I had to replace the timing belt on my Westerbeke 4.5 BCGTC gen in my 1999 340 sundancer. I am going to retorque the heads, adjust the valves and check the timing. My question concerns the timing marks, I marked the one on the crank but do not see before and after top dead center markings on the...

Finally was able to work on fixing shower sump electrical problem. Found circuit breaker panel for both pumps on the fwd bulkhead in the bilge. Breakers were good. Shower sump wiring was corroded inside wire loom and had to replace it along with sump. Aft cabin float switch wiring was bad...

I also have a 1999 340 dancer with the same problem. Did you buy an oem replacement or an after market faucet? My shower faucet is also leaking and has to be replaced. I don't believe you can replace the washers in it or the galley one. Thanks

JVM, thank you for your reply. Sorry for the delay in responding to you. Medical problems got in the way. I cut the feed wires to the shower sump pump (have to replace the sump anyway) and ran a ground wire back to the negative terminal on the battery in the bilge. tested the connection at the...

The shower sump and the aft cabin pump on my 1999 340 dancer have no power to them. I looked at the DC wiring schematic in the sea ray owners manual for a fuse or circuit breaker and did not see one ( really small print and bad eyesight with glasses) Has anyone had problems with their sump...

Update on the Ac unit replacement. Bought a Marinaire 14,000 BTU rev cycle unit. The 12,000 cruisair that came with the boat -340 dancer.. was really borderline for cooling. I felt a 16,000 btu unit would be to big for the boats size and I might have to add vents to handle the increased air...

Sorry for the late reply..Watching grandkids can make you lose focus. Thank you all for the info on the unit and the pump. I'm going to order it. Will post the results when done. Thanks again, Dave

Have to replace my cruisair 12,000BTU ac unit on my 1999 340 sundancer. Looking at a marineair 14,000btu Rev cycle unit as a replacement. Has anyone installed one of these units, and if so, we're you satisfied with it? In order to install the 14000 btu unit I need to know the gallons per...

Have the door for a Norcold DE-541 fridge with almond color insert very good condition..$40.00 Also have for the same unit the power supply and transformer... 40.00. The power supply was working on the unit. The compressor failed.

I have a 1999 340 dancer and my norcold fridge-DE/EV-541 stopped working. Cooling fan for compressor runs when on a/c or D/C. But compressor does not kick on in either mode. Has anyone experienced this problem and what did you do to fix it? Or what can I check to see what the problem is. Also...

Did you figure out the problem? And if not. Do you have a gen set?

Since I am already in the water and can't drain it out the drain plug. I will use the shop vac to catch as much of it as i can before it hits the bilge. Whatever hits the bilge I can vacuum up later. Hope this helps

Have to change the anti freeze on both 7.4 merc inboards. I cannot find my manuals as to which long life antifreeze I should use and how much I need. Should I use the premixed long life or the one you mix yoursel. Engine is a closed system. Manifolds,spacers and elbows are raw water cooled...

Bt Doctor, thanks for the info. Will use the permatex when I put it together.

Thank you for your advice. I bought the osco risers because the supplier did not have 6" risers by merc in stock. I will remove the iron over the winter and also check for internal leaks. I used merc gaskets and all new studs and bolts. According to my supplier Merc does not recommend putting...

Installed new manifolds, risers and elbows this past June. The elbows and manifolds are merc and the 6" risers are osco. They are mounted on 454 MPI's. While winterizing the motors I noticed rust lines running down the risers on one engine. The line starts at the gasket between the elbow and...

http://www.leuci.com/ Here is the web site for the company that makes the bulbs. I had the same problem locally, not available. Bulb is made in Italy. I found the bulb I needed on their web site. I did not order it because I found two spare bulbs on my boat. I forgot I bought them 7+ years ago...

Tried the gen again and it fired up. I am going to change the spark plugs as suggested. I want to thank everyone for your help and suggestions.

Finally made it back to the boat to put the new choke solonoid in. Removed the flame arrester. When I hit the preheat switch the choke butterfly closed all the way. So I hit the start toggle and it fired right up. Stopped and started it several times. It started each time. I then let it warm up...

Made it back to the boat and tried to fire up the gen. Still had problem with starting even though I thought i had solved the problem by lubricating the choke solonoid piston. It did fire up after luricating the choke. But after trying a few more times the choke did not close all the way. Took...
