For anyone that has a 280 Sundancer or comparable with twin screws, do you ever play with the drive trim or the trim tabs? A buddy of mine has told me that I should be able to approve fuel economy by trimming the drives up about 5 degrees (1 or 2 notches on the gage). I tried that for a few...

I know this is a bit off topic, but because there is so much expertise on this forum, I thought someone may have the answer. I just purchased a used 2008 Yamaha VX110 Deluxe waverunner. There is space in my slip at the marina where I keep my 280 Sundancer to also moor the waverunner. The...

I just received a call from my marina stating that one of my dock neighbors reported that my gas cap was off (hanging on the chain). When I was bringing the boat in on Saturday (2 days ago) I stopped to fill up. Although I can't be sure I think I forgot to put on the gas cap!!! I think the...

We have an 110V AC outlet on the starboard side of the cockpit, near the captain's seat that appear to be dead. We have checked breakers, fuses, etc., trying to find out why we can't get power from this outlet. Is there something that I am missing --- a switch or something that needs to be...

My 280 Sundancer came with the 15" LG LCD Monitor with DVD option. The marina where I keep the boat has cable tv at the dock so I purchased a coaxial cable and ran a line from the dock connection to my coax connection in the transom locker. I have tried everything on the TV set and have been...

I am a relatively new member, so if there is already a thread that covers this, please point me in the right direction.... Does anyone have any experience pulling a tube behind a 280 Sundancer? With the towing eyelet on the transom, it looks like it should be fairly straight forward to hook a...

Hello to all, Just purchased our first boat this winter and will be docked on Lake St. Clair, Michigan once everything thaws out. I ran across the Club Sea Ray message boards and after reading some of the postings over the last few days, decided to register as a member. What a wealth of...
