Old thread I know, but I had the same question about qhich pin to buy, here is the video I found from Nuwave comparing their pin to another (presumably a cheap Ebay / China pin as I have never heard anything bad about the JRMarine pin)

Ok thanks for all the comments, sounds like a nice to have, Ill save the $$$ and keep practicing docking for now

Hi, I am debating fitting a bow thruster, but the general wisdom is that a twin engined boat this size doesn't need one, and it should be easy with the twin throttles. I normally dock stern to, and use just the two throttles to steer her astern, but I still often find the wind catching the...

I'd be interested if you have one available?

Re: Official 280 Sundancer Thread - Odor of gas under cabin step Yes, just tightened the screw up a little and was good after that. I left masking tape all around the edge of the sender so that if any liquid leaked it would stain and I could see where it was coming from, but I think it was...

Nice boat (and lighting!) where do you keep it, I am at S of Perth yacht club? Did you have to wait long to find it, there doesnt seem to be many Sea Rays about in WA? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

When it cycles how long does it atay on for? Mine comes on for about 3-5 minutes then goes off for about yhe same so is running about 50% of tbe time which i am sure is wrong and draws too much power. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Thanks but I want to keep a shower too as we do use it. I am starting to think that regular faucet over the basin and then a seperate mixer control (maybe near the pumpout key) linked to a recessed pull out shower head like this might be a better solution than a faucet that pulls out into a...

Hi, Has anyone found a better shower solution for the bathroom, I find the shower head is a bit too long the water falls near the front of the sink instead of the back which leads to water getting splashed outside the basin when washing hands etc. I am thinking of either swapping out for a...

I mounted my new heater on a piece of marine ply painted grey, that way I could fix the ply to the boat with screws that were accessible. I also wanted to raise the heater up as the bottom has rusted out so I presume that shelf had water sit on it somehow maybe condensation or the previous...

Hi I found the port over the galley has been leaking (water runs down the back of the microwave and out under the fridge onto the carpet), and after a lot of googling the unit appeared to be a Bomar 'Flagship' unit. I called Bomar and they confirmed that Searay did purchase the 561 model...

Great! thanks for the info. That's a very useful website, if I end up needing / ordering any trucks I'll report back here on the part number. Thanks, Anthony

Hi, Does anyone know what size balls are used in the cabin door runners? I know I will need to take the entire dash out so wanted to get the parts ready (in Australia and shipping can be expensive / slow), also how many are required? I checked the parts manual but it just shows the runner as a...

Hi Ian, There is someone on ebay that makes and sells GRP replacements (the originals are plastic) have one and the colour match and fit is not bad, I also saw on another thread that Searay will make the original to order but think they quoted $600 each. Goodluck!

Hi, Has anyone replaced the rubber seal that the perspex window closes against in the portlights, if so do you have a part number or source please? Thanks Anthony

What's the actual problem you are trying to solve, espically considering marine engines don't have air filters? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Hi, Just using the oil drain pipes connected to the sump for the first time, on one engine the hose fitting in the sump (where dipstick also enters) points upwards so will never drain all the oil out via gravity, but on the other engine the same fitting swivels to it can point downwards so that...

Re BBQ, sorry reply with quote doesn't seem to be working properly on Tapatalk but I have the same BBQ (about 35cm diameter) and yes I can get it in the wet bar cupboard, even with the sub in there and a plastic create at the rear full of oils. Just need to untwist the gas adapter. However I...

Bravo III drives are known for corrosion issues, if in doubt get it checked by mercruiser tech, in bad cases they can need to be replaced if its just minor then a bit of refinishing may be all that is required

Nmea 2000 power is supposed to have its own separate fused switched supply. Personally I would keep it separate sometimes you want the systems on to chart a course etc withoug having the ignition switches on draining battery, or if there is a problem with the engine electical system you find...
