blade replacement solution for a 2000 380 DA or similar? I purchased replacement arms last year (Dyna 24 inch) but the "saddle" where the blade attaches is about 1/4 inch in diameter and now I can't find blades. I'm willing to start from scratch but...

Hi, I rebuilt my wiper motors on my 2000 380 DA, but lost one of the nuts that holds the shaft to the hull. It looks like about 3/4 with a fine thread... does anyone know the exact dimensions and threading? Thanks.

Does anyone have experience installing a flat screen (about 19 inch) in a 380 DA or similar? I'm on the fence as to where to install it, i.e. - either over the existing cavity where the old TV is with a swing arm or on the vertical forward of the mid cabin. Thanks.

Can you get NOS or recovered seats for my 380? We need to replace the aft bench seats. Thanks.

Hi, I experienced a worsening vibration on my way back from Block Island last weekend. I had the marina pull the boat and there was some dock line (that looked surprisingly like mine) attached to the starboard shaft with the tail draped over the prop. Clearly this could have been causing...
