Yesterday we were out for a cruise on our 340DA. I was scrolling through some of the screens on the vesselview 1.5 and it locked up and froze. Couldn’t reset the unit or change screens. Also all the smartcraft gauges went to zero. I was able to continue to view engine data on a Garmin 943...
I’m about to upgrade the original C80 on our 2008 340 to a Garmin 943. The C80 has both seatalk and NMEA connections being used. Does anyone know how Sea Ray typically setup the transfer of data? I’m sort of assuming the seatalk is at least the arch top GPS antenna and possibly the original...
Good Afternoon all, I'm going to be replacing the spotlight on our 340 with another identical unit. I'm looking for recommendations for which sealer to use. I've got to do some re-sealing on the windshield frame as well as the rear vent covers and after research here decided to use sika flex...
According to the parts guide, original equipment on our 2008 340 DA was a Raydata retractable depth sounder. Depth indication worked good over the summer on sea trial. After having the boat hauled from VA to TN we've got no depth indication on the C80 or smart craft. I've been reading both...
It appears the PO bypassed the water heater completely and routed water from the cold manifold down to the hot manifold. Both the surveyor and I missed this at the prepurchase inspections. I'm scratching my head how to connect the heater back into the system. It appears they used factory...
I need some advice. We had a survey done last Tuesday on a Sundancer we've got a purchase agreement to purchase. At the conclusion of the survey, the surveyor and I spent a couple minutes going over findings(there weren't many, pretty solid boat). He told me to expect a list of discrepancies...
Thought I'd recount what happened to us yesterday in hopes someone else comes along and needs some direction.
Cruising down the river on plane, had what seemed like a 1/2 second of warning beep then engine shut down. No power to any gauges(which after checking had frozen at their positions...
On my 2005 SD I typically have the smart craft set to display either water depth or sea water temp. I've noticed lately when making throttle changes the screen switches on its own to trim position temporarily and then usually to oil pressure. Each successive throttle change brings the display...
Hello All,
Last weekend I had a sense that maybe when I shifted from neutral to forward it took a bit longer than usual for the drive to fall into gear. This is my first season with a bravo 3 after many with an alpha 1, so at times I'm still awed by how quietly it shifts in and out of gear...
Hello all, thought I'd put this out there for you opinions. My father has a 1999 210 sundeck with a 5.0 EFI I believe. It is very difficult to start and appears to me for run very rich. Dark exhaust smoke once it finally does start and the associated staining on his swim platform. It seems to me...
Hello all,
I've noticed just in the last two or three outings that while at idle, out of gear the 5.0L MPI in our 220 SD will die. It (so far) has restarted easily. It has happened now maybe a total of 4 times. Always while at idle and not in either forward or reverse. I doubt the IAC has ever...
